To my fellow Democrats/liberals: Stop saying Republican voters are stupid.

[Deblano]

Too late.

The Democrats are so incompetent, morally bankrupt, and lacking of vision that we are becoming a one-party state ruled by the Republicans as the Democrats keep losing record numbers of seats.

wanna bet that "trend" will be kind of...eh.... stopped 2018, outside of the senate?

I hope.

I love the poorly educated

It's certainly true that Democrats come across as condescending and holier-than-thou to a lot of people, and should find a way to push back against this perception. That's not to say that Republicans don't have contempt for Democratic voters, though.

This.

The urban voters are condescending towards rural voters AND the rural voters are condescending towards urban voters.

The urban-rural divide is a two edged sword.

You can accept that the Democrats are not the most sympathetic towards rural WWC voters while also realizing that the rural WWC voters have not been the shining beacon of tolerance towards urban voters who are just trying to make a living.

Neither side will give an inch to the "bastards" on the other side. End of discussion.

I have a .....crazy...proposal:

The US party-duopoly ensures, that literally EVERYONE is all the time pissed at both parties, even while to a different degree or for different reasons.

[Deblano]

The US needs proportional representation(with electorate seats too and a 5% threshold to get seats)

The donors and status quo people in Washington will never allow that.

We are condemned to have a s*** electoral system until our nation finally collapses.

I would definitely support something like a multiparty system with IRV.
