"If 99 percent of us Democrats voted, it wouldn't matter how much the 1
percent spends on our elections" is a nice but factually false sentiment
due to gerrymandering as well as media control. Even if media control
can be (partially) offset by dedicated persons going "door to door",
gerrymandering will offset such gains on the local, State, and House of
Representatives levels. The only solution is a real end to
gerrymandering, and that seems very unlikely for two reasons:
gerrymandering is the only way a minority political party (Republican)
can stay in power; with Republiklan control of SCOTUS, legal challenges
to gerrymandering will fail at SCOTUS, supporting minority rule.
Unfortunately, when Democrats could have had control of Congress
(eliminate a virtual filibuster, but require the filibustering Senator/s
to talk until they literally drop from exhaustion; expand SCOTUS to
counter the Republiklan steal of SCOTUS, using Graham's words against
him), the Democrat establishment did not. With Republiklan control of
SCOTUS, it may be very difficult to de-entrench minority rule and the
finest legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government that
money can buy. Do recall that Putin knows who are essentially his
allies, as is demonstrated by the example of Tucker Carlson amongst others.
