    This person just wants to be angry. They haven’t proposed anything useful or mentioned anything possible to change. They might feel bad and not vote.

    Don’t let them pull you down to their level. Even if you’re depressed about the state of things, vote anyway. The people causing the problems want you to be depressed and not vote. Vote anyway. You can still complain later.

    Edit: told you

      Don’t put words in my mouth. I do my civic duty. And you want a solution? Burn it to ash and rebuild it.

          Let’s keep doing things the way we’re doing them then. I’m sure will be able to vote in change…

            Give us a Democratic supermajority, and we will rock your world with positive effects. That’s what we’re asking. It’s not a “just keep voting” thing, it’s a specific goal: we need enough Democrats in the legislature to override Republicans.

                No. I’m not prescribing any specific actions because that will depend on your area. In general:

                • If you don’t vote blue, vote blue
                • If you do vote blue, vote blue in every election
                • If you vote blue in every election, encourage others to do so
                • If your area is already a blue stronghold, get online and try to convince people from other areas to vote blue

                The goal is democratic supermajority. However you can best help achieve that, please do.
