And you prove the point... 'change the culture'... ... gerrymandering... ... Electoral College... ... DEI... ... the enemy is cultural supremacism, not political process.

So to change gerrymandering, we change the culture? What cultural change? Not just make better laws based on basic fairness that gives unbiased outcomes without direct coercion from some? Do you think tolerance to coercion is cultural?

Sure, eliminating gerrymandering et al requires legal rules & political will, & culture shapes the will. But the public only has indirect, representative power. We simply need cultural support for *fairness* to highlight culture’s role. Which culture doesn’t have this?

Also, isn’t my original comment made for cultural change? I’m influencing others to see the good of the approach to someday have more support for the political-economic changes. The question involves the reader to move them toward a better system.

Only 300 characters to explore the 'big question'. You have a set of propositions which assumes definition for complex constructs such as 'culture'. If the definition is challenged much shifts in the propositions. Not being obtuse, 'culture' is a shape-shifting creature. It evolves with technology.
