When politicians redraw congressional district maps to favor their party, they may secure short-term victories. But those wins can come at a steep price — a loss of public faith in elections and, ultimately, in democracy itself.

    There won’t be any winners in a civil war these days. There will be too many sides.

      Indeed. The folks that need to organize aren’t, the fascists are, and the oligarchs are buying everyone that isn’t affiliated one way or another. Then there’s China, Russia, Israel, etc. It’s a mess and we all lose at the end.

        Well how do we Organize when all of our organization attempts are moderated, yet on truth social they are encouraged.

        This very community has certain moderators who try very hard to shut down any conversation like that

            I think maybe if the moderated showed up at the doorsteps of the moderators, those moderators might not moderate.
