Not usually. Last time I voted in a local election the candidates every position looked like looked like:

School board, two of the following candidates:

Aaron Hitler(R): reverse integration, apply more discipline to students, stop paying teachers so damn much, get the globalist bankers out of our children's education!

Phillipa Marinetti(D): replace teachers with ai, increase budget by 500%, turn all facilities into data centers and create a machine to feed the weakest children into for public entertainment!

david yutani-vonweyland(independent): put the kids to work in our shiny new factory! Create jobs!

Oh and

Do we want to add more money to the can high speed rail fund to build high speed rail that my parents voted successfully to approve when I was a child? We gave all the money to elon musk. OOPSIE
