Well, if threads are started like this one, it's to be expected.

It is 303 days until the 2018 House and Senate races. It's time to get to work supporting candidates.

Old white guys, and almost all of them are millionaires. That is not at all representative of America's demographic and there's no way in hell they fully understand the perspectives of millions of Americans who aren't like them, and have no idea what they are going through.

" It's time to get to work supporting candidates."
You mean, it's time to get to work and support the party platform, right? Pick a party and take or leave everything, right?

You're right, but I'd hope that just once they see the reprecussions for voting in corporate backed hacks. I really hope Paul Ryan is able to privatize social security. I really would like to see Medicare and Medicaid chopped down to nothing. We have w to thank for Medicare part d. I really hope big pharma gets to set the prices to life saving medications - free market right? I can't wait to pay for access to websites once the FCC does away with net neutrality. So much winning!
They won't care. It will still be bread and circuses (and race-bating) for the masses. And they'll be living lives of luxury off their new tax cuts. Oh wait! They are already living lives on luxury. I guess they'll just take baths in their money, for lack of anything else to do with it.
We are such a stupid animal.

The whole thing is breathtakingly immoral, isn't it?
It's like there are three addiction epidemics sweeping the nation - money, opioids, and delusion.
I don't discount white men, or lower income people, or rural areas of the country. If we want to turn this around, we have to stop believing and talking as if people are just stupid. Yes, some very clearly are but they're outnumbered. Despite that, the public discourse is still carried out on the terms of stupid people.
I think the first step is simply to stop talking to those people. They always identify themselves - make a note of that and move on.
Flipping things at the national level has to be grassroots - state and local level - because that's how Republicans did it.

When 70% of the population lives in urban areas and are represented by 30% of the senators, we are going to have this problem going forward indefinitely.
I don't even want to open the can of worms of a constitutional convention, because we would end up with a christian theocracy.
