(38,187 posts)What we need is to fight the Republican party with their gerrymandering and their other nasty tactics that keep them in power. If they did not rig the vote with gerrymandering and other nasty tactics, they would not be able to hang on as a party. They are going down and doing everything they can to keep from losing more than they have already lost.
I live in a state where I have no choice but to vote for the Blue Dog Democrat most of the time and I do vote consistently for only the Democratic Party. But Truman was right, the Republicans will vote for a real Republican over a Democrat who tries to act like a Republican every single time.
What needs to be done to fight the Republicans most effectively is to shore up support for liberals in the south. We ARE here in large enough numbers that it would work. The rest of the country just needs to realize that and do something about it instead of hating all southerners so much. It would finally put the Republican Party and their whiny temper tantrum pitching asses to bed.
