February 4, 20214 yr Author 34 minutes ago, sameaglesfan said: Which never happens in blue states It does, and it shouldn't. Gerrymandering is bad for democracy no matter what state it's done in. Though the current state of gerrymandering is giving more of an advantage to Republicans than Democrats (owed largely to the 2010 election that saw Republicans take over not only Congress in DC but many state legislatures in swing states) States like California have actively worked against gerrymandering. New York is doing the same, having created a commission to redraw maps after the 2020 census rather than allowing the legislature to do it. Now that PA is more fairly drawn, the most gerrymandered states are NC, MD, & TX. NC is slightly better than it was - maps earlier this decade had a state that was about 48D-50R in the 2012 presidential election sent 3 Dems and 10 Republicans to the house. That's out of whack. Gerrymandering should be actively fought no matter where it's taking place (red or blue). It leads to too many comfortable districts, which leads to too much radicalization. It's one of the many contributing factors of our current state of political dysfunction. Unfortunately the federal government, under limits out in place by the constitution, cannot force states to work against gerrymanders. So pressure has to come from state action.

February 4, 20214 yr That worked for the Naht Zees - they just said they didn't mean it and that was an end to it.
February 4, 20214 yr I think "They're going to judge <insert name here> on the things they said" is now my favorite Republican defense. Like, just the absurdity of it.

How about do a little research? I think the larger issue with her was calling for the murder of her colleague. Calling Sandy Hook a hoax is a close second.

How about do a little research? he's pronounced it correctly on camera a bunch of times before yesterday. he's just being a lying weasel, as usual.
