Have you tried googling them? I'm not being snarky but sometimes it's all we have.

I've already voted and had this struggle as well. I googled the candidates on my ballot and some came up with nothing more than a facebook post dated sometime last spring that says 'I'm running for x. Vote for me.' So I sadly ended up voting by party, which I hate to do, for those races that failed to give any info.

Sometimes though the google search will give newpaper articles about bad behavior and even convictions with jail time. Don't vote for those candidates.😏

Check the sample ballot for your district before voting so you know what you're getting into before going to vote. Check it here.

>Yea I mean, this is a crazy reaction, but you never know what the “victim” did to set this woman off. This woman didn’t just randomly start acting like that. It’s also super convenient that the young “victim” had the phone handy to perfectly record every single second of this altercation while acting very coy and holier than thou.

You contradict yourself here. How is it possible that the woman "didn't just randomly start acting like that" but the victim "perfectly recorded every single second"? Which is it? The woman broke laws in her reaction to what is described as being honked at. Even if it was worse than that, her response broke laws. She needs to be on the sharp end of a prison sentence and learn how to control herself.

You probably come from the school that teaches "It's her fault, Officer. She made me hit her."

As someone else said, look for kiln dried to burn this year. Jac's Firewood in Turner offers kiln dried. Check their website for details. I've bought seasoned from them in the past and they're good people.

Next year, order 'seasoned' wood in the spring. It'll be ready by winter. Might be a little sizzly but it'll heat.

What makes you explicitly communist? Is it the desire to be subversive? If you really want to "help" then maybe call yourselves something less controversial.

I'm not a capitalist by any stretch. My mother thinks I'm a communist because of my criticism of it, but I'm not. The history of crimes against humanity should be enough for anyone to denounce it. Yes, the same could be said about capitalism but I'm not banging a drum about that either.

The first link goes literally nowhere. The second to a link about Cuban doctors going to another country to help. That's not communism. If it is, then the US government is communism.

Communism doesn't "solve" problems any more than capitalism does. It does have a phenomenally shitty record on human rights though.

No. That is not philanthropy. This is: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/philanthropy

Which is how you portray your political group. Not a bad thing but why call yourselves communists when you could more palatably call yourselves secular humanists?
