We hardly have any democratic politicians left especially governors and state representatives. Also we are low on house seats but have enough to let them have their principles. The senate isn't too bad so we can afford some loss'. But we really are becoming extinct. And that is not discussed because everyone thinks the Repugs are going extinct with political seats is far from true.
