(252 posts)despite getting less than 50% of the vote in 2012 repubs 12 of the 16 congressional races and will until the courts act or the next census. Jim Renacci won my district after redistricting despite owing over $1 million in back federal taxes from his business days!
so who do i blame?? the 40-45 million who voted in 2008 and stayed home in 2010 and then pulled the same lazy ass routine in 2014 to re-elect Kasich etc. Voter suppression?? sure its despicable and a problem. thats still no excuse for 40+ million to skip the midterms, is two hours every 2 years too much to ask of people? apparently since they jack off countless hours every week on facebook, twitter and other useless pursuits!!!
they rarely win on high turnout elections plain and simple. we have to figure out how to motivate the midterm voter or else these assholes will continue to win with minority views
