Dear Democratic Party

 Go fuck yourself. 

You suck at winning elections, harm reduction and dozens of other things connected to politics.

remapping Illinois US House districts to make IL-04 & IL-05 Latino districts

 I have begun the process of remapping Illinois' US House districts using demographic data from Wikipedia and censusreporter.org. My goal is to make a map that more accurately reflects the demographics of Illinois. There's a logic to the map that makes sense to me, but I have not focused on creating a bunch of comfortable Democrat districts. See Dave Wasserman's example of this approach. I have avoided creating comfortable Democrat districts because the most reliable way to do this is to prop up "comfortable Dem" districts with Latino, Black and Asian voters who then get to vote Democrat but not be elected as Democrats. (Yes, there are exceptions, like Rep. Lauren Underwood, but the norm is more like having Reps. Bill Foster, Marie Newman (previously Dan Lipinski) and Mike Quigley blocking the path for Latinos.)

the United States should be overthrown and replaced by multiple states with constitutions that reflect the values & needs of the people

 This July 4, 2003, I propose creating a political party that has the goal of creating new countries governed by new constitutions.

Multiple tickets for President in play for 2024 election in the United States

 Gonna keep the verbage short. The GOP splits. Dems replace Biden-Harris at the convention: Pro-Trump Republicans: Donald Trump with either Tulsi Gabbard or RFK, Jr as VP. Anti-Trump Republicans: Vivek Ramaswamy with Mike Pence as VP Democrats: JB Pritzker with Rafael Warnock as VP. No Labels: Jon Huntsman, Jr. with Loretta Lynch as VP. Greens: Cornel West with Jesse Ventura as VP. Libertarians: Mark Cuban with Justin Amash as VP The other anti-Trump Republicans: Liz Cheney with Adam Kinzinger as VP (these guys fail to get on the ballot in enough states and drop out) The socialists/Bernie Democrats: two people whom you've haven't heard of who get on the ballot in more states than Cheney-Kinzinger but get almost no media attention. The Facebook Party (but they are called something else officially): Mark Zuckerberg with Pete Buttigieg as VP.
