The political situation in the US continues to worsen and become more extreme in both directions, rather than being more towards the middle as it should be.

The first thing that needs to happen is that districts need to be reshaped back to sensible zones based on geography, and that politicians need to loose the power to reshape their own districts. Gerrymandering needs to stop now. If you want to see what I am talking about, I mean this..
