I am tired of hearing about gerrymandering.
Both parties have, and do do it, but it only seems to become a major issue when democrats lose elections.
I would rather do away with parties, pacs, corporate money, media bias, and just have people, supported by people running on their own ideas, qualifications, and merits.
It is a major issue with the Democrats due to the fact that is how the Republicans stole seats in Congress in 2010. That wasn't due to a fair and just voting system, it was from the tidal wave of strategic planning of gerrymandering from the Republicans to the point of being unconstitutional. Now that might not bother you, but it does me.
I don't think it 's a pipe dream, I think it's a great dream, one I would love to support and see happen and stop the party manipulations.
The rest is an opinionated rant and not worth arguing over, we disagree.
