Waste of Time.
Tomorrow is New Jersey’s Primary for state and local elections. Here’s the story in my district.
On the Democrat side, all the candidates (all of whom are incumbents) are running unopposed.
On the Republican side, no petitions were filed for several offices, meaning the Democrats will run unopposed for those offices in November. For those few offices for which a Republican desires to run in November, there is just that – one Republican.
Hell, in my district, it’s hard enough to find one Republican, let alone two, who are willing to go through the motions of running for office, only to be slaughtered in November by the Democrat Sheeple vote.
That all adds up to this primary being a waste of time and a huge waste of all that paper that was used to print out thousands of bilingual sample ballots.
It’s all quite depressing.
Doesn’t voting Republican in NJ feel like a lost cause ALL the time? Ugh.

Here in CA, Dems Boxer, Pelosi, Feinstein, barely bother to campaign. At all. Why? Because Cali is such a libertard state? No, not really. It’s because as long as Dems own the majority, redistricting will never pass. They buffaloed their way right past it last year using actors “playing” judges on their dishonest ad’s. Even trotted out one actual Judge Wapner. Talk about some sheeple~ we’re inundated with them.

Pretty much the same here in Burlington County, Jim, but at least we get some Republicans to file petitions.

Same, same in Monmouth county. All slots except 1 have 1 repub, 1 dem on ballot. No contests. That one has a repub, but no dem.
I’d write repub and dem in lower-lower case, if there were one. These people are beneath contempt.
