George Washington warned us.

"However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."

You're describing the modern Democratic party perfectly .

@JSul3 Nothing of the sort is happening ,but I'll tell you what is happening in Virginia: which party proposes replacing the judges when the courts come to a decision that they don't agree with ?I don't think you need a hint to know who it is .

You're either very blind or ill informed. When states decide to redraw their district maps in an election year, in order to remove districts that the opposition party controls, so they can have total control of the state legislatures, that should be illegal and it certainly isn't ethical. These states are targeting minority districts, and diluting the power of their vote and representation.
You can't deny that.

Why did the Trump Cult in Congress refuse to vote in a bill that would end gerrymandering?

@JSul3 I'm not the one who must be blind .It is obvious that is exactly what the Democrats were doing when they drew that map in Virginia.I believe it gave them a what ,10 - 1 advantage come election day ?Plus ,the legislature didn't use the correct legal process when pushing through the map.The state courts were right to strike it down ; I was pleasantly surprised at their common sense and fairness .As far as the Supreme Courts ruling in the voting rights act ,it does absolutely nothing to " keep black people from voting "; on the contrary ,it simply makes it illegal to draw up a voting district based solely it mainly on race .At that means ANY race - black ,white ,Hispanic ,etc .And that's as it should be .And I noticed that you haven't directly commented on the idea floated about replacing the State court judges .Yes ,they are floating the idea around .
Lincoln had a rather apt quote for the times as well. "A house divided against itself cannot stand" This followed on from the earlier (1838) "If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher"
On the basis of the knowledge of these two men alone, no other nation needs to stand against America. Just stand back and watch America destroy itself. And I have no doubt that is exactly what we are seeing.😷
