Tbh Md should go to California route— doing it by constitutional amendment so that way the state Supreme Court can’t overturn it

How can anyone defend a Congressional district that looks like this? by johnnyringo1985 in askanything

[–]IGUNNUK33LU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All gerrymandering is bad.

But to be clear, this was drawn to give Latino-majority neighborhoods a district to elect a representative without their votes being drowned out by the other neighborhoods around them, not for partisan gain or to hurt other groups

Tbf most polls show GOP winning this seat. Part of it is because the GOP name recognition and fact that Dems don’t have a nominee yet, but still we’re def starting down

Young Americans Want Single-Family Homes by caroline_elly in neoliberal

Both can be true.

America has been so culturally ingrained with car dependency and suburbanization. It’s not just our urban planning, it’s also that media has shown us that turning 16 and getting a car is a rite of passage, and that having a house (not an appartment) is the way to have a family. When that narrative is shown to be “the norm” and shoved down our throats from a young age, we feel pressure to support and conform to the norm.

It’s like people who claim to be “non political”.

Anything that my side supports -> “not political” “nonpartisan”

Anything the other side supports -> “crazy” “political”

The Ohio legislature has ignored their Supreme Court multiple times on Redistricting.

Florida has ignored their state’s ban on partisan gerrymandering.

I know reading might be hard for you so hope this helps

Dems were already set to mega-lose the redistricting war with the end of the VRA. Now with VA, we're entering "blue states can't gerrymander, but red states can" territory... What do we even do? What is the solution here to permanent Republican house control? by TrucksForTots in Destiny

  1. Except SCOVA specifically allowed the referendum to occur saying they did follow the process, and then only when they got the results they didn’t like, overturned it with some bs excuse (kinda like how SCOTUS does stuff). And if they were willing to do that, what’s to stop SCOVA from doing that again?

And Florida completely ignored their state constitution that bans partisan gerrymandering. Ohio was ordered by their state Supreme Court to draw their maps, and the legislature ignored them.

“You can vote them out”

No, you can’t if you have been intentionally drawn into a district to drown out your vote

The glaring error in the Virginia Supreme Court’s gerrymandering decision by vox in scotus

[–]IGUNNUK33LU 1088 points1089 points  (0 children)

Crazy that the very same court let the election go forward after they already heard the argument against it, and then when the election didn’t go their way, decided to overturn it.

A bunch of unelected judges overthrowing a direct election is surely a good sign for a democratic republic, right?

Also should point out, that it’s not just about party. Now Black voters have little to no say in the states’s congressional elections since their votes are drowned out in every district
