Rural America has more voting power and is increasingly determining the election results. These Bible thumping, gun loving racist bigots are choosing our government for the rest of us who make up the majority.

How do we fix this situation? Why should my future, my children’s future or even the planet’s future be held hostage to these fucking morons?

Hey pundits!

Democrats won the popular vote tally in the Senate by 12% yesterday. (9 MILLION votes!)

Stop pretending Republican Senate pick-ups represent some kind of “will of the people.”

The whole problem is the Senate DOESN’T represent the will of the people.

The US has a progressive majority that's being held captive by the unrepresentative institutions we inherited.

Democrats will win the popular vote for the Senate tonight, but lose seats. It makes no sense to apportion political power by land mass, instead of by person. pic.twitter.com/zXCDBYohEs

Democrats received 12 million More votes in US Senate races on Tuesday than Republicans but still lost seats to the GOP.

Yes, 12 Million!

This was a BLUE Wave, no matter what anyone tells you.

The Minority rules in the Senate. This has to change!

It could be worse Cappy:

Politics in India is much rougher and much more corrupt that in the democracies of Europe and North America. Assassination is not uncommon: the revered Mahatma Gandhi in 1948, the Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1984, and the Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1991 were all murdered, although it has to be noted that these were not really political assassinations which happen more at local level. Communal, caste and regional tensions continue to haunt Indian politics, sometimes threatening its long-standing democratic and secular ethos. The language used by political candidates about each other is often vivid.

One key question will be the influence on the new government of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the vast conservative Hindu revivalist organisation where new Prime Minister Narendra Modi started his career as an activist. The RSS was heavily involved in the 2014 election and Modi and many other senior officials of the BJP, which is independent of the RSS though ideologically close, are still members of the organisation.

Recent years have seen the emergence of so-called RTI activists – tens of thousands of citizens, often poor, sometimes almost illiterate, frequently highly motivated – who use the Right To Information legislation of 2005 to promote transparency and attack corruption in public institutions. In the first five years of the legislation, over a million RTI requests were filed and so threatening to authority have some of the RTI activists become that a number of have been murdered.

Yes.

In India, because of Hindu nationalist rightwingers in power, people are getting murdered by BJP mobs just for buying or eating beef in some parts of Northern India.

Bigotry is global.  It’s worse when it’s condoned by the government of a country, such as the Trump administration.
