Gerrymandering an existential threat to democracy

 The correct response to a corrupt action should never ever be to copy the corrupted action, The correct response to a corrupt action is to rectify the corrupt action. Democrats have fought with imitation of the Republicans for too long and this is a practice they must stop. if people are to take them seriously as a political party. We need to be less reactionary; We need to be acting every moment. We need to be showing up regardless of the election year. Which is why we should invest in national redistricting laws that are neutral in nature. Because well yes States have the right to determine how elections are run, They do not have a right to determine how to disenfranchise people 401 political party or the other, Freedom of political affiliation to me is similar to freedom of religion and that it gives you the choice, The Liberty and the freedom of picking your party or not.

Gerrymandering not the correct path for America!

the newest trend emerging, gerrymandering a state. Again they are limiting your freedom of choice and choosing which side gets to win, they are they're essentially eliminating freedom of choice.

This report explores how shared donors, particularly wealthy individuals and corporate PACs, contribute to both Third Way-aligned Democrats and Heritage Foundation-backed Republicans.
