"The success of a party means little except when the nation is using that party for a large and definite purpose," said Woodrow Wilson in his first inaugural. "No one can mistake the purpose for which the nation now seeks to use the Democratic Party."

: I personally don't think that we have reached the end of the road yet, but it is coming. The oligarchs will continue to dig us deeper.

And that mechanism that will ensure the states are represented in Congress is through the repeal of the 17th Amendment.
