stereotypical queer nerd

for instance when biden went for potus, so did elizabeth warren (i think? i wasnt super into politics then so memories arent great) and she wouldve been SO much better than biden, but the stupid electability thing kept a lot of people from voting from her in the primaries.

but i think what the dems need to realise is that they need their voters, and that seing voters arent always halfway in between. electability may work in australia, but in america when you can just not vote, its easy for dems to say the candidate isnt progressive enough and not vote, so by trying to 'soften' the candidate chosen to appeal to more people youre actually loosing support around your own party

what does this mean???

specifically these words:

- electability

- primaries

- dems

dems is just short for democrats because i cant be bothered typing it out lol

and what im saying is that because in america you dont have to vote, lots of people wont vote for someone that does somewhat align with their values, because they dont go far enough.

for us, that would be aligning with the greens and therefore refusing to vote labor, because you dont have to vote for anyone else anyways

which is fair, but if the greens arent an option, and people arent voting labor, then liberals or one nation is going to win, which is terrible.

a lot of the focus of the upcoming midterms is voter turnout, ie focusing more on getting people to turn up to vote for you, rather than switching votes from republicans or democrats

- Kaz has many hyperfixations/special interests. Magic, lock-picking, and honestly I would even consider his meticulous plans and schemes as hyperfixations to an extent.

- Socially detached, he struggles with/doesn’t care about social rules, standards, or small talk. (ex: extremely blunt, isolating himself from his own crew [the dregs], etc)

- Tends to be very literal

- He has very set rules in his mind about how people are and how society as a whole acts. (He struggled to believe that a father couldn’t be loving, he believes every single person has the same motive and drive for money and self-interest.)

- Routine is Kaz’s best friend

- He is like always stimming (ex: whenever he’s stressed he flexes/stretches/curls his hand up, twirling his cane, tracing the crow head on his cane, rolling coins, running hand through hair, etc)
