(3,825 posts)Has had not effect on voting? We let this happen, and they abused their power to excess. They have always had a plan to do this, as far back as Lee Atwater. They knew exactly what they were doing. We thought we could win on principal. They win by gaming the system. Draw a district with 5,000 Republicans and 25 Democrats, which party do you think will win that election? Make incumbents safe especially in crazy, religious districts, make them fear gays, abortion, AA, taking their guns away, and we just looked aghast and thought this would never happen. These crazies get out and vote, and we sit at home thinking just because our candidate has the better ideas, the better plan for the disadvantaged, taxes, health care.......no hate always wins. We should have known better. We, and I mean every Democrat out there that has stayed home and not voted, has allowed this to happen. It's not the DLC, DNC or the party. They now are working to make it even more difficult for anyone but a white male Republican to vote. You think you will be able to get your socialist agenda through that?????? I have to laugh at that one. Or we will get exactly what we deserve, a Trump presidency, a republican house and senate and they will destroy this country. Hope your house is paid for or you have a safe place to go, it's going to make the Great Depression look like we lived in Disney Land.
