This is a Big, Big Deal-Josh Marshall Talking Points Memo

54. Honestly I don't understand why you already accept undemocratic rule

The house is already, in my humble opinion, been stolen by gerrymandering and thus not representative of the people.

I for one can't understand why the media isn't already all over this, and the people aren't already in the streets.
If the house of representatives doesn't actually represent the majority, and particularly through documented tampering of the election system...

Democracy is already lost in the United States of America!

It's natural for those who benefit from this to continue to use their unnatural advantages to continue gaming the system, and so the electoral college will be the next to fall, and then the supreme court, and then the senate.

I signed up just to post my grave concerns because I can't believe this is happening unchecked. In Egypt people take to the streets daily to try to sway their government towards democracy.
I'm a Canadian Extra National and I do a lot of IT work through my company in the United States and across the world in banana republics. I have seen vote buying in mass in the first person, and I've seen how corruption and politics work together to extend the advantage that the rich have over the poor. I have also had the privilege of handing a hard-working young man from simple beginnings pay-cheques that gradually change the life of him and his family; not because of the money, but because of the confidence he built in getting it.

It just starts in apathy and the next thing you know there's no jobs for anybody except the families of the well connected.
