Political moderates make up the majority of America. You can look at public opinion polling on just about any issue, the right wing view usually comes out on the losing end.

Default roles reversed

Wouldn't it be liberal to allow people to have guns drugs drink you know liberty to do what you want when you want where you want. And isn't conservative meaning hard nosed rules you must follow no killing no guns no drugs go to church prim proper crap. It's seems to me those 2 have been blended and have no real identity anymore. Both sides to becoming more and more restrictive to many laws that infringe on personal choice. I hate both parties.

Obama won 54% of the vote in Oregon in 2012:

Yeah, you just need to exclude the areas where most of the people live and the country is right wing!

Just like if you exclude all the people who play the lottery and lose...you can get a 100% chance to win it in your own head.

That would solve the problem for the far right, not allowing anyone living in a city to be allowed to vote.

I wish that every single liberal person currently living in the country would all move to one state - say California for sake of argument. All conservatives and independents would move out of the state. Liberals could have the entire state and create their own utopia. Smoke whatever they want, eat naked in restaurants, cohabitate in whatever groups or collections of individuals they want to cohabitate with, give whatever rights they want to their citizens, do whatever they want in terms of government policies and allocation of their funds.

They could have it all - the entire beautiful state. Go nuts. And leave the rest of us the hell alone.
