Survived a social science PhD and now working happily as a government drone. Twitter refugee trying to find everyone here. Maybe the switch will make me spend less time doom scrolling.
I also don't vote in the primary, but the fact that they are polling similarly would make my choice easier. I could just vote for who I preferred without having to consider electability.

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him.
