(9,126 posts)That's how we got George W. Our country is facing very serious problems. It's time we start actually talking about them and finding solutions, not Keeping Up with the Kardashians. It's time to present a VISION of where the country needs to go, then communicating it effectively. If we keep letting Fox News run the US, we are going to slip further into a distopia.
Everyone is so afraid of Republicans because they are a loud minority (as we are witnessing on this very board). They are the same 23%ers that approved of Bush. They said a black man named Barack Hussein Obama, a Kenyan Muslim Socialist couldn't win. We don't need to be afraid anymore.
Here is a post I wrote that shows that it is almost statistically impossible for a Republican to win a national presidential election without major election tampering or a Reagan-style October surprise. The demographics have completely changed.

We don't need to be afraid anymore. The idea that this is a center-right country has been disproven with every poll. The fact that Republicans win is due to gerrymandering and lack of voter turnout. That's what we have to work on.
