    The sooner more people realize that percentage is a lost cause the sooner we can start moving forward. That percentage will follow everyone else eventually. That’s what they do. They are not leaders.

      Yeah? How do you suppose we go about taking away their right to vote? Last time I checked, that’s not going to happen. Nor should it. Yet, here we are.

      They’re a symptom of the education nightmare, of disingenuous “news” media, poverty, social media echo chambers, and a cadre of other factors. Think any of those things are going away soon either?

      The sooner we all realize that this country needs a reset, the sooner we can move forward.

        You don’t need to take away their right to vote, just give a fair and proportionate voting power, which is a hell of a lot less than the voting power they have now.

          It has nothing to do with how 30% vote. We already know how they vote. It’s about everyone else getting on the same page. It’s about priorities.

            I kinda wish votes were displayed at the bottom of a comment instead of the top so people actually have to read the comment before voting instead of just bandwagoning.
