Kind of difficult when in Red States Democrats have very little representation in the state government. The ONLY thing that saves Pennsylvania from that fate is we often elect a Democratic Governor, which drives the Republican state legislature crazy! They are doing their best to tamper with our system of elections, but so far, Governor Wolf has vetoed anything they’ve thrown at him. Of course now they want to make it a ballot issue, which is time consuming and probably wouldn’t pass in a statewide referendum.

@Barnie2years the GOP has been successfully chipping away at Democracy for most of my adult life. I’m glad that I don’t have many years left, because one of their tactics, ruining public education, is wildly successful and the country is full of morons who believe the lies. I have little confidence they can be stopped.

@MsKathleen unfortunately the majority are not at the end of our lives and have this to fear for our future

@Sydland you have my sympathy. I feel I have done just about all I can to prevent the eventuality, but I am done trying. At best, humans probably have 50 more years before essential extinction, so you are closer to the end than you think.

@MsKathleen That’s just incredibly selfish. Don’t need your sympathy.
