I would hesitate to get any factual info from the League of Women Voters. They are highly biased and are 100% aligned with the Democratic Party while presenting themselves as unbiased.

You should read their guides, they have historically been pretty good.

They are actually considered to be very good and unbiased. It's all about information, one of the few sources left like that.

Their voting guide is actually very unbiased. On things like the ammendments and props on our ballot this year, they present the arguments both for and against.

When there are actual candidates running, they ask all of them to submit written reponses to the same questions. They then print the candidates own, written answers to each question. They do this for every candidate in every party without inserting any opinion or any of their own words.

I take issue with this statement in the League’s listed principles:

“The League of Women Voters believes every citizen should be protected in the right to vote; every person should have access to free public education that provides equal opportunity for all; and no person or group should suffer legal, economic, or administrative discrimination.”

They believe convicted, imprisoned felons should have the right to vote? Not me
Free public education? No public education is free, as the taxpayers are well aware.
Criminals certainly can and do “suffer” legal discrimination, even for a lifetime after parole.

Voting is f**king lame

If I find out you didn’t vote in an election and then complain about the result, I do not see your argument as valid. If you vote and are still upset, then you lost and I’m sorry. Voter apathy is silly. Just do the thing. I will be voting tomorrow.

If you have a better idea, then why not suggest it? Complaining about it and then say or do nothing to change it or make it better is even more "lame" than "voting".
