The republicans are winning the redistricting wars as of today. However those are just lines on a map. They are not votes! So how do we defeat the lines on a map? We show up and vote with every one of our like minded democratic and independent voters. We overwhelm the election with votes. After all, no district can be won without votes. Too often our American elections are decided with about 50% of eligible voters showing up to vote, and by the way at 50% the republicans usually do better than democrats. The reasoning is that republicans are much more reliable to vote in every election. Thus their minority often becomes the majority of the vote.
We democrats and independents are less inclined to vote in every election. For myriad reasons but the outcome usually leaves us at the mercy of republican agendas. The only way we democrats and independents can regain majority representation is for us to understand that our vote, is the most important device we have in pursuing our happiness. When we democrats and independents vote with passion and determination we win big. With the redistricting now heavily favoring republicans we won't win as big as we could have but win we still will. If we vote, in record breaking numbers, the redistricting advantage republicans currently hold will easily be offset.
The republican party doesn't have many more voters rallied to their agenda this cycle. Which means we democrats, who will align with a massive amount of independents, are on course to break the 60% to 65% voter share threshold. At that level we win big not only at the federal level but at the state level everywhere. We see the republicans, their wealthy donors, and their aligned public office holders doing their part to give republicans advantages they don't deserve. So the only way we the people will ever get our democracy back is for us to vote. We need to vote, every one of us. This coming election is our last hope to save our democracy so what other reason to not vote can their be?
This blog will be an advocate for compassion, curiosity and human survival. When these elements of human nature are being denied, wholly, severally or individually, less than positive human traits are the outcome. It is my wish and hope that my reasonings on a variety of subjects will provide the readers of this blog with personal and public insights. My only motive is to provide a forum for advancing enlightenment. Carl Clark.
