No idea why you're getting down votes.

Or, and here's a wild idea, you can vote in the coming election. The entire House and a third of the Senate changes hands every two years. The GOPs vote in every single election. That's the absolute least we should be doing. Pushing for more Squad members starts in your town.

So, if voting doesn't matter, why is the GOP working so hard to deny people the right to vote?

Politicians do what it takes to get elected. Period.

What part of that confuses you?

Nelson Rockefeller was one of the richest men in America. He thought he was a shoo-in to be the GOP candidate in 1968. Nixon had no big backers and was seen as a loser by the media.

Except Nixon had spent all his time after his California Sneate race loss working 24/7 for every GOP candidate he could find. He made speeches, raised money, helped organize, and when he went into the 1968 convention, he ran rings around what the establishment wanted.

Money is huge in politics, but organization can beat it.

That's the 1956 GOP Party Platform.

If people show up and do the job, things will change.

Back in the 1970s, The Moral Majority took over the GOP by voting. They would show up at every local GOP club at every event. If 20 people had shown up the last time they picked the new dog catcher, the MMs would show up with fifty people. They didn't have a lot of money or connections yet, but they had people showing up all the time. Need someone to pass out petitions? MMs were there. Drive folks to the polls? Meanwhile, the Dems had counted on the Unions to do those jobs. That's why the GOP hated the Unions and did everything to dismantle them.

No one is going to hand you power.

The Venture Brothers is hilarious.

Loved the first volume of a new fantasy series. Wait eagerly for Volume II. Nope out halfway through because it stinks.

Babylon 5 had the right idea. Do an animated version; you can keep all the original actors and have much wilder special effects

You got me, partner. There was one. And you're right, that's a great cast.

But do yourself a favor and see 'Little Big Man.'
