70% is the passing grade.

I had more questions than that on my citizenship test

are you at all aware of how this was used to exclude african americans from voting for around 80 years?

As a party we need to clearly fight for ballot access for everyone.

Low-information voters will NEVER even HEAR an opposing or differing viewpoint. They are afraid, stuck in their shells, and don't even realize that they are actually imprisoned.

Worse yet, "sources" like Fox warn their viewers to stay away from the "lying, liberal mainstream media," so not only do they remain ignorant, they are convinced that everything but Fox (and a few other right-wing outlets) is a lie, part of some "deep state" conspiracy that wants to take away their God, their guns, force them to all be gay, send their kids to liberal-indoctrination "government" schools, on and on.

The Republicans have manufactured a cult-- inside information is the only valid source, all others are trying to destroy them. Even though they have millions more in their war chest, even though they hold all three branches of government, even though they control some 33 states top-to-bottom, they are still prodded to act as if they are under siege, and the liberal hordes are at the gates with a battering ram. They all behave (and lash out) as if cornered and about to be snuffed out.

As long as they allow themselves to remain isolated from the contemporary world around them, and are even PROUD of that isolation, they will remain xenophobic, belligerent, and problematic.

"Speak for yourself" more than once. I stand by my assertion. I said the Fucking Moron would win the moment I saw him on the gold escalator and the reason was "Americans are stupid". Gee, who won? The average first grader understands civics and our govt as much as the average American adult. They certainly have more common sense. I taught first grade for over 15 years and I may be exaggerating a little but not too much.

Hillary got 3 million more votes and the repukes manipulated the antiquated electoral college sytem, along with vote flipping and suppression in 3 key states

but the GOP crooks are defying the courts decision! I wish they would get rid of the Electoral College and go with the popular vote. Al Gore and Robert Reich explained how a better system could work when I heard them speak about a year ago.

ie the 'basket of deplorables' line was a good strategy, one she and her team should've doubled down on.

Voters need to be challenged and shaken up sometimes, Dems don't seem to get this.

Putting aside Russia/Comey/FBI meddling for a second - Trump got millions of votes across the country when it should've been a '64 style landslide loss for the GOP.

The reason is voters, ultimately, who voted for the most unqualified individual to ever hold the office.

and his supporters saying and doing bigoted shit which was ALL OVER THE PLACE then and now.

just point out those examples.

i remember one guy actually did say it when they were speaking about Trump's "very fine people" and some idiot decided to attack hillary. and one guy just said "i agree that kkk, white supremacy etc is deplorable".

black man or even a white woman who had done the things trump did. they make excuses for trump such as "he says what he means" but would they make the same excuse for a non white man who did the same shit ?

(although i guess racist itself includes bieng dysfunctional)
