nah, a couple stupid court cases about political gerrymandering gave it to dems.
silly liberal, representation is not proportional. that left and east coast libs vote predominantly dem and run up the totals is not evidence of gerrymandering.

Those are something i didnât know much about.
in PA was a big issue. how many seats were flipped in PA alone? State SC overthrew the map and declared political gerrymandering unconstitutional according to the state constitution. its a silly idea, political gerrymandering is what our system demands and the only way it works.
Um, no. The system does not âdemandâ districts be drawn to benefit the politicians. It was an unintended consequence of how we formed our system. The states are slowly changing the way redistricting is done to correct this oversight.
Itâs awight.
Baby talk is not a good look for you.
Rapper talk. Iâm a rapper now.
Thatâs it in a nutshell.
I know, rightâŚ
its not an oversite. we do not have a parliament, we have a congress. this is not a democracy, its a republic. Only a complete idiot would claim political gerrymandering is not âallowedâ under our constitution as any way a district is formed it is gerrymandered top some purpose. If the founders had wanted us to have proportional representation, they would have created a parliamentary democracy, they certainly knew what one was.
psssttt⌠mel watts legacy district no longer exists.
donât know whats shocking about it, nc is purplish red, not deep red. eastern nc still believes democrats can be conservative and charlotte is turning into a liberal loon haven.
A republic is a form of democracy. I didnât say it wasnât allowed; I said it wasnât intended.
i know, right?
Who told you that?
So they did want to suppress peopleâs votes?
You think the founders didnât know that 51-49 in the ballot box = 1-0 in the Congress? Of course they did. If they wanted proportional representation they would have formed a parliament. They didnât, they formed a Congress. Then they doubled down on insuring we would not have proportional representation by making the Senate the upper house and allowing state legislatures to appoint Senators pretty much insuring that 51-49 at the ballot box in the legislature would equal 2-0 in the Senate.
