And that's that!

I'm going to expand on this a bit later on, as well as counter some of the clunclusions one might draw from it regarding the kinds of candidates the Democrats should be nominating, but, in the meantime, please enjoy this very succint, well-written piece explaning Why the Republicans will never win another National Election.

Now about those videos I referenced...  IMHO Hall of Famer, CGP Grey has put together a series of excellent videos on various electoral systems.  These are critical of the one we use, and offer alternatives that would make for more representative voting, avoid gerrymandering and encourage a wider array of Political Parties. I highly recommend watching all of them, as they are all really well done. But if you don't have the time or patience for that, please be sure to at least watch the FIRST one, especially if you think Bernie Sanders should run as Independent, or a strong 3rd Party should be formed.
