Supreme Court on the verge of striking down Voting Rights Act

Great. Now the only losers are the voters.

 

As it has been over the last two decades, the conservative court has eroded gov for the people and shifted it more toward big donors, while restricting how people vote, greenlighting more unconstrained partisan gerrymandering, and essentially allowing those in power or with massive wealth to choose their voters.

This midterm redistricting fight is highlighting to the public how power is controlled and manipulated by politicians. When Democrats win back Congress, they will have more political momentum to push for new voting rights, and they better act on it. No one likes partisan gerrymandering except politicians in power and those with extreme wealth who care more about their power than democracy.

 

Same goes with the SUPER PACS. That crap needs abolished. You want to make it fair? Limit individual political donations to a certain amount, and give everyone an equal shot at fundraising their campaigns. Eliminate the million and billion dollar donors.
