Not to respond for Bels or anything.

I don't believe that the issue, unlike what we always here in today's intra polarized environment, is D vs. R. A Democrat is just as able to be beholden to corporations or private donors. Democrats are just as culpable in bogus gerrymandering.

We'll be good when more (read:all) of the population has equal access to participate in the electoral system, and when the elected officials are beholden to their constituents, rather than private corporations.
