...because yes, we could take the House and Senate in November, if people get off of their asses and vote, if they stop the bullshit excuses and ridiculous "politicians are all the same, it doesn't matter who I vote for so I won't vote" crap.

That's the conundrum.

it's right there, within arm's reach, and there will be some who won't bother to reach for it and then complain if they don't get what they wanted.

The goal between now and November is to make as many people as possible realize that their vote DOES count, even in the age of Putin, gerrymandering, and every other dirty trick up the GOP's sleeve.

Seeing a Media Pattern that mirrors 2014 here in Nevada,of course since that year,the State wide Newspaper of record has been purchased by Sheldon Adelson. But,what seems to be happening once again is,the Print Media and the Electronic Media is not covering Candidates other than taking their Ad Money.

The ones who think the world is 6000 years old
The ones who think burning coal is carbon neutral
The ones who think fruit contaminated by Monsanto and Dow is healthy
The ones who think that drinking water from a fracking site is good for you
The ones who think education is bad for you
The ones who think Russia is a better place to live than Massachusetts
The ones who think that wearing red baseball caps beats putting food on their families' tables
The ones who think that a high-paying, low skill job is JUST around the corner just because

In other words, that 32% who chew sugared gum like that 1 out of 5 dentists recommends.
