4. These percentages are why we continue to get what we get or don't get.

All Democrats need to get out and vote if they want to get the hell out of this mess. They need to vote in every state and federal election for the next 30 years.

Until this happens we will keep getting moderate changes because the status quo will stick around with these levels of turnout.
If we don't get super majorities in both the senate and the house and keep them no one is going to see the changes that need to be made.

I can't stress enough how mad I get at voters who don't bother. It only takes a few hours to research local ballot candidates and measures. I think that isn't asking a lot in order to help shape our democracy.
