Presidents Are Elected Not By Direct Popular

In Addition To The Decline In Competition, American Politics Today Is Characterized By A Growing Ideological Polarization Between The Two Major Political Parties.

We Are Not Separate And Independent Entities, But Like Links In A Chain, And We Could Not By Any Means Be What We Are Without Those Who Went Before Us And Showed Us The Way.

Science Never Makes An Advance Until Philosophy Authorizes It To Do So.

With The Parties At Virtual Parity And The Ideological Gulf Between Them Never Greater, The Stakes Of Majority Control Of Congress Are Extremely High.

Redistricting Is A Deeply Political Process, With Incumbents Actively Seeking To Minimize The Risk To Themselves (via Bipartisan Gerrymanders) Or To Gain Additional Seats For Their Party (via Partisan Gerrymanders).
