in demographics that no amount of gerrymandering and vote theft can stop forever. Joy Reid this morning on her show said that republicans recognize this and that in response, their plan is to leave to those who will inherit the emerging new America a hollowed out, bankrupt shell. Explains all of the looting of the nation's resources, emptying the Treasury, and driving up the national debt. She was quoting someone else; sorry, I didn't catch the reference but the gist of it sure sounds plausible to me. Evil bastards.

The solution is for the young to vote now, as if their lives depend on it, because they do.
