Electing a president will never be enough. To truly change America, progressives must start winning down-ballot races—and soon

Good article.
Maybe "states rights" could start taking on new meanings.

This article suggests the problem is that poor whites aren't voting.

Hmmm, Michael's says it's that minorities aren't voting. Between the 2, maybe we've got a bigger problem?

Bingo! Ding Ding Ding.
If Sanders and Grayson don't win the nominations, who will I vote for? There will be only Republicans on the down ballot. I won't vote for Patrick Murphy because his voting record is just like Jolly's. Murphy used to be a Republican. There will be a few with D's behind their name but they have been put on the ballot by Republican organizations so I can't vote against the Republican incumbent. In Florida if there is no Democrat in a race, then the Republicans that are running in the primary is put also on the Democratic ballot so we can vote on who will be in office. You should see some of the tea baggers that can show up on the Democratic ballot so we end up being disenfranchised. Hillary probably won't need my vote because of the idiot that will be the Republican nomination.
The only Democratic dude I know is a real Democrat is the guy who holds a state senate seat from Ebor City. I am in the mile wide snake that goes all the way from Tampa to Sarasota to catch all the minorities to put in one sink. He don't need my vote because he usually wins with 80% of the vote. The court has not fixed that yet.
Why should I drive to the county line to stand in line for an hour to vote and hold my nose? They closed my local voting place and moved it to the edge of the county. I will have no one to vote for and will only go through the motion.
Yes the State Democratic Party has a problem and so does the DNC. Debbie WS is a member of both.

Well, to be specific, it says that very poor whites aren't voting. Working class white people one rung up are voting Republican. That jives with these numbers: http://www.people-press.org/2015/04/07/2014-party-identification-detaile.... The poorest white voters lean Democratic, but those who make at least $30K lean Republican.
