        True, they need to be engaged so we can get people such as yourself out of office.

        Oh the irony. Wasn’t it you who Putin wined & dined? You know, Vlad Putin, the guy who is actively engaged in 25 ways to destroy our democracy? I guess that dark Russia money laundered through the NRA is clouding your memory. Too bad this is true. @argusleader @keloland

        “The importance of Democracy” John?? REALLY? Coming from the traitor who spent this past Independence Day in RUSSIA 🇷🇺, I’d say that these students know more about our Democracy than you do! You’re a total hypocrite. 🇺🇸

        I hope they will learn to distinguish between conservative and progressive ideologies and the moral principles on which these world-views are based. There's room for all, for sure, but it is essential to understand the difference re individual v social responsibility. And VOTE !

        Students, if interested in modern politics, please listen to George Lakoff's FrameLab podcasts re 'how Republicans think' AND 'how Democrats think'. You won't regret the couple of hours you spend on this. lmk what you think!

        Associated Press found the efficiency gap was widest in SD. 40% of votes went to Democratic candidates but they only got 14% of seats.https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/politics/2017/06/28/ap-analysis-gerrymandering-factor-south-dakota-democrats-woes/428131001/ …

        Your party is certainly not promoting democracy. It seems you must be trying to brainwash these students into believing in democracy.

        Did you also explain to them why it's bad for your U.S. Senator to violate his Oath of Ofiice in support of the CRIMINALITY of this President!

        Did you also tell them your connection to Cambridge Analytical and why you went to Russia on the 4th of July? Your time is coming to an end.
