My view:
1) the founders were deeply against rule by political parties. Yet here we are.
2) The Electoral College is no longer a solution for anything. We will remain a democratic farce until it is abolished.
3) Gerrymandering is a direct result of clever racists gaming the Electoral College. So . . .
4) Slavery was never REALLY abolished, with that short phrase " . . . EXCEPT as a condition of involuntary servitude" in the amendment purporting to END slavery. So now our slavery is corporate.
Nothing will change until these wrongs have been righted.
