The US has a political system that works quite well when most of both major parties follow the rules and.... at least formally.... put the country's interests first. We also supposedly have laws and aspects of the Constitution that protect us against dishonest & rogue politicians.

The problem is, we never expected or planned for an administration in which a totally self-serving and incompetent president would install a cabinet filled with incompetent and self-serving sycophants and spend 2-3 years purging everyone he could who crossed him.... ending up with an Attorney General who lied at his confirmation and proceeded to sabotage attempts to get at the truth. Add a leader of the Senate whose major goal in life is to pack the Federal courts with Republican judges, and we are left with nothing but an election under awkward circumstances to get us out of this mess..... and in the meantime, this corrupt administration is doing everything possible to limit voting rights for those who might repeat that popular vote of 4 years ago!

   The USA is a bold experiment in some combination of a democracy and a republic. It has had many successes... and a few failures. IF... I say IF.. we can overturn this travesty of an administration AND win back the senate, there will be efforts to shore up the rules which allowed this mess to happen.... beginning with dumping the electoral college and seriously curtailing Gerrymandering.

Wish us luck...
