You're right. I always refer to the people who vote in regimes like the ones under which you live as "the voting majority of %$@$$@ers" instead so that good people like you are excluded.
I live in MD and to say I have any sort of effective representation in our state government here would be a complete and total lie as well.
Frustrating as heck, ain’t it. And yet, I live in a “red” area. However in the last 10 years, we had an influx of blue city people moving in.
