Tropical Soulvangelical wants me the Happy Bachelor to write both about our local election and TSV having to do jury duty last month. We're going to write about those things separately. In this base share, we get to talk about who TSV voted for in the local primary. He went in looking for the #SpiritOf46 candidate, and subsequently he found that person. He put that person in his mail-in ballot a few days ago as of this share, but he still expects to get political ads till the "official" date in early June. It's kind of his way of figuring out who's going to be the "primary" candidate who's expected to win in November, hence making May-June the real contest for where we live. He reasonably doesn't think his choice is going to make it because it's a field of 10-20 candidates ranging from Antibiden Alarmist to Bernie Bro to some other power base. So whoever is going to win the primary he wants to write to that person's campaign with congratulations but letting them know that he did not vote for that person and the concept of principle for which he voted with the #SpiritOf46. He wants the victor to reach out to him with said concept of principle instead of -only- championing the 51 percent prevailing philosophy that gave that person the victory. He's heard about the "dangers" against democracy implying that the only threat to democracy is -trump-, and hence it's otherwise all hunky-dory, contrary to common sense observations. To only champion the 51 percent prevailing philosophy he considers itself to be at least as undemocratic as -trump- is. And we're not talking about economics here. Economics is TSV's observation as to what wins general elections, even though when one person wins a general election against the other, they can't help but to cop an attitude of a "we won you lost" sports event mentality, so he's wondering how economics figures into that kind of attitude. But in any case, it's the non-economic philosophies that TSV sees competing for attention in the primary, and whoever wins the primary he determines -has- to represent all philosophies that had competed, to the point where it really shouldn't be a "competition" to begin with. The only thing the concept of principle is competing against that matters is the scourge of personal corruption. If principle can't win, then it's personal corruption that does so, and that's not something that encourages TSV to want to support a primary victor if he doesn't think that the victor shares his values. It's going to be someone that he tweets and sends letters to on a regular basis for the next 10 to 20 years, and occasionally asking that person's office for help where appropriate, so he figures that that person -has- to share his values, and dispense with the vagaries of both the Antibiden Alarmists and the Bernie Bros if that person is going to be helpful, or just a localized dictator that -trump- only merely wants to be.

Tropical Soulvanglical served jury duty back in April, and I the Happy Bachelor don't distinctly remember talking about it here previously. TSV was expecting a showdown with the system over the concept of principle, and among other things, how it's God's Court that is the only place that matters where ultimate judgment is concerned. So the panel he was chosen for had as a defendant a young man presumably from an inner city neighborhood from the Bronx being accused of four distinct charges that TSV managed to remember from scratch. He vaguely remembers those as being armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, terrorism and impersonating a security officer. Those last two his gut feeling says were B.S., and he had told people a week before jury duty that he doesn't want to be used to condemn a poor kid from an inner city neighborhood to a lifetime of a revolving door in and out of the system when there are people like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake he sees as gaming the system over DUI charges and likely getting a wrist slap and not even having to see the inside walls of a court room. They've got the best legal teams money can buy. TSV has a role to play to make sure young people don't get the wrong impression as to right-and-wrong, so when he told the presiding judge that he doesn't think the system works, and was subsequently excused from the panel, he at least dodged a bullet on being made to render judgment against his values, but that's not good enough. There are any number of non-profits that try to help defendants who face likely unfair trials that he wants to make a donation to and explain to them what happened in court, and how he had to get excused from trial both for the children and the concept of principle. His donation would be the ultimate judgment on the court system itself, and substantiates God's Court as the only one that's going to ultimately matter over the jurisdiction of humanity. So even if -trump- doesn't go to jail, he is already condemned by God's Court for all eternity, so TSV sees it as serving the concept of principle of eventually officializing God's Court's Judgment on -trump- as per the ending of that Jack Chick comic regarding Holy Joe. Oh, by the way, TSV's thinking a lot about Jordan Neely lately, and wants to officialize there too in some capacity in the foreseeable future.
