Y'know; I am well aware that the Democrats are mediocre....but what does the Sane Majority hope to gain by staying home every Election Day? We lazily sit at home en masse while the minority who are crazy go out and vote without fail! I don't care if there's all that gerrymandering, if over 90% of Americans voted without fail, none of that gerrymandering crap wouldn't matter. America would be BLUE! The Far-Right would FALL and, eventually, over time, the political arena would become open to more Liberal candidates!
You'd think that with all our education & intellectualism that we Progressive Americans would be pounding the Regressives! Corporate money only explains so much! What does corporate money do, anyway, fancier political ads? Screw that! Use social media! Do fund-raisers! Where there's a will there's a way!
To Sane America, LISTEN UP.....Not Voting is not a good protest! It's what got us in this mess to begin with! Why do you think that it would magically make Regressives disappear?
Why can't the Progressives get together and and get ahead? Are we not the Majority? Are we not the brainier ones? The Far-Right has infighting and schisms, too but they're not disappearing!
We should learn from the Far-Right's playbook! Why aren't we implementing those strategies? Where's the planning? The scheming? The psychology? The propaganda? The language-framing? The Progressive candidates running for offices en masse from the bottom-up?
Today's youth are more Progressive than ever! This is good news! A bright future! However, that's all meaningless if they sit at home, picking their noses!
Sometimes I wonder if "Real America" is as sane and forward thinking as I thought.
I know, this will end, eventually, and America will eventually move Leftward.....but it's taking so DAMNED LONG! How long does a gal have to wait until "Sane America" finally flexes it's superior muscle (by virtue of number alone) and kicks the Wingnuts to the curb?!
Maybe Florida is the way it is due to all those old senile "Snowbirds" voting! They don't call Florida "God's Waiting Room" for nothing!
