This Is How Democracies Die

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.

The 19th century is long gone. At the moment, gerrymandering heavily favors Republicans. Democrats are only "culpable" insofar as they have been unable to prevent it.  At least they are trying to do something about it now.
