@ldaws-3912 Clintons, Bidens, McConnells, Sanders, Pelosi, ... They ALL got rich at the public trough, and nobody's going to hold them accountable, and the ones in office, still, can't be removed, because they control how the votes are counted.

CIVILIZED countries around the world use Voter ID, and look askance at the USA for not securing its elections.
The filibuster protects the minority against the tyranny of the majority. If more than 1/3 of the nation is dead set against the majority, then the majority must COMPROMISE. Eliminating the filibuster on presidential appointments allowed Trump to ram through a lot of his appointments, despite Democrat opposition. Pure majority rule has been tried and failed miserably in the Roman Empire. Majority-rule aspects of our CURRENT system have created a real Bread-and-Circuses situation in the USA.
There's a REASON for the filibuster.
Also, the "gerrymandering" issue is more nuanced than they make it out to be. What if there are 30% Democrats and 70% Republicans in a state? Without redrawing districts carefully, you would have ZERO Democrats in Congress from that state! So a 30% minority would have ZERO representation. And it doesn't have to be that extreme. It could be 51% to 49% but again, ZERO representation for half of the state/nation.
HR1 is what Democrats HOPE will mean one-party Democrat rule forever. We can't let that happen.
Then there's the danger to Democrats of severe blowback, giving those powers to the Republicans. All it would take would be one election, and as long as the Republicans didn't do anything too crazy, they could shut out the Democrats in perpetuity.
What the Democrats want is for the cities to dictate everything. If you live OUTside the city, they want you disenfranchised.
And there's more than one way to disenfranchise voters. One is by allowing illegal aliens to vote, even though they don't have the right and should be deported. Ballot harvesting is another way. Just send your Democrat operatives to nursing homes and the housing projects. "Help" people with their ballots, checking all Democrat candidates. This is pretty blatant in Democrat strongholds. Only Republicans seem concerned about this, because Democrats don't care about principles. All they care about is winning.

I'm instinctively against the public option, because I know how the government can and will corrupt anything it controls. But I'm not sure that it wouldn't fix much that is wrong with the system in the short term.
I'd kind of like to see a law that states "You may NOT leave elected office wealthier than you entered." Or something along those lines. You KNOW the system is corrupt when you see the mega-millions these people retire with, after starting in "public service" without much money at all. Clintons, Obamas, Schumer, Pelosi, McConnell, Sanders... There's only one RINO Republican on this list, but that's just lack of research. Grassley, Specter, and many other "lifers" in the House and Senate grew immensely wealthy by leveraging their elected positions.
