The rest of the ballot is full of things [...] like local representatives, education leaders, district judges etc.

Maybe OT, but I've been watching a lot of voting advice on twitter, reddit, etc this year, and whenever someone mentions how important it is to get educated about your local options on the ballot, they get a flood of comments accusing them of encouraging people to abstain from voting or to vote 3rd party. It appears to be one limb of an aggressive anti-vote apathy or disinfo campaign.

Not sure if it's OT, but we definitely forget that the ballot affects you more personally within the other non presidential elections. Like the president, ultimately is just a guy. He's not gonna come here locally and fix my potholes. It's the local guy who does that shit. That's the election we should be really keen on. And then sure, let's build some more raptors and finish North Korea indirectly somehow before they do something stupid.
