Your way off base here, I'm an independent v**er not registered with any party and have v**ed republican many times in the past. Reagan, Bush1, Bush2 and several Al. senators and congressmen and Governor but since Bush 2 there has only been far right republicans on the ticket so I've v**ed left. The v**e is a private matter which each individual has a right to v**e for whoever they think will be better for them and their family. Just because someone v**ed left does not make them a bleed heart liberal and if you can't understand that, there's not much help for you.
The statement was 336 v**es for peoples rights not corporate rights and I stand with her on this, big Corporations are controlling the v**e and Citizens United allowed this to happen, period.

Strange many here will post comments and never answer any of the questions the original poster introduced. the question of what happens when gerrymandering picks your representative is one that much thought should be given because in many states NOW the people don't have a voice by v****g. Their v**e is taken by which party has the most money for advertisement. Many of the better choices are never heard because they don't have the money to be heard and this is a problem for Democracy, whichever party is buying the candidate.

Someone who mindlessly v**es for party does themselves or the country no favors. US e******ns are in grave danger, not from fraud, not from c***ting but from who has the money to get their side elected. I'm certain our founding fathers would find that buying v**es was not their intention. This country should not be run by millionaires and billionaires who have little to no knowledge of how regular people live, on both sides. But arguing, bickering and name calling will never get the people of this country in a better place.

I'm not saying that I agree with everything the Democrats have done. I never said that because as an Independent who v**es left they make me sick with some of their mess but if the other option means taking away peoples voices I will absolutely not do that.

I am staying distant to this thread to keep from trying to dominate the conversation as I'd like to hear other peoples reasonings. So far I haven't seen anything posted that is the complete t***h except one detail. There may have been a counter offer but what is a counter offer if the counter offer isn't what the proposal required? Its a joke and was never going to work, so don't think that Trump is the one that was rejected on this. He was told what it would require to get the Democrats approval for a Wall and that would have been fricking huge. We would have a wall and then would come supervision of it and the only other way in from the Southern Border would have come through legal means and that he didn't want to do. Politics at all costs is k*****g us.

What are you going to do if this backfires and one side wins?

What will they do to all of us? Will we plunge into a world of complete corporate graft or will people ever have a voice in government ever again?

I h**e to tell you that Wyoming is falling in line with the rest of the northwest. Because of the low population our largest counties are turning Purple and may well turn completely blue in the very near future. We are trying to get the situation under control this year, but I fear if we don't Wyoming will follow Colorado, and the rest of the beautiful west. Liberals have found out how great the west is as to beauty and freedom and are hell bent on ruining it with their ideaology. Windmill generators, hunting restrictions, gun free zones, and more taxes. We have a plethora of Rinos in Cheyenne, Jacksonhole is completely lost to the uber rich liberals, and Laramie is UW and gone completely off the rails. Those three population centers hold the largest sway in state politics. It is an uphill battle but we are trying to open eyes around the state this e******n.

Most people believe the lefty accusations of r****m and bigotry. Why, these educated people on TV and newspapers certainly know more than we do. I don't want to be one of those Mikeyavelli types who prevent black people from working and v****g and getting educated. I don't want to h**e anyone just because they want to k**l me, I'm better than that, just like Brockobamma says. And, you know, he was the smartest person ever to graduate summa cum Lousy from Harvard. And the second man ever to be born of a Virgin in Hawaii.
I also listen to science. C***d and the climate are k*****g poor people and it's my fault. CRT adult evening classes will help those poor people live if I quit driving and farting.
I'm white, male, straight and well off. Despicable.
I'm learning to h**e myself. It's for the good of the planet.
The media and the government will like me then.
