6. I think it's more a matter of gerrymandering and the extreme polarization of the parties

Repukes are getting more and more far-right extremist to the point of being openly hostile to the Constitution and democracy whereas Democrats are becoming increasingly more progressive to the point of shrinking the tent and risking pushing out SCEP (socially conservative economic progressive) voters. Neither party is trying to reach out to the middle anymore IMO--and they wonder why turnout has plummeted.

Another reason is the decades-long repig crime wave with seemingly no end in sight: the voter suppression, voter intimidation, collusion with the MSM, etc. that has gone unnoticed, let alone unpunished. It's high time we repeatedly expose until we're blue in the face the pervasive repunk crime wave that has been permeated every institution of this country until the media finally grows a spine and reports it as the scandal it is instead of ignoring it as if there were nothing wrong with it.
