      Arguing that wanting change in pres. election years - with highest stakes - is hypocritical, is arguing that political involvement is stupid

      Of course, that problem exists bc Democrats don't vote for the state legislature in "off-year" elections https://twitter.com/a_man_in_black/status/698264976230723584 …

      Take @arthur_affect's home state for example, Republicans have controlled the state legislature for almost all of the past 20 years

      The only way to fix that is a long uphill fight, often as not far from where you actually live. Or donating money.

      If you don't do that, do you not get to complain when your Congressional election districts are gerrymandered to shit?

      You have to cut off your political investment somewhere, unless you are independently wealthy or a career politician.

          You don't get to complain unless you vote in the midterms. And push against the state leg. And at the local level.https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/698276294262263808 …

          Is consistent involvement in local politics really too much to ask? Conservatives manage it, many of them poor https://twitter.com/a_man_in_black/status/698274959957716992 …

          I'm not arguing over who "has the right to complain". I'm saying conservatives manage to actually do it @a_man_in_black
