What they don't understand is that we are the actual majority

When they step out of the bubble of their vote suppressed, gerrymandered perception of "victory" and are confronted by their actual, real constituents they get a rude surprise. Even people you wouldn't let vote get to show up at your town halls and voice their opinions!

There are more people who didn't or couldn't vote for you than there are who did.

I'm not talking about the parasites who couldn't even be bothered to get off their asses and vote at all - I'm talking about the tens and hundreds and thousands and hundreds of thousands of politically involved people who wanted to vote, who tried to vote, who found they couldn't vote because the machines were broken, the lines were too long, they had no I.D., the ballots were "spoiled", the machine "miscounted".

All these people still actually exist. They (we!) can and will show up at your town halls - if you dare to have one - and give voice to the fact that you do not represent the majority of the citizens in your district - your state - your country! OUR country!
