15. I'm not blaming Democrats

I don't know how you projected that idea but it's not what I wrote.

Red states have too much power when compared to their populations. It doesn't matter if one votes for a Democratic candidate in Kentucky, (or Alabama, Mississippi, etc.). The stranglehold that Republicans have over their gerrymandered districts results in a Republican dominated Senate and too many votes in the Electoral College, again because of the imbalance of populations between Red and Blue states.

Perhaps one day, that death-grip will be relaxed. In the meanwhile, however, those states and districts that send these ignorant, greedy Luddites to D.C. and state governments will continue to reap my scorn.

By the way, I've been a registered Democrat since 1976. I've voted in nearly every election I could and only twice have I voted for a Republican, (once for a excellent local judge who was unopposed and once for a local mayor (first selectman, actually) who was really progressive. I mention these things because I do not blame Democrats except when they don't vote.
