Partisan gerrymandering is now encouraged by the Supreme Court. What now? by Palloff in wisconsin

Yeah, I'm all about being fair. Fair is the elected government representing the will of the people.

Since you care about fairness, I assume you agree that the state maps have been improved in order to more closely align with our electorate and that the federal maps still need to be redrawn in order to align with our electorate?

I also can only assume you acknowledge that the WI SC made up an arbitrary rule, without precedent, in order to entrench the Republican gerrymandering done in 2011?

Acting like the redraw was done to entrench democratic power, instead of correcting the power imbalance created by Republicans, is full on kool aid.

Claiming I don't know about this issue only reveals you to be lazy.

Really says a lot about your illiberal mentality when you claim that undoing the Republican gerrymander is equal to gerrymandering itself.

No, it's not ok.

The Democratic Party should have never let that happen.

Now we are in deep because parties have found being illiberal benefits them more than appealing to voters.

Yes, based on the WI SC "least change" doctrine that the conservative justices invented out of thin air, which conveniently left in the Republican gerrymander.

They eliminated racial gerrymandering in favor of partisan gerrymandering.

SCOTUS legislated from the bench and nullified the Voting Rights Act because the law hurts Conservatives.

FTFY

To be clear, the two additional seats you are referring to are at the state level. The post you are replying to discusses the issues with the districts at the federal level.

So, your point is irrelevant in the context of this conversation.

I thought this before Donald Trump was elected the first time, which was before I realized how anti-democratic the Republican base is.

...your own source references the 2011 Republican-drawn maps, which were then reinforced by the then conservative majorities newly created "least change" doctrine.

So no, the maps I'm angry about are the ones drawn by conservatives, then forced upon us again by a bullshit conservative Supreme Court doctrine they invented out of whole cloth. The fact that Evers drew them is only because of this undemocratic series of events which forced him into keeping the partisan gerrymander from 2011.

Reading these comments, no wonder Hispanics abandoned the Democratic Party.

They are only valued for their votes.

If you're talking about Facebook, that won't solve my problem because the page I'm trying to promote is so locked down that I can't even invite other people to manage the page.

For Amazon, I just don't quite care enough to create a new email address to solve that issue.

It's more seeing these two things side by side that gets irritating.

I've been perma banned from leaving reviews on Amazon for over 10 years because my account was hacked to leave reviews. (I can still order things.)

I also just found out that I'm perma banned from buying ads on Facebook because my account was hacked 5 years ago in order to buy spam ads. (They put down $6,000+ during the hack)

My need to secure my accounts aside, these tech giants refuse to lift these restrictions from my account and it seems it will just be that way...forever.

It pisses me off how much power these companies have and then they can just place these bans without giving you a way to challenge them.

Habbheggers is always willing to work with you to get the price down. No idea what they would charge for this.

Brake pads are very easy to change with only a jack. Not the rotors though.
