That takes work, an honest look at reality, accepting truths, and even more honest discussion. Just about none of these things have been in abundance in that court for years, as it’s easier to act as puppet demagogues collecting money and fronting for lobbyists, which themselves may not agree on things, and don’t feel…

The hysteria on the side of the left is showing that this is actually going to work. — Claudia Tenney (R-NY)

State races matter. Voter suppression takes place at that level, as does gerrymandering. Two thirds of states have Republican heads, and about that many have Republican control over voter rolls, and districting. And we’re heading into the 2020 census, to further lay in the foundations for voting registrations and…

It seems unlikely to even create a boom, though, anywhere but segments of the stock market.

I mean, could one replace #metoo with the Civil Rights Movement, or BLM, or point to a similar situation where consensus agreed on caring about fatigue, and seeing the overall situation improve faster or slower? I think it takes time to bring out all the context, so that society can theoretically have an attempt at a…

Also, individual stories can provide perspective when the larger trend has already been established. That may have been an improper assumption on the part of the author, relative to audience.

Why won’t they delay?

Agreed, though it’s just as useful to have a single in-depth example to add context to a portion of the broader reports (yes, a few hundred reports doesn’t necessarily mean much, a starting point of 0.01% of the voter turnout). Articles like that need a broader context, that require more resources than may be…
