The democraps have nothing to advocate for so they let the king release his dogs. Optically now they can look good! DSA = Democrat..... both parties are at fault. ICE is apart of the plan. To distract away from the modern day holocaust. Foreign policy is domestic policy. There is only one party. You are all playing your part in the grand illusion. Tricks are for kids. Hope is for those who don’t read or pay attention… 40 years on this wretched earth….. pfffft cold war libs hahaha nothing ever changes. Pro war liberal is like nuns working in porno. I have tooo much experience to believe in stooooooopid ideas. America Bad Baby all day every day. STOP HAVING KIDS!!!!! You live in a inversion! YOUR VOTE DOESN'T MATTER. It is all about managing perception. Yankees cheering on their demise. Sure you won a battle .... good for you bucko but just look at the crumbling society you leave behind. What a dump! 3rd party or I will not vote... I will obstruct as I wait on the working class to get its head out of its arse. NO WAR BUT THE CLASS WAR. You need to think in the terms of 2 birds 1 stone. When looking at complicated issues you need to think "It is never just one thing. It all feeds into the grand mission" ....THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE MORAL IMPROVES!!!!!!! You don't understand your beliefs because they are merely self interest.... It is only a matter of time before you get sick and tired of the games... YOU NEED TO ACTUALLY NEED TO LEARN HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED AND PAY ATTENTION. yet you are lazy guided like a horse

Love Me, I'm a Liberal Lyrics I cried when they shot Medgar Evers Tears ran down my spine I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy As though I'd lost a father of mine But Malcolm X got what was coming He got what he asked for this time So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I go to civil rights rallies And I put down the old D.A.R. I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy I hope every colored boy becomes a star But don't talk about revolution That's going a little bit too far So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I cheered when Humphrey was chosen My faith in the system restored I'm glad the commies were thrown out of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board I love Puerto Ricans and Negros as long as they don't move next door So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

The people of old Mississippi Should all hang their heads in shame I can't understand how their minds work What's the matter don't they watch Les Crain? But if you ask me to bus my children I hope the cops take down your name So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I read New republic and Nation I've learned to take every view You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden I feel like I'm almost a Jew But when it comes to times like Korea There's no one more red, white and blue So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I vote for the democratic party They want the U.N. to be strong I go to all the Pete Seeger concerts He sure gets me singing those songs I'll send all the money you ask for But don't ask me to come on along So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

Once I was young and impulsive I wore every conceivable pin Even went to the socialist meetings Learned all the old union hymns But I've grown older and wiser And that's why I'm turning you in So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

The Fair Representation Act has been re-introduced in Congress. This bold solution can stop gerrymandering and make Congress work for every American. 

The Fair Representation Act can solve partisan gerrymandering, make every congressional district competitive, and encourage politicians to represent all of us instead of just their base. It does this by combining three reforms: 

  • Multi-member districts. In three- or five-member districts, nearly every voter will elect a candidate they support. Voters like Massachusetts Republicans and Oklahoma Democrats will be represented in Congress. Gerrymandering will become nearly impossible.

  • Ranked choice voting for all U.S. House and Senate elections. RCV frees voters to support their favorite candidates, and encourages candidates to reach out to more voters for second-choice support. When RCV is used in multi-member districts, it is a form of proportional representation.

  • Uniform rules for congressional redistricting 

The Fair Representation Act can be passed without a constitutional amendment. It truly has the potential to transform our political system and create a more inclusive and deliberative government which respects and empowers all voices.
