TheVipaGTS 12/23/19 12:50:52 PM #4:	until voters get smarter nothing will change. that's why its troubling when people say "ugh you guys need to stop with the political talks you'll feel so much better if you just forget about it all!"....Yes, it can be frustrating and discussions can get heated, but "forgetting it" and not thinking about it is exactly what keeps this going...because those same people still tend to vote, and if they're not informed theyll just vote for the person with the most recognizable name on their "team"...now obviously there are some too stuck in their ways to change. they think they know it all and will always vote in the Mitch McConnel's of politics just because, but i feel like even that group is getting smaller and there is a shift taking place....just don't expect to happen anytime soon.
