But we're dealing with far more nefarious things than we were in 2006.

We have voter suppression off the chain now and I can only imagine how thuglicans will make it WORSE. We have GOP-led gerrymandering as well and in 2020 we'll be in a war we'll LOSE to thuglicans concerning redistricting, and Katy bar the door, if thuglcans EVER get enough State Houses (They're close to that NOW) to start meddling with our Constitution We have racism, sexism, homophobia getting worse. I mean there are people who'll keep voting in their own worse interests even if it means they will be under a bridge, losing health care, want to blow this country UP so to speak because they're that rotten, viscous, racist and evil. Plus if all those things weren't depressing enough, you have interference from a foreign government honing their interference into our election muscles right now, making sure that they can continue destroying what left of our democracy in this country.
