9. Sir, popular polls that have been taken over and over, year after year,
show that the overwhelming majority (depending on the issue the numbers are in the 65%+ range) support the "backbone positions" of the DNC (i.e. reproductive rights, social programs, civil rights, health-care access for all, progressive taxation, etc.). BTW, these are not my positions, but those purported to be the Democratic Parties positions.

If we have ~300,000,000 million citizens in this country then we subtract the under-aged, say 50,000,000, that leaves ~250,000,000 million potential voters. We currently have about 100,000,000 registered, leaving 150,000,000 million unregistered potential voters. Of the 100 million, a little more or less than half will vote in this mid-term, so 16% of the population is deciding that we should all become indentured servants to our corporate masters, and is the principle reason Re:puke:s try so very hard to discourage voters, they know their crackpot notions of social rule are just that and no thinking person would ever advocate them.
