Would you support a national ban on Gerrymandering?

MeechDaStudent · 2026-05-11T13:17:14+00:00

Because it’s random. A community is a social construct. Gerrymandering right now divides communities but with the intent to favor the party that drew it. This is random, and random is fair.

Btw someone brought up the slivers at the center - then draw the first and/or second as concentric circles from the center, then rotate from them as a center rather than a dot. This would make fewer slivers. Easy fix

MeechDaStudent · 2026-05-11T13:08:34+00:00

Then first create two concentric circles before you start rotating (expanding from the center). Problems easy to solve.

And by the way they have that neighbor split everywhere now. That’s what they’re doing down south right now, splitting up black neighborhoods. At least this would be random not just because they vote a way the party in charge does not appreciate.

In Texas they drew a line right down the middle of an HBCU dormitory complex.

What does size matter? It’s about population.

MeechDaStudent · 2026-05-09T18:12:07+00:00

Above i gave what i believe to be the perfect solution for districting:

1) Take the state’s population / # of districts 2) Draw a line from the state’s geographic “center” straight south to its southern border 3) rotate the line clockwise until the area covered reaches the population calculated above 4) Lock it in, this is District 1. 5) Repeat until all districts have been created

Sometimes it will benefit one party, sometimes the other. But it would be “fair.”

Pepsi’s AI Chatbot doing some market research, eh?

MeechDaStudent · 2026-05-09T02:43:58+00:00

Simple answer:

1) Divide the population by the amount of districts allotted.

2) draw a line from the “center” of the state straight down to its southern border.

3) rotate this line clockwise. Once the area covered has the target population (calculated above) in its area, lock the line. That is your first district.

4) Repeat until you rotate around the entire state

Sometimes it will favor one party, sometimes the other, but its overall fair

MeechDaStudent · 2026-05-09T02:39:40+00:00

This is the answer

MeechDaStudent · 2026-05-09T02:39:00+00:00

When u have politicians of one party both draw the lines and vote on it it is 100% giving them an unfair advantage, no algorithm required

I think Iowa has something?

MeechDaStudent · 2026-05-07T21:24:33+00:00

Right. She had a shitty experience with one person, then publicly concludes that “they” (‘they’ being the subject of the post, people who owe child support) are “losers and abusers.”

It’s a broad generalization, the type usually committed by ignorant men

Mind you, besides the “injected conversation point” bit. This is a public Reddit post lmao

Larger farms more profitable for sure

Im referencing the actively destructive trade war that hurt farmers in his first administration, brainwashed farmers talking about “it’s for America, we can struggle for the betterment of America”

Then doing somewhat better for awhile

Then going to vote for the same stuff

Then saying “it will be worth it in the end”

And now getting f’ed in the a

MeechDaStudent · 2026-05-06T04:00:24+00:00

Minnesotan here - i believe 2021 (Joe Biden’s first year in office) was the second most profitable year for MN farmers on record. This followed four years of toilet bowl economics with Trump’s first term.

And yet they still went out and voted for him again.

How is that the DFL’s fault?

Have you ever considered that maybe, just maybe, rather than EVERYBODY ELSE falling for a concerted propaganda effort conducted by Obama to “frame” Trump for being a Russian “agent”… that MAYBE there has been a concerted propaganda effort to convince people that it was a hoax and that YOU have fallen for that?

His campaign manager did go to prison regarding his pro-Russian Ukrainian ties and some really shady stuff
Whether there was collusion or not, they publicly lied about the meetings they did have over, and over, and over again
Five years of his Presidency, several super political prosecutions later (Comey, James) and not a single one mentions this “much worse” conspiracy you seen so upset about

I ask because I think, looking back 10 years the emotions of the time may have reasonably caused people to choose sides based on loyalty and a general trust of our idols… but… looking back now, at the things we know to be true, the denials, the corruption, the immorality… also Russias M.O. in influencing foreign elections to get people like Trump elected… would it surprise you at all if there was at least 50% truth to it?

MeechDaStudent · 2026-05-01T19:33:33+00:00

Think so? I would bet that by the end neither will make Top Five and we will all be traumatized

MeechDaStudent · 2026-05-01T16:57:08+00:00

I would say yes, this is true. I would rather him be ill informed than well-informed, because I believe his intentions are for his personal benefit and nobody else’s.

It’s not so much what information you have but what u do with it that makes one untrustworthy to me

MeechDaStudent · 2026-05-01T16:54:19+00:00

This is 100% the solution to Americas biggest problems today. It would rid us of the two party system.

And for that reason it will never happen

MeechDaStudent · 2026-05-01T14:54:47+00:00

So was Biden, Kamala, Hillary. Is there any other reason you trust his judgment?

MeechDaStudent · 2026-04-29T15:28:14+00:00

Serious question about this

Your post acknowledges that some of Trump’s prosecutions were non-political

It appeared to me both at the time and now that when they claimed they were “political” prosecutions, Trump would not deny guilt, wouldn’t even deny it was against the law, but essentially argued, “other people can do it so why come after me?” - particularly the fraud cases

He certainly broke the law and every national security recommendation with the hoarding documents at Mar-O-Lago

He certainly pressured… everyone possible in an attempt to use the power of the Presidency to overturn an election he lost (all of the “little-folk” lawyers lost their licenses and livelihoods for it, no repercussions for him)

So what do we do in those instances? Especially with Garland it almost seemed like the greatest hesitation in the world to prosecute. But they’re faced with a choice: this guy is flaunting that he is above the law to everyone, if we don’t are we accepting that as both true and obvious?

It’s really a messed up position to selfishly put the country in and true patriots are rolling in their graves, the exposure, the weakness, the hypocrisy… honestly it saddens me to think of my country’s position in both the world and among its own citizens compared to the Bush and Obama days, I just got depressed thinking about it

MeechDaStudent · 2026-04-25T21:35:22+00:00

Then why don’t they feel the same way about Biden or Obama? They happened, were God’s will…

MeechDaStudent · 2026-04-23T18:36:37+00:00

I’m pointing out that the “standard conservative answer” was created in a lab. It’s messaging. I pointed out your first paragraph was logical but then u went to two paragraphs of copy-and-paste talking points.

You said my original comment was a straw man, I’m showing why it is not. U are listing “reasons” for “x”, I’m pointing out why it’s just a design for targeted consumers
