The issue is that americans vote on identity. They don’t vote about policies.
Look at Arkansas.
A freaking Nuclear Engineer from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) came up a solid plan to improve Arkansas. He visited all 75 counties.

this is exactly why i don’t feel like there is anything i can do. the problem is entirely out of anyone’s hands. it’s all cancer.

True sheep.
No-one hates democracy like a Republican.
The leopards feast on face.
