Justin E. Dues
2024 Candidate for US Congress District 8, North Carolina
Gerrymandering: the artful manipulation of electoral boundaries to sculpt political outcomes, rendering the democratic process more akin to a rigged game of Tetris than a fair representation of the people's will. Like an evil architect, politicians bend and contort district lines with surgical precision, not to reflect community cohesion or shared interests, but to fortify their own power bases and stifle dissent.
This immoral practice undermines the very essence of democracy, distorting the voice of the populace and entrenching partisan advantage at the expense of fair representation. It's the epitome of political cheating, a brazen assault on the principles of equality and justice, where politicians pick their voters rather than voters picking their representatives. In short, gerrymandering is democracy's disillusionment, a cancer eroding the integrity of our electoral system.
