A community for the community of the community in Thurston county, Washington, that is also the state capitol and just a swell place to find home and own a guitar. Posts about the county are acceptable fersure.

MODERATORS
I trust the Texas Legislature even less than the average Texas voter. This seems like a way to intensify the radicalness of the pool that goes to Washington but admittedly, I am not familiar enough with this kind of system to have an informed opinion on it.
Until about eight years ago, I would've said this seemed like a way to decrease the radicalness of the Senate by forcing candidates through a filter of party establishment support. Now, though, the whole Republican Party establishment is radical so it's more a way to reinforce that and prevent deradicalization.
