Citizens united and lobbying is probably a bigger issue then which party the person elected belongs too. They are all corrupted, performers hiding their insider tradings self enriching, sellout, behaviour

FWIW I know Virginia isn’t part of New England, this post was a MAGA accounts reaction to the Virginia news that had recently supported gerrymandering when Texas did so

Are we still surprised about the hypocrisy?

As a non American, I’m curious. Does the electoral college (where I understand most states give all their votes to the winning party, even if the split were 51%-49%) worry her?
Or is this another case of “if not for double standards, they’d have none at all”?

Could it be possible that no one likes republicans so they just vote democrat? Not every instance where republicans lose is evidence of cheating. Republicans just fucking suck

Me and my lib friends didn’t conceive this idea, your cheating lying king made virginia happen! And to my soon to be unemployed congressman, good luck kissing Trumps ass from the basement of irrelevance

All that needs to be commented is, “Texas”.

I don’t know whether those districts are gerrymandered or not without looking, but I do know it doesn’t take gerrymandering to produce that result. It just takes an even population distribution and poor quality candidates.
That’s part of why people are working so hard to make sure no races are uncontested in NC, which is gerrymandered so bad the whole state could flip if Hispanic people realize that Republicans care about their skin color more than their catholic conservativism.

Libertarians are just republicans that want to do drugs and lower the age of consent.
They certainly don’t give a shit about the constitution, or they wouldn’t be republican lite.

just popping in to remind everyone that democrats have tried several times to introduce anti-gerrymandering laws and republicans always vote it down.
republicans LOVE gerrymandering because they are the minority, they have unpopular ideas, and they would never win an election again if they couldn’t cheat.
in typical trump fashion, he pushed for texas to do something terrible without considering the consequences. and in typical republican party fashion, they went with it because they also cannot see more than 2 feet ahead.

Your problem is assuming that this is _hypocrisy_.
Conservatives are crybullies.

Every other country picks districts based on the census, not based on the whims of the politicians that want to get elected.
Fighting gerrymandering with gerrymandering isn’t going to be a great long term solution. We just need a constitutional amendment to change how districts are set.

Someone needs to travel to America and teach them about mixed-member proportional representation. Or maybe not, I hear visiting the country is discouraged currently.

I read about his “telerally call” and:
*“This referendum is a blatant partisan power grab that nobody’s really ever seen anything like it. If it passes, Virginia Democrats will eliminate four out of five congressional seats, so you’re going to get just wiped out in terms of representation in Washington. That’s what it’s all about.” – Trump.*
I like how the double standard is, it’s wrong when Democrats do it, but right when Republicans do it. 🤦😑

Now do Montana. Try and gerrymander that state. You can’t, and yet it also shows a proclivity to bipartisanship.

Actually a better example of modern day taxation without representation would be the taxes I, as a DC resident, pay to the federal government while having no representation in Congress. But yes, Democrats bad.

This isn’t even accurate. Those 6 states have 21 representatives, not 33. And 4 of those states have 1 or 2 representatives so the breakdown is gonna be poor anyway with those few seats. Capping the house nearly a century ago is more responsible for New England representation.

and of course she’d support a system that allocates seats based on party % ?
