(93,831 posts)look at Rahm Emanuel and how much people posted about how horrible he was. yet there was no effort to challenge him in the election for mayor. and that was an open election and a candidate had to get majority or else the top 2 would run against each other in a 2nd election. this is what people claimed they wanted .
but my above comments are more about a certain type that you see on the internet .
there are people who actually do get out there and do the hard work. it's very difficult but they do it. sometimes it takes a number of elections to see the change. virginia is a good example of this . it use to be reliable red but has turned purple and gone blue in recent elections.
of course the internet revolutionaries complained about terry mcauliffe yet they did nothing to run a candidate against him in the primary .
