I went to the ballot and saw someone running for Senator who I had never heard of, against other people who I had never heard of

And the other Senator ran unopposed for a party different from my Presidential ticket pick, but not like that matters because my state is too populated for my vote to have the same weight, or any weight, in the outcome

Tell me again why my state chose anything?



If you've never heard of your states senators, that's pretty sad. I knew who my state's senators were when I was like 6, or at least the senator for my district.

There's only two of them, you can definitely learn about them.

This does not make the rest of your comment untrue.


I knew at least one of them at least one at one point in time, and I didn't even live in that state then. I would say its pretty sad you're in the same place you were since you were 6.

I guess the point is that we don't know anything about each other and can't make any conclusion really, except that states don't choose anything with any coherent rationale because the individuals are on just as wide of a spectrum of awareness and lack of choice.
