    Ah, yeah, I am a leftist deep in neo-nazi territory (South Dakota.)

    So once again it feels like American democracy doesn’t exist outside of swing states. All the solid red and blue states are effectively 1 party systems.

      Well it’s not completely hopeless. One of the primary things keeping those places as Republican as they are is young non-voters. South Dakota is not about to flip parties, but it could improve greatly if people didn’t give up and still voted, especially in off year elections when a lot of Dems stay home.
