There was a time that I was young and dumb and I used to believe that crap but it's been over 40 years now and every single election has been "the most important election of my lifetime" yet none of them seem to have changed anything..

I'm not saying that nothing has changed in the last 40 years but I don't believe it was elections that changed it.

Think it was President Johnson who said to someone about the voting Rights act "that's a darn good law you got there now go back to your district and make me support it."

Every good thing that's happened in the last 40 years was because we forced them to, not because we elected them to and then they wanted to do it.
