I've given up believing there's enough that can move the needle, because even if they all voted for decades they're crammed into high population states and districts so their power is diluted to ineffectiveness.

Unless we get a mass migration to low population states of lefties this is going to be how our politics works.

Of course when I bring this up the reaction is "But there's nothing to do there!"

The Nader vote showed this is significant. Obama had a super majority. This can be done.

I'm not gonna hold my breath. America is too consistently disappointing.
