I got my official voter info guide for the upcoming 2018 California Primary Election. Lotsa reading.
Fortunately I have help.
Nancy's great. She picks out all the biglyest, stronglyest most viable conservative christian candidates and issues. Nancy wants to make sure that my white, affluent, privileged lifestyle remains intact.
Thanks, Nancy!

(2,431 posts)I use Nancy's Picks to tell me what the people I want to vote against really want. Anything sneaky included in bills or candidates -- Nancy exposes them because she wants them to happen.
So generally, I will consult this guide and vote the opposite... maybe 95-100% of the time.

(2,431 posts)It's becoming clear, particularly in CA, that running with an (R) next to your name risks losing. Bigly. Heck, Issa's not running at all! Yay!
It might be a little easier with candidates, although we still need to watch out for red people wearing blue suits.
Case in point (from Nancy)
Of the 4 candidates running, MARSHALL TUCK (D) is the "LEAST DANGEROUS" to Conservative Values. There are NO Conservatives, and NO Republicans in this race, unfortunately.
On the positive, TUCK supports Charter Schools, is opposed to regulating Homeschooling, supports Christmas religious songs, opposes the Transgender Bathroom Bill, supports parents being notified before a student has an abortion,
and supports creating vocational training.
TUCK'S main opponent is extremely Liberal Assemblyman TONY THURMOND, who holds opposite views on these issues. DO NOT VOTE for THURMOND!
Nancy is even more "helpful" when it comes to ballot initiatives...

(51,590 posts)on a local level and sometimes the choices are for Dems only. That does not get them a free pass in my book. If I read their bio and know the inside scoop from my teacher pals and my own experience than I write in my dog's name. That is the ONLY time I will not vote for a Dem since even though they are Dems, they can still suck in my opinion.
