I don’t really vote at the federal level anyway I focus on state and local elections that have more impact on my life. As a christian I don’t feel confident in my ability to answer to god why I picked a certain candidate at that level which is another reason I favor more localized government so politicians are humans in the community again.
I asked a pretty simple question and I wasn't looking for your life story.
Most people want an explanation when I say I don’t vote at the federal level so I kind of get defensive with it. State empowerment movements are growing like crazy it’s a lot easier to admit this in real life than it was even a decade ago.
If you don't vote federally why do you care about Pelosi and Biden?
It seems hypocritical.
They still screw things up for me the federal government takes from my paycheck etc I’m not happy with where the money goes when either side has power.
'Etc' is used to continue a list of like things and you can't can't do that with one item in a list.
All forms on income outside my Roth IRA and 401K.
Am I actually talking to ChatGPT here because it is not making any sense.
Which besides your paycheck is... what exactly? Or are these hypothetical streams of income once you get out of the "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" hole you're in.
