Then help change the nation where we are allowed to change it: at the local level. We have this binary voting system that gives white people (men) the upper hand, and everyone else so divided that they cannot make a fist.

But that can change, and rather quickly, too.

Voting in districts is the culprit of a discriminating nation that gives the seats overwhelmingly to the majority of voters (who overwhelmingly vote for the white old rich men).

Voting in districts is the government actively segregating people into districts and then telling them that they are each other's quals. That is separate-but-equal, and the courts have struck that down (hard) before. It is illegal and mean.

Unfortunately, at the Federal level separate-but-equal is allowed (the states are separate and equal to each other at the Federal level). But at the lower level it is not allowed. For sure, cities and counties are not allowed to have anything separate-but-equal in place. But they do, and that is where we can fight back, legally.

At the local level is where we can start to get full representation.

Stop the complaining, stop sitting on our hands. Join the new voter right movement. The Founding Fathers are actually with us. Voting in districts at the local level is not allowed.
