Yet they find more ways to corrupt the system. Voter suppression, Citizens United, gerrymandering, etc. Who knows what they will come up with next!

a king. Then none of us wage serfs will have a say. They probably won't even have to bother with the token election process. Then the coup of 2000 will be complete.

is that i've been saying that for YEARS. they should have gone the way of the whigs and tories years ago and they haven't!
do you still believe americans are smart enough to get rid of them? well i agree it's bound to happen, but i am growing bitter these days because it will not happen fast enough. i may not even live to see it happen, and that sucks.

The Democratic party is going to have to give people something to vote for rather than take the votes of certain demographics for granted.
