Not a fan Gerrymandering, but the Republicans really f’ed themselves.

The Republicans have gerrymandered their states to keep black and brown AMERICANS from voting all my life

Now

All of the sudden you idiots don’t like Gerrymandering

But only when the states vote to do it to protect the nation from Republicans Gerrymandering without consulting the actual VOTERS


DUDES

YOU SUCK VERY BADLY AT LOOKING HUMAN

AI Overview
Gerrymandering—the manipulation of electoral district boundaries for partisan advantage—has been used by both parties throughout U.S. history, with Republicans utilizing advanced, data-driven techniques in modern cycles to maximize seats, particularly after the 2010 "REDMAP" initiative. While the term originates from Democratic-Republican Elbridge Gerry in 1812, Republicans have historically, and in the 21st century, secured significant power through "packing and cracking" strategies, a practice often protected by the Supreme Court’s 2019 ruling that federal courts cannot review partisan map disputes.
Key Historical Moments and Strategies:
  • 19th Century Roots: Republicans used their control of Congress to create new states from territories friendly to their party (e.g., dividing the Dakota Territory into two states) to secure additional electoral votes.
  • 2010 REDMAP Initiative: The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) launched the Redistricting Majority Project (REDMAP) ahead of the 2010 census. By winning state-level elections in key swing states, they gained control over redistricting, resulting in highly efficient maps that secured numerous House seats and state legislative majorities for the next decade.
  • Modern Technology & "Surgical Precision": Unlike earlier methods, modern Republican gerrymandering, similar to other partisan efforts, uses computer algorithms and detailed voter data to create "surgical" maps, choosing the most effective map from thousands of generated options.
  • Key States & Techniques: States like North Carolina, Texas, Ohio, and Wisconsin have featured high-profile, Republican-drawn maps that packed Democratic voters into a few districts while spreading Republican voters across many, creating durable majorities.
  • Legal Challenges: The Supreme Court in Rucho v. Common Cause (2019) ruled that while gerrymandering is, in their words, "inconsistent with democratic principles," federal courts cannot intervene in partisan cases, allowing states to continue the practice.
While the GOP has utilized this strategy extensively, the practice is not exclusive to them, with Democrats similarly creating favorable maps in states they control.

Oh so it is Virginia's responsibility to "protect" democracy by disenfranchising its own voters because of something Texas did?

You can say you are against gerrymandering, but you really sound for it. Just be honest for a change as hard as that is for you.

I do enjoy watching you twist yourselves in knots over this trying to rationalize it

Nobody was disenfranchised. The voters got to decide, unlike what the Texas legislators did.

Wanna talk about Iran, or are you running from that?

Of course voters were disenfranchised and you know it. You love you some gerrymandering now. You can't say you don't support it then love what just happened. I won't let you weasel out of it.

And we have beaten Iran to death. You want to try to focus on every single nuance of every single day when nothing has materially changed. Just relax.

Remember a couple of weeks ago you said that there would be boots on the ground. So........

Is Hormuz open? Trump makes different statements daily, he is flailing.

Are you okay with Hormuz being closed indefinitely?

Are you okay with Iran keeping the buried uranium?

What do we get for our 13 lives and billions of dollars?
 
Go read up on the court ordered consent decree the Republican Party was under for 35 ish years

They couldn’t get out of this court order because they kept getting caught in courts disenfranchising voters to steal the people power from them

DNC V RNC

ITS SHOWS WHAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TRUELY IS

It’s why Republicans started claiming America is not a Democracy

They hate democracy

It isn't closed indefinitely. You anchor on every word because you are a child.

You said they don't have uranium, now you claim they do? Make up your mind Veruca. It is so hard to keep up with all of your lies

PS just because you want to chase every single word doesn't mean others have to play along. Honestly, my life hasn't been impacted one iota by what is going on in Iran. Has yours? Gas prices aren't any higher than they were when Biden was in office so.......

I never said they do not have uranium, more silly accusations. Are gas prices higher than they were before the PP started this war? If so, as much as you would like to pretend otherwise, it has affected you.

I would argue that when an American soldier is harmed or killed it affects all of us, I guess you do not care.

So before the referendum it was 6-5 in Virginia and now it is 10-1 and you call that restoring balance? Why do you care about what other states do? You are willing to disenfranchise and underrepresent your voters because of other states?

haha, what a stupid question.

'Why do you care if we, magats cheat in other States in a way that will make your vote worthless... just pay attention to your own State and do not worry if we steal it as you can say 'i only cared what happened in my State.'...

Is only the way the most stupid magats would think.

in the face of Trump launching this 'extreme and unprecedented redistricting mid term' in an attempt to 'find himself seats' and disenfranchise the votes of Dems in other States, making their votes not matter, they SHOULD NOT care about fighting back against that.

you can be a pacifist until someone shows up to kill you and your family and then if you are forced to fight back and kill you should 'not care' that you diverged from your core belief in that extreme circumstance.
 
As always discussions like this expose the magats for who they are.

It is Trump who set off this extreme gerry mandering wave. It is he who demanded Red States do it and disenfranchise the votes of Dems in Red States.

Do we see @Damocles and other magats comment anywhere on how that is 'wrong' or how magats 'do not care', or is their ire and sense of right and wrong only found when Dems do it to fight back so that elections are not stolen from them by cheating.

This call for Dem States to 'hold to the high ground' as the election are stolen so they can say 'yes we lost but we held to the high ground' is a magat fantasy of what Dems should do. it would be the same as a magat complaining that the pacifist chose to shoot back as he tried to kill him and his family believing the pacifist should hold to his prior view and just accept death for him and his family as 'the right thing to do'.

Voters in Virginia approved a plan that will likely cost Republicans 4 seats in November. California did the same. Texas for the Republicans
