[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4638672, member: 24302"] Why not? Canada almost broke up but narrowly survived Quebec's vote whether to secede. You seem unaware that Democrats completely controlled Congress for 40 years. They lost control because they started pushing for things large numbers of Americans disagreed with. Now you're saying it's unfair that your side isn't in control. Get control by getting out the vote. If your policies don't motivate enough people to vote for your party that's on you. And pay attention to what's going on. There are enough Democrats moving into Texas to seriously change that state's voting patterns soon. A Republican winning the presidency already has to overcome the electoral votes of California, New York, and Illinois. Throw in Texas and Republicans may never win. You say it's unfair that the majority doesn't control policy. Presidential elections come down to a handful of swing states. Convince those people that your policies are better. Trump won in states that had voted Democratic for decades. But enough of their voters felt they weren't being well served by their own party so they gave Trump a chance. Elections have consequences. If you only want one party rule are you going to throw out the Constitution? Elections? And please don't come back at me with Republicans don't believe this or that, blah blah blah. That's intellectually lazy. Instead of always attacking Republicans you need to examine what works to get votes. Bill Clinton did. Most people don't want extremes. Somewhere in the middle wins elections. [/QUOTE]
