White men & women are the problem.

47. Do you have any idea how offended I am about such a blanket statement?

If you want to know the real problem with voting, it's apathy. To say that it's all the white peoples' fault about why there isn't enough Dems elected is, well scapegoating. Do what you can to help to get people to vote in the first place, don't go placing blame on the portion of the group that did get out and vote! Take the county where I live as an example: Kitsap, Washington state. Only 27% voted in this last election. Let's break it down like this: 27,000 registered voters voted while 73,000 did not. This was despite the fact that Washington state has mail in ballots only; that not only did they get the ballot delivered to their home weeks in advance, 73,000 registered voters felt it to be too much trouble to fill it out, put a stamp on it, and drop it in the fucking mail! You want to help get more Dems elected? Figure out how to get 73,000 voters in a county that with a history of sending Dems to the House to just plain participate! Instead, it looks like a GOP state senator got elected, by just 730 some votes!
