8. Voters could do better, but its hard to blame us when most of us want democrats.

If it weren’t for all the voting suppression and disenfranchisement and gerrymandering and the electoral college and voting machines and polling place shenanigans and other crap, democrats would be crushing it these days.

It’s easy to say more people should vote, and of course they should, but we’d already be winning in a remotely fair contest already.

So while the *solution* might be we the voters, the *problem* is really other factors.
