Or courts finding gerrymandered districts unconstitutional.

(13,108 posts)4. Our politicians have made it abundantly clear they are not interested in democracy.
They have invaded countries around the world to stop democracy.
They have given complete power to corporations in our country to stop democracy.
They have started wars on foreign soil to stop democracy in the name of U.S. corporations.
This country does not believe in Liberty, Justice, or Democracy.
This countries government believes in world dominance, unregulated capitalism, corporate control, and pandering
to evangelicals.
