SECTION personal political perspectives

My voting positions & election thoughts.

// FOR

Mostly for me, my friends, and my family. A place to organize my thoughts and share reasoning.

// NOT

Hot takes. I’m not trying to persuade anyone.

// HOW

Reasonable people can disagree on policy while sharing common values.

// MANIFESTO

Democracy works best when we engage thoughtfully. These are my contributions to that conversation.
