Amen to that. And you're right about CA not always picking a Democrat. This time October polls had HRC on 54% to Trump's 28%. With all counting done, she got 61% while he got 31.5% which isn't consistent with the suggestion that CA Republicans might not bother to vote because it made no difference. 4.4M got off their proverbial and voted Republican. Thank you.
BTW, some light reading for you:

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
