You will like it this way until the tables turn and you are on the losing end of the redistricting battles. It will happen as it always does. Intelligent people would like gerrymandering to stop regardless of which party is doing it. That let's you out. |

Are you aware that we are a republic made up of 50 separate and distinct states. And that the electoral college helps keep it that way? The federal government operates in a 10 mile by 10 mile region named Washington DC. They have facilities in states at the invitation of the states and hold in trust and manage public lands in public territory within the borders of states.We are not a pure democracy where the tyranny of a majority would wreck havoc. |

I know exactly how it works and labeling us a democracy is untruthful. The majority does not rule here. Bills can be passed in the senate by senators representing fewer than 30% population. A democracy we ain't. |

There is not and never has been a true democracy, not even the Greek city states so you can burn down that straw man. |

Then quit whining about it. We are a representative Republic which has done quite well until the socialist have tried to change the system. |

Why don't you stop calling us a democracy when we are not? |
