Slay the Dragon

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%?

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.

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.

We'll put together documentary, gerrymandering has no place in a democracy. I wish they spent more time following the money and naming those responsible for the gerrymandering that resulted in electing Trump in 2020. Looking forward to seeing what there solution is and how redistricting will look in 2020 vs 2010. Maybe one day the majority of voters will finally have a say in who gets elected.

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