From the Washington Post, “For the first time in history, there are more registered independents in the United States than there are registered Republicans. … New data from Ballot Access News, which tracks registrations in the 31 states that require voters to register by party, shows that independents account for 29.09 percent of voters in them, compared with 28.87 percent for Republicans. As recently as 2004, Republicans outpaced independents by nearly 10 percentage points. There are still way more registered Democrats; 39.66 percent of voters are registered with that party. [Emphasis added.] … Louisiana, for example, has more than 300,000 more registered Democrats (1,216,000) than registered Republicans (905,000). Blue states are also more likely to have party registration than red states.” If I’ve said it once, then I’ve said 100 thousand f***ing times before: America is a tyranny of the minority! And as I have said before if every person voted according to their registration and Independents split their votes, then Democrats would always win! But no! Whereas RepubliKKKlans never miss an opportunity to vote, Democrats can’t be bothered more often than not because this is stupid, apathetic America! We just let the minority dictate policy, laws, and values for the majority. And we just take it! People deserve the democracy they get when they just can’t be bothered to care or participate. Welcome to stupid Ameirca!
