18. I fear we will never get rid of rethug control since they control voting in the red states

The west coast states make voting easy, automatically register you if you get an ID. But these red states are now locked down and no longer winnable. Democracy RIP on November 8th, 2016. Get used to one party rule at the federal level and the 33 other states. If they take over 1 more state they can change our constitution to their interests. I don't see people waking up in those states being fed fake propaganda and false narratives. i think the Democratic Party is dead on arrival at this point.
