We can win on issues, but the Democratic brand is toxic.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The lawsuit to overturn it literally writes itself... 

In the before times, yes.

Win how? You just said voting for "Democratic" ideas does nothing.

Maybe stop denigrating voters you want to vote with you?

How's that going to fix "I'm not sure what the point of voting is anymore.  Even if we win a vote it just gets overturned by Republicans"?

If we could elect Democrats to statewide office, or in the legislature we wouldn't have this problem.

We used to do pretty well in this state.

Last time Ds won the legislature was 1999...

Yeah, I'm 43, I remember.  Hell, I worked for the last guy to win as a Democrat for governor.

"One party lies to me and then betrays me, and the other just despises me and believes I'm not worthy of what little I have."
I think the "disadvantaged" aspect is a big part of this.  Some people are labeled "disadvantaged" or "marginalized" and thus are worthy of sympathy, and others are not and worthy of only scorn.  While those people may actually be disadvantaged but they are not disadvantaged in the correct sense.  They have the wrong identity.
