Why live here? I love my home-state. Sure there are some narrow-minded folks who roam around NC in a Jesse Helms fog. But for the most part the North Carolinians I come across are reasonable minded individuals.

Roy Cooper ended up winning the election over McCrory by 10,000 votes-- I was proud my vote actually made a difference in the governor/attorney general's races. Gerrymandered districts have destroyed NC politics-- These districts were drawn out by rural lawmakers like Phil Berger and Tim Moore. Democrats can beat these weasels if they run well respected individuals to run against those backwoods' swine. Let's not forget the Art Pope money that has bought these seats- You can also throw the Koch brother's into that NCGOP cesspool. You're right about this being an 'uphill battle'. NC Dems need to start using the same tactics Dallas Woodhouse and the other NCGOP demons use during elections.

Great. Another example of bad protoplasm from NC. mnhtnbb Mar 2017 #1
