Slay the Dragon

In the world. well, as an innocent non -american citizen i get gobsmacked and deranged if not to say depressed to how american politics works out in practice. ''the vote'' has absolutely no value at all if this practice goes on,and you'll end up like paria-nations like north korea or china akan one-party-system and become part of the infamous axis-of-evil, an expression made allegedly by gop president dubaya bush..

if the election system isnt hard enough to understand this movement of electoral district to the house and senat makes it completely nuts. its a typical sign or symptom of the 1% society disease

i will not come up with solutions, other than that they should abolish the way they do it now. so to the voter not politicians movement, youve got my moral support.

i love this kind of documentaries that tells unfairness in a proper and understandable manner so i recommend a look at this, because im grumpy and old and a man

A tough fight here in the US for democracy. Amazing how the Republicans fight - in Fussball they would see the red card

This movie presents compelling evidence for the importance of redistricting reform and unrigging the system. I started the movie not knowing much about the topic, and am convinced now that this is an area of vital importance for our country (and the future of our democracy).

For what it's worth, I voted for Romney in 2012 and lean moderate. I didn't think this documentary hits you over the head with partisanship. It was a fair look at a serious issue.

My state polls at about 53% Democrat 42% GOP in the last ten years on average. But 75% of the Representatives, and 100% of the Senators we sent to the US Congress and Senate are Democrats. The anti-gerrymandering proposed in this documentary would result in even more Democrat seats, which is to say even disenfranchisement of GOP voters. Like the other reviewer I have wonder why the documentary makers did not note that ranked choice voting would have given Donald Trump a larger margin of victory, and less GOP seats lost in the 2018 midterms? Actually ranked choice would have mean no president Kennedy and no President Clinton. Why is Georgia's representation unfair but the fact that both senators from Virginia are Democrats when that state cleanly averages 50% to 48%?

Gerrymandering has been used by both Liberal and Conservatives. But with the systematic taking of local and district elections across the country, conservatives have taken control of how districts are drawn to purposefully minimize Liberal voters. They have been funded by Super Pacs (I.e. Koch brothers) and have misused and abused the power of redistricting.Districts should be drawn and based on population and be as simple and as small as they can be. All registered voters should not be identified by any party when a district is drawn. They should not be drawn by any Political party.
