(8,492 posts)When I first lived here, back in '90, it was purple. More and more seniors moved in, young people and families moved out. It just keeps getting older, meaner and more crazy. Just look at our Governor.
There is some hope, however. We have a huge (and growing) Hispanic community that is solid Democratic and they're pissed off. Voting for them is made as difficult as possible, but we're doing what we can to ensure their rights are protected.
The biggest problem is money. The rich in this state are RW and they have nothing better to do than buy elections and shit on the rest of the state. I've stopped donating to our county Dem. party after 2 viable Democratic candidates got next to nothing in support. Now, I donate direct to candidates. Oh, and our Democratic politicians aren't the cream of the crop, either. It's very often a 'hold your nose' voting process. Not always, but often.
