What you all need to start worrying about is the Republican state legislatures changing the division of electoral votes from their states to be on the basis of congressional districts, since they have gerrymandered those districts so that a minority of rural voters will easily gain the majority of congressional seats from the states, and the state districts are also done the same way.

That has a lot of problems that would have to be resolved in the SCOTUS ultimately, but the national elections are not where many of the most important things are decided. The state elections are in that sense much more important and focusing on them has allowed Republicans to stack the deck so far. They have no way of winning any fair electoral fight almost anywhere outside the old Slave South, but they do have several ways of stacking the deck.

Why is it so goddamned hard to get little assholes like you to admit it when you fuck up? Is it pride? What gives you the right to have any pride?
