Comment on How to run for Florida Officeparent

Comments

Thank you for running.

Why? You've got no idea what his policies were! They could have been absolutely appalling, oppressive dystopian ideas, standing for everything you're against (I'm sure they weren't, exhilaration).

We desperately need more people to care enough to run. Since most of the power got concentrated in Washington, local politics is way to isolated from the rest of us. I'm poor, and I'm considering a run for a local office.

This last election day, only 4 of the races on my ballot were even contested. The policy could have been to chop up all logsfromblammo into kindling and use them light fires under wicker cages filled with crying children, and I still would have voted for it, just because it wasn't for the smug, major-party incumbent.

So yeah, thanks for running. Because of you, someone was able to make a choice.

Nah, it's not like he was running for President.

or her policies

It's ridiculous to argue this, but if you look at his comments, he appears to identify as a man.

Not from the OP's comment at least, just thought it was wrong to assume

You're assuming I assumed (I did assume, but so did you, so let's just not pick fights with others).
