(20,453 posts)I believe unless we have some MAJOR change in party leadership, the cards are telling us that our choices given by the DCCC equals a pretty shitty one in 2016. How many years has that gone on? But, why even limit the consideration that a low post count here constitutes how a voter will think? Given the value of our votes, given no choice, how much of this stuff can we stomach?
Alternatively, is there anyone as concerned about those in the 1% and whether they need to vote or DO vote? No
you don't see much written in the MSM about that. The data, however, is extensive on why LOW incomes will vote or how they will define themselves. Now the 1% example of not valuing the vote is for a completely different reason. Why, when you can lobby, especially after the Citizen's United determined way to hide all your money, bother? Their method is far better than voting when you can suppress through propaganda and buy your politicians.
The right to vote fails when money trumps who comes who is placed on the ballot. After a while, even in this forum, we question and we protest by not showing up. Face it
it's happening and that means the high post counts here are going to be part of that unless something changes real soon.
