My disdain for the GOP goes back to Reagan, but it's different in the sense that we are now seeing increasing legitimization of the reduction if not outright elimination of the democratic process and that just so happens to be via the side of the political coin that is able to win despite only having the minority of support because the majority is stupid and so on and so forth.

That's how I see it.  So even accepting that we need to have a set of rules where the minority can rule, the fact that the minority is choosing to go down the path is it is the issue.  Would I feel different if someone said that votes for Gary Johnson counted as 100,000 votes for Hillary or Trump?  Damn right, but that ain't so, so I don't.

So yea, I'm in the minority that is too minor to get those sweet minority benefits.  Ouch.

Except for the Libertarian part, I could have wrote that. And I respect the old school Libertarians (before they were co-oped by the neo-conservatives and became "Libertarian Lite").
