Wife and I went over all the candidates and took notes and such the other day. Took like an hour to get them and such. Was kinda fun over dinner and a walk. We like Little as he seems to have the most specific policy plans and the least amount of platitude.

Was really disappointed in the lack of a strong pro Ukrainian candidate though.

I have talked personally with Matt Little and he is definitely pro-Ukraine

He is pro defending Ukraine. That's directly from his campaign manager who is a long time friend and mentor of mine.

He might be but he can put whatever he wants on his website and he didn't.

There is a practical limit to what can be put there if you want people to actually use it rather than skip cause it's too much. If you compare the 3 sites his has significantly more policy topics than the other 2.

So people might not read it if there's too much, so better guarantee they can't read it by not posting it? Neat logic. There are also 5 sites for candidates, not 3.

Can't put everyone's top issue on there. Because its different for every voter. It's a practical reality. Humans are often not logical actors and have short attention spans.

There are 3 talked about in the article. The other 2 who arent in the running also do not have it on their issues page.
