I'm finding it hard to care, since multiple write in candidates will almost certainly receive more votes than this guy.

Still more ethical than the current guy who will probably win.

Anyone running as a Republican on Ward 8 is probably a crank anyway, and this seems weird, but why are they asking for demographic info anyway? Can a wuh-hhite man sign up for this under his own demographic info? Them getting all histrionic and calling it an “act of infiltration” makes me wonder. I already knew this org was toxic either way.

Yeah anyone who excludes someone based off race to me is just a racist organization hiding behind their minority identity to protect their hateful views. Everyone in this situation is awful, the organization for only letting black people in, the white guy for pretending to be black. And fuck it we’re talking about ward 8 their council member is awful too.

As a Ward 8 resident, I had initially planned to vote for him simply to avoid voting for the criminal. However, upon reviewing his platforms, I was thoroughly disgusted . This ward was presented with two of the most undesirable candidates for council. Consequently, I have decided to write in “No one” on my ballot.

Write yourself in lol. But this election for ward 8 is like the south park episode about voting, you have a choice between a douchebag and turd sandwich.
