4. Two-year terms are not a long run.
And your "proportional representation" is a pile o' crap.

Our party dropped the ball on its foot KNOWING that redistricting was coming up.

But here's the thing. The old white guy party is making its last stand. It is grabbing everything there is to grab before it is so permanently outnumbered that it's only an ugly memory.

What we have now is not necessarily anything like we'll face in five or ten years.

Remember: the banking system is still wildly unsound and unregulated.

Remember: climate change is going to cause HUGE population movement.

So even the districts they think they have forever may turn on them.

You don't remember the Dust Bowl, do you? Congress is futzing over stupid crap while the big and necessary planning is going unmade.

Did you see what happened to Russian wheat last summer? How's our wheat? How are our bees?

Don't assume anything.
