2. I'm only getting democratic robocalls here in Chicago.

I have volunteered for democratic candidates in the past.

The most interesting race is the one for my state legislature representative. I have the choice of the fake democrat who was a republican who switched parties so he could win in a very liberal area (west side of Chicago). Wow is he sleazy. He is blond and white. He has billboards with a black man next to his name so people will think he is black . He is very anti choice and has done missionary work in Kenya.

His opponent is black has worked for years in the community and unfortunately was charged with taking a $7000 bribe from a day care center wanting him to support a grant for their center.

In my opinion the $7000 bribe is bad. But, a bribe from a day care center to help their needs is far better than a legal bribe from the koch brothers.
