36. What part of being part of a majority who don't want this

is so hard to understand?

Anyone who can count senators can get the concept of how 67 senators get elected.

This stuff drives me crazy. Frankly, I have to respect our RW neighbors who vote religiously for very wrong things more than I do those who enable what they're doing by insisting there's no point in trying to stop them because we're doomed to lose. Two very different, very serious problems, but one is strong and determined and votes strength.
