Hard Truth about Democracy to live.

Our Democracy is based on our electors doing what the people they serve sent them to do OR follow the Constitution.

Who are our electors?

Answer is candidates that were voted in by the people within a district.

Who decides who belongs to what district?

Republicans say their computer that formulated winning maps.

Democrats have no say.

We need to have an universal approach how our federal and state districts are mapped.

Metropolitan, Interstates, Rivers and county lines. No more Tetris maps.

Regulating the airlines for fuel consumption.

What are your thoughts shutting down the airlines to just weekends? Regulating the airlines should saves fuel consumption, thereby reducing the high need for high octane airplane fuel. Whereby reducing costs at the pumps.

Yes, US would probably be the lone wolf on the regulation, but perhaps the world would follow.

Thoughts?

About Smackdown2019

I am Conservative Democrat that believes in the rights of all people, but also believes in fiscal responsibility. Government programs that support the poor should be protected, but not abused. Government subsidies should also be brought back and the dependencies of quick junk food be abolished for the health of our Nation.
