1. First election after SCOTUS guts the VRA.

Coincidence?

2. It was voter apathy. Usually occurs at midterms, worse than usual this time. However, contrary to

what the MSM would like you to believe it was NOT a mandate. Opinion poll after opinion poll rate Congress extremely low, with republicans rated lower than Democrats.

3. Funny, Oregon's was pretty damn high for a mid-term election 69.5%

I wonder, just wonder why that is?

4. Coupled with Most Expensive Midterm Ever...

...and you see the results of Citizen United coupled with Republican control in most States pursuing a goal of voter suppression.

5. A lot of people believe it's all rigged,

and to and extent they're right. Just look at how corrupt the whole process has become. It's become nearly impossible to vote the bastards out. Who are we going to vote for -- the other bastard on the ballot? He's also on the gravy train. We're in deep shit, deeper than most people realize.

6. We have to do better than that

Without turnout we can't win.
