I admit I continue to be astonished by this sentiment, which is basically expressed in the narrative of "it's the fault of democratic voters for not voting in midterms that Republicans are in charge." I mean, yah, okay, Dem voters are less likely to vote in midterms. They're younger and more mobile. Vote, stupid voters, vote! I agree. But there are people who are paid lots of money, and people who raise lots of money, in order to get people to vote. It's their job to get all of those sitting on their ass to vote.
Our leaders are perfect! It's the people who have failed them...
Um, ok.
