17. Wisconsin has always been sane.
Tue Apr 3, 2018, 10:08 PM
Apr 2018

But when voters on the Left choose not to vote, like in 2010 when the state flipped from Democratic control to Republican control, electing Walker and defeating Feingold, bad things happen. What is not sane is abdicating our duty to vote and leaving it to the Republicans who will eagerly fill that void.
