be casting votes FOR Republican policies, and yet, that is what happens. A total revolt against their policies is what is needed and it just doesn't happen. See what happened this past week with the TPP. If 13 Dems had listened to Warren, Repubs would not have had enough votes.

But they always do, just enough to get their rotten ideas passed. Which makes it obvious by now, that as many people have said, the 'game is rigged'. Obviously politicians are not worried about what the people think, those 13 KNEW their base would be angry but it didn't matter.

The President has said a couple of occasions now that he is 'willing to go against my ow party' to pass stuff he KNOWS the people who elected them, do not want.

If things are going to change, the voters have to change their tactics also.

So long as we continue voting for the lesser evil, which they KNOW we will, they will keep on voting WITH the greater evil. And that means new tactics have to be found.
