Esquire Magazine and NBC News have produced a study that states what this blog has known for years. Americans don’t neatly fit into two political parties and the new political center outweighs a combination of the far left liberals and far right conservatives.
They also discovered that over a million more people voted for Democrats for congress but the gerrymandering of congressional districts gives elections to the GOP. On MSNBC’s Morning Joe today, someone said that politicians are selecting their voters (with redistricting) rather than voters selecting their politicians. Congress’s approval rating is below 10% but 90% of incumbents get reelected.
This blog has always supported groups and candidates who are about dialog and solutions rather than those who wanted to divide people for their own personal gains. The videos and articles relating to this new study will surprise you and are worth watching.
