Gerrymandering Part II

THIS WHOLE GERRYMANDERING thing in Florida is beyond disgusting, just as it is always disgusting, no matter who is doing it, no matter which party. Currently, it appears to be primarily if not excusively Republicans of the MAGA kind doing the dirty deed, led by Trump, and the primary, immediate impetus seems to be coming from the widespread right wing desire to keep Trump and MAGA politicians in power, indefinitely, perhaps eternally. Stipulated here is that this behavior anybody is capable of,just like anybody is capable of lying, cheating, stealing, or killing. Democrats gerrymander too. Over the circuitous course of American politica history, who's to say who or which party has been the most guilty of it? Its as if,in a democracy organized by voting districts,its going to happen. We must stop it in the U.S., or at least try to, instead of placidly accepting it as some sort of inevitable, unavoidable,necessary evil. What the Republicans are trying to do and successfully doing in Florida isnothing other than outright subversion of democracy, and we all,if we are good citizens,must rise up and stop it. We must fight to unrig our democracy,our alleged democracy. Everybody talks about the big corrupting money in American politics,and of course,that is the main problem,and must be dealt with first. America's poor majority must organize,and take our democracy back from the billionaires, and aare perhaps are finally being heard, auspiciously, more often of late. The ruling plutocracy can be dismantled, removed from power, maybe as easily as enacting a few basic new laws. It wouls start, ofcourse, with public cammpaign financing,and strict limits on campaign contributions. One we make it impossible to actually blatanly purchase political offices, we are beginnning to build an actual democracy. But not until. Many people argue that our two party system is best, because it quickly, effectively gives us a clear majority and a minnority, on all issues at all times, instead of a collection of many different fragmented small parties witth differing points ofview, no clear majority, and a permenantly fragmented societed, paralyzed in inaction. However, in countries where such a fragmented situation exists, thyy have learned the art ofcompromise and temporary, shifting party party allliances, dependant on ths issues of the day. In any political system in which money is not regulated and is allowed to flow freely throughout the political system, the political system becomes and remains utterly corrupted,bought and paid for by the wealthiest of the wealthy elite. Rich versus poor is the main American divide. This is reality, not "class warfare", as the rich like to call it. Or, OK, call it class warfare. The poor and working poor classes can either accept the currrent situation, or they can try to do something about it,to change it. This our wealthy elite masters call "class warfare." Billionaires organize to keep their wealth and power, and attack the poor for organizeing to gain some of it, some semblance of equality. The Marxist theory of history can be attacked, criticized, demonized all day long. It remains fundamentally valid, as a partial explanation of history which, in concert with other theories and paradigms, helps us understand human history, and ourselves. Recent history has seen the rebirth of democracy, dead since ancient Greece and Rome. Today, it is a dwindling flame, attacked by forces intent on putting it out. MAGA is anti-democratic,and must be opposed, and ultimately defeated.
