“We all know that election reform takes time. That's because those who have benefited from the system are the ones who fight hardest to preserve it. So if we're going to succeed, we need an independent coalition of citizens who believe in reform, who believe that our election laws should treat every voter equally, who believe that low levels of competition and participation are not healthy for democracy.

The more history and commitment that develop in the couple, the more the abuser comes to think of his partner as a prized object. Possessiveness is at the core of the abuser's mindset, the spring from which all the other streams spout; on some level he feels that he owns you and therefore has the right to treat you as he sees fit.” ThinkingFeelsReasonLevelsObjectsSeriousCoupleFitSpringCommitmentTreatsAbuseMindsetPartnersCoreReason WhyStreamsOwnershipAbusersPossessiveness Author:Lundy Bancroft
