Usually when you grow into adulthood and you have to pay taxes, you arnt as left leaning. You may not be a full blooded republican but you sure as hell are not a liberal
Not true. If you look on our own CD Retirement Forum there was a long thread about this. People did NOT become conservative as they got older. For one thing, people who care about the country always care about the country and they are not just voting for their own selfish selves. Older people are just as liberal as they always were.

So Republicans don't care about America and are selfish? Got it. It is mindboggling to me how you dems can't see it, this thread is flesh and blood proof.
Nobody is stopping you from paying the IRS extra or donating XXX amount of your income to whatever cause. None of us are stopping you from sponsoring an illegal family, either. Just use your own house and resources.
There are examples all over of statewide elections where 60% of the votes cast were democratic, their representation turned out to be maybe 60 or 70% Republican. This was because of gerrymandering. The real wishes of the people were thwarted because of districts drawn to favor Republicans. (I am giving some general numbers. It happened in many locations, which could be looked up, I imagine. I know that Wisconsin's statewide numbers in 2018 were like that. That is why they ended up with a Democratic Governor and Republican House/Senate.) If the results of 2016 and 2018 truly reflected how people voted, they would have been much different than they were. That is how Republicans cheat to win. There are many other examples.
I know that Democrats have also gerrymandered in a few states, but it is a MUCH more wide spread practice in red states. Personally, I think political gerrymandering should be eliminated, that neither side should do it. Of course, the Supreme Court has decided that political gerrymandering is constitutional. That doesn't mean it is right. I think the voters should pick their representatives, not the representatives pick their voters.
