You think that republicans play by the rules? Oh I have to laugh at that one. They threw away the rule book years ago. We had Democrats running in Texas that would change their registration after they won their elections. They were never Democrats anyway. You have to elect people that will work for change, not just whine about how things never change. There are a lot of good people out there working in the state and local level for change, but unless you change the ladders up to the top state levels of legislatures and their control and I mean redrawing the gerrymandered districts to have representation equal to the demographics, you are just wasting your breath. Get to work, run for election, (but you will find that one really isn't that easy and it cost a lot of money and it demands a lot of time) most people are too lazy to work that hard for it, so we get what we get. Election reform is on everyone's mind, it's been on mine since McGovern. Yeah, that long.

Seriously, try working at the state level where the most need is. Loki Jul 2016 #32

Why make excuses? The Dems had a chance and passed. Kinda like 2000 and 2004 never happened. Scuba Jul 2016 #33

Why bother, when you can't seem to do anything but throw blame around. Loki Jul 2016 #34
