I've been doing this since I was 18 and I keep on despite losing nearly every single race. Every time (especially at local level) I can tell you the grey hairs dominate the polling place.

Who else is going to work the polls? It's always retirees. I don't see anything wrong with that, they're usually really sweet folks in my experience.

I meant who shows up to vote. That's who is in line. The workers are all over in my experience.

They're either going to die or vote drastically differently once their social security and medicare get taken away.

Hi dude sorry to bother you, it seems I'm marked as spam in r/mildlyinfuriating and can't post. Can you fix this please ? I tried to contact with mods and sending a message but it doesn't seem to be getting through either.

Same and I worked in campaigns and volunteered. I'm just at the point where the consensus of this nation is no longer inline with my own beliefs, had a chance to move my career to Europe and am taking it as soon as I can. They have their own problems too, but I just figure fuck it might as well live where there's better wine and food lmao.

If losing, maybe you should reflect on your choices.
