But we can't afford another 4 years of the anal idiot. We have to make sure everyone knows what he's doing to this country.

Doesn't feel like there are more of us. OliverQ Jul 2019 #14

40% of them means 60% of us. Therefore, there are more of us. lagomorph777 Jul 2019 #15

Most of those 60% don't vote, whereas probably all the 40% do. OliverQ Jul 2019 #16
