It's money...plain and simple...it trumps everything

GOP has tons of it...add in Citizen's United...Corporation have free "political" speech...equals negative ads...plus low information voters...suppresses turnout....equals outcome.

Simple. In the doctors waiting room. TV on. Negative ads every commercial break. I could not believe how people stared, like zombies, eyes fixated on the stupid TV.

Low information voters HATE politics. They HATE having their TV programs taken over by political ads. They HATE both parties. Sorry, but the ground game does NOT WORK on low information voters. Don't call, don't knock, they DON"T care.
Both parties are the same, no good. Why VOTE? Not me!!! You won't catch me giving up my time to VOTE!!

The GOP has found nirvana in the bank accounts of the corporations. Negative mailers, negative TV and lies work to suppress voting. The GOP does not want thinkers, does not want people to vote.

A quiet movement has started. Move to Amend. https://movetoamend.org

Please join.
(It took women 72 years to get the vote. Thank goodness they didn't bow to the intellectuals that said it would never happen.)

It really is a good place to start to make a difference. https://movetoamend.org

1. When Democrats vote, Democrats win. Turnout was crappy and

Democrats who only vote in Presidential years, should be counted among low information voters.

2. Oh my goodness!!! It's MONEY people. MONEY suppressed the vote! nt

3. For the last 40 years, voter participation has been on the decline.

Money spent on elections is number ONE.

4. the money spent convinces some (obviously suceptable) people that there is no good person running

and when a good person does run, people tell lies about them so it makes them look bad.

5. Yes I agree. All over this board today are discussions about everything EXCEPT

money.

It's not complicated. It's money.
