Thanks to you Marie, I finally understand how gerrymandering works. Thank you for responding to me on the last article and answering my questions.

This should absolutely be illegal to do. People will not be represented anymore. It's about control but they are supposed to work for us! I just can't believe that no one is stopping this entire shit show of a government. It's a Kakistocracy!!!

I'm glad this helped. I think it is hard to grasp because those of us with any moral compass would never have considered it as an option.

This is the last grasp of the oligarchy - and if they win, it could well be the end of democracy - the solution: vote. Vote Dem. Flip the seats. Turn the fuck out.

Perhaps it would be better to divide up the USA in ablue country and a red one after all ? I have no idea how else the trenches can be closed again.

I think the vote would look very different if there were honest, fair elections.

Yes, of course. My problem is, I don't know whether the fully established dictatorship can ever be voted out again.

They've played the long game, that's for sure. And they called us alarmists
