which is why we must be very suspicious of DUers with negative attitudes trying to discourage us claiming both parties are the same, no point voting, it's all gerrymandered, etc. State legislatures draw the district lines and can fix the gerrymandering.

Local elections can prepare liberal Democratic candidates for higher office who understand their local constituents and issues.

Every little election counts.
