Political

Whatever happened to the doctrine of states rights?  Both the senate and electoral college are structured to emasculate populous states like California.  As a result the minority-controlled federal government has now outright attacked the populous states and their right to self-govern.  The power of the people has been eroded by insidious gerrymandering, media manipulation and uncouth practices such as slander and character assassination by a severely unpopular Republican Party that has gone rogue and become as a cancer to our nation, undermining its very principles of government by and for the people!
