a term I want to see Democrats start using: "Voter Nullification"

[Moostache]

11. Does anyone truly believe that we are losing our democracy because of syntax and words?

Voter Nullification is not too complex.

The problem is that the GQP is playing to a radicalized base of zealots who are willing to die rather than admit something they were told to oppose is actually good for them.

Vaccines. Voting Rights. Public Health maintenance efforts. Racial equality. Equitable taxation. Access to healthcare.

In every single one of those issues, the Fox-box speaketh and the mouth-breathers regurgitateth.
There is no point trying to save these people from themselves or their aberrant owners in the Fox-box control structure.

They are impervious to truth or facts or science or rational thought. They are mono-syllabic morons, being led to slaughter like the obedient sheep - or maybe lemmings - they appear to resemble.

When the insane will no longer consent to government of, by and for ALL the people, then the experiment has failed and its time to cull the herd once more. A democratic representative republic is the single best AND worst thing in world history. Undeniably superior to all other forms of governance, and yet still inadequate for a bunch of barely evolved savannah apes to apply judiciously.

When the power of love exceeds the love of power, the world will know peace. We are light years away from that chance currently...
