      those who voted blue are also kind of assholes. You guys should get real democracy going: Ranked Choice Voting. Burn the current senate, congress and Supreme court down. Build them back properly.

        It’s not that easy, the system will take a lot to change and it will take years. It only comes down to two options. Red or blue. Didn’t have much of a choice. That doesn’t make us assholes, that makes us at the very mercy of the system. Not voting or voting for the niche party means failure.

        Man, if only that were possible. Every time anything local has tried anything to get ranked choice voting in or get rid of gerrymandering, it gets shot down, and if people tried any direct action they would really get shot down.

        Though that second option seems to be more viable each day here.
