    I worry that if they do Gerrymander it won’t just be for the sake of beating republicans, but preventing primary wins by progressive candidates.

    I really don’t understand why there isn’t a push for equal representation in congress. The building being too small is absurd. We need each congressperson repping the same number of people.

      the gop never wanted equal representation, they want all of it. they simply dont have to numbers to win elections, so they use propaganda, voter suppression and election interference to win.

            Let’s be a bit more constructive than this. If you’d like to point out flaws – and there are many – in the U.S. voting system, by all means, go nuts.

            Beeing personally dismissive is another story. Don’t do this on Beehaw. I enjoy snide one-liners as much as the next guy, but, you know, keep it civil?

            You mean like you just did?

            What?

            Haha no.

            Okay, so you’re saying that voting is how we change things. Which means that the government is directed by voting. I think there’s a term for that…

      “Get out and vote! Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore! Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore.”

    why, arnt they already have strongholds in these states, it only make sense if republicans are winning districts. just like the gop are doing in thier own states.
