    No, I’m sticking with most. We’re just gerrymandered enough that the smaller group can exert an outsized influence over the rest of us.

      I like your optimism but unfortunately cannot share it. Too many IRL experiences to convince me that sane people are anything but a 30% minority nationwide.

        I’ve had those experiences too, but the data doesn’t support that conclusion. Far from being the “silent majority,” they’re actually a very loud minority. If our elections were truly fair, they’d never have been given the time of day.
