    Generally, the more people vote, the more republicans lose. “Get out the vote” is an anti-republican message in effect, which republicans know and it’s why they try to stop people from voting.

    Instead of, you know, being electable.

          Which, again, in a sane world, is really just one choice. This, quite frankly, is the only real bullet in the “both sides are the same” argument.

          I’m not saying Harris isn’t qualified; she clearly is.

          What I’m saying is that the Republicans have had years of making their base into good little soldiers that will vote R simply because they aren’t D.

          These mouth breathers only see the letter after the name. I can’t tell you the number of times that voters came up to me when I was a poll worker and ask me who the “Republicans” were in a local election where the candidates can’t have party affiliations.

          Why yes, these were often elderly voters. What made you guess that?
