In reply to the discussion: Why do we keep losing? We are the good guys [View all]Ferrets are Cool
(21,103 posts)48. Thank you for all the wonderful responses...
It was great to hear from each of you. I hate that cheaters, liars and the rich have the advantage because they cheat, lie and throw money at the right places.
I honestly do not know how we get out of this quagmire. Yes, we must vote, but we won the vote in Nov 2016 and still "lost" because they cheated. We won the vote in 2000 and "lost" because they cheated.
It does seem as though they have gotten even better at cheating since then.
I will continue to vote AND to encourage others to vote, but it does seem as though we are in a downward spiral that is never ending.
GET OUT THE VOTE!!! I know of nothing more we can do.
