Re-Establishing an Example of a Democratic Republic in the USA

The Democrats in the US Congress are trying to advance the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (JLVRAA) while Republicans in states like Georgia and Texas are trying hard to stem loses by restricting access to voting...


We are not the model of Democracy we once strived to be.  We have only one party at all interested in promoting said Democracy; democratic republic.  

Democrats need to eliminate obstacles like the filibuster and deliver legislation, like the JLVRAA, for President Biden to sign into law.  We might also consider ratifying the treaty that established the International Criminal Court, so that crimes against humanity (like the international incident on the border twixt the USA and the United Mexican States (Estados Unidos Mexicanos)) might be pursued on the world stage.

Set an international example by allowing the Federal Communications Commission to, once again, treat broadband services (the Internet) as a utility; as a Title II, common-carrier service.  Free up the means to communicate when some  are seeking to hide potential crimes, including crimes against humanity, by suppressing the means and methods of modern telecommunications; enhances the communicating of other things (e.g., video conferencing for business, government, education, entertainment, etc...).

We need to re-establish, perhaps enhance, leading by example.  The, "do like I do, not like I say," example of Democracy; a democratic republic.
