I highly doubt the left will do anything uncivil. How can they win back the country? Is it too late?

    People don’t vote because they see the system is rigged so the popular vote isn’t a great standard to go by either, it’s a product of the system as well

    If you had 100% turnout the popular vote would be very different.

      My area is such a strong republican district that my vote is functionally irrelevant aside from the president. Hell, they didn’t even bother with democrat candidates on a local level.

        If that were me I would run as an independent, people love that on a local level. “I’m putting town/county first!” And say I’m going to fix the roads people LOVE talking about how bad the roads are when it comes to local politics.
