      Because the working poor are too tired, divided, and financially vulnerable to unite and protest in any meaningful persistent way.

      We are planning a protest on May 1st. Don’t go to work and don’t buy anything. Take to the streets and make your voice heard.

      Watch how it goes. Too many of us won’t even know it’s happening, or will know — but won’t be able to afford taking that day off, or will know — but won’t care.

      The majority is easy to divide apparently.

      I’ve got a better one for you, why is oligarch bribery legal? Both come from the same source.

      Why not divide each state into slices like a pie with each relatively proportioned to have an equal number of citizens?

        Restructure the government to operate on total votes. End districts, the EC, all this bullshit, you run for town/city, county,state, or federal and it counts every person living in those areas. Add ranked choice and either expand or reduce number of representatives.

        Gerrymandering is necessary with dogshit systems like we have now, it just becomes an issue when it’s weaponized and we allow blatant corruption and manipulation.
