Oh I get it, and I believe you 100%. But I have to say that is just proof people don't vote enough. If the GOP gerrymandered the map, it's because they were voted into positions where they could. If no one challenged them, it's because the people who appointed relevant judges were voted into place.

American (and I want to make clear I am not targeting you as an individual here) has a problem with thinking only one vote matters, and it's for one guy every four years in november. Every position from the lowest city clerk to US senator matters, and we need to vote consistently for everything, not just put a ballot in for president when we're worried about a hotbutton item that we'll forget a week later.

100%. We always say if the valley voted, Texas would be the most valuable swing state. Hopefully that changes with these younger voters coming of age but as of right now most people only vote in presidential elections.
