Thanks to the GOP run SCOTUS and thanks to the non-voters on the Democratic side who made it possible by sitting on their hands rather than voting for a non-perfect Democrat.

(42,641 posts)is based on the minimal participation of voters. The Approximately 34% voter turnout in the 2014 election and the 2010 election is what allows the GOP to do what they do.
My comment is that people should not refuse to vote because the Democrats do not put up the perfect candidate. Rather vote for the BEST candidate in elections.
It would also help if the Democrats ran as an actual alternative to the GOP rather than running as the GOP-Lite. Might inspire the non-voters to vote.

vote by mail is a great idea.
Another great idea would be to separate money from politics by banning political contributions and publicly finance elections.
