7. It is complicated. You know why?

Because even in the smallest districts, there are people who neither vote for nor deserve to be left under the type of rule these right wingers wish to install, and have in many states. MS denied 90% of federal poverty relief funds to their citizens who applied and qualified for it, but didn't deny use of those funds to Brett Favre to build a volleyball facility; TN is trying to deny federal funds to HIV/AIDS patients, and shit like this goes on in other states, as well, with the right wingers trying to make life unlivable for so many of their constituents.

The reason why it's complicated is that no area of this country is a political monolith, but much of it is gerrymandered and enough voting suppression going on that they're rigged to seem that way.

So, people who want to brush off those who don't subscribe to these idiots and vote against then every single time, don't deserve the kind of brush off you suggest.
