that's a bad attitude. You need to punish the ones that don't and reward the ones that do. It's the people that talk like you do that gave us Steve King, Mitch McConnel, Paul Ryan and Donald Trump, the most despicable and corrupt political class this country has ever had.

Nonsense. Those people were elected by the majority of voters, as weighted by our system (for better or for worse), not because of voter apathy.

This is untrue. Voter participation is among the worst in most Conservative, and especially Southern states. So the root cause for why Republicans get voted repeatedly is also voter apathy or the inability for non-white voters to vote easily too. These choices don't reflect the will of the majority in many instances.
