British Officials Portrayed Reagan as a “Bozo”

44. Yeah

you don't have to sell me on doing something to free up EVERYONE to vote.

But, given that what we have now, sadly, is non-stop efforts by republican's to KEEP people from voting, and again, the sad fact that no on really seems to give a shit about it, we aren't going to see that anytime soon.

It is what it is, and if people were less comfortable, they would fight through whatever obstacles they face.

Which again, are a lot less threatening than what a lot of people in other countries face.

I would note Oregon, which has mail in ballots, they do a LITTLE better than the national average.

But, again, I am absolutely with you on doing whatever we can to get more people out to vote.

I don't see how the mid terms are going to go well. There isn't the unifying lunacy of Obamacare as the greatest threat to the country in our history, but it still has been so successfully negatively framed it will be a net negative in November.

And, as a non-presidential and the mid term with a democratic president dems will sleepwalk through it while Rs will find enough energy on whatever bullshit they can gin up to have more of their folks at the polls.

Thanks for talking and while I am being a wet blanket, I do appreciate your hopefulness.

We can both hope that your sense wins out ...
