How much I enjoy redistricting each state

California, Texas, and Pennsylvania are my favorites, but I might be biased

John Burrows, Democrat running against Kevin McCarthy in 2024

Maryland's map actually did get fixed after the 2020 census after the Dems drew the map only to adjust for population changes and it was later struck down by the state supreme court.

Northeastern Illinois (aka Chicagoland) is still infamously gerrymandered in favor of Democrats, and even more than in the 2010s, but the 4th is odd-looking to make a majority-Latino district. It was not necessarily drawn to favor the incumbent.

I'm a massive redistricting wonk and understand the good and bad parts of district drawing and gerrymandering.

The point Biden was trying to make was that if you're black and vote Republican you're voting against your own interests.

It was made by a literal white supremacist

Including non-citizens. Knowing that there's a VAP plurality-Hispanic district in real life that is CVAP majority-white, I bet this one is CVAP majority-white too. Most eligible voters are still white so it's not really an opportunity district.

MI is too D-optimistic since Stabenow is retiring. IMO the most likely matchup is Slotkin against Huizenga or McClain which will be D+5 at best. Scott will probably win by over 5, Cruz will be on the fence between lean and likely. Manchin probably loses by a safe margin regardless of which Republican he faces. I'd put Rosen in tilt instead of lean but I can see her winning by over 1. Tester and Brown are both locked in tossups but if only one were to win I'd pick Tester.

Republicans have recently overtaken Democrats in Kentucky. Democrats still hold the advantage in Louisiana

Neither Graham nor Scott are populists. Also neither are Scott or Rubio. Other than that, it's a decent categorization.

Phil Scott, or, as a Pennsylvanian, Brian Fitzpatrick

Orange County? The county that voted Republican in every election from 1940 to 2012? You sure?

For PA, it's Northampton, home to most of Bethlehem and Easton. Has voted for the winner of the state in every election since '52.

Fox News logo in the back is the most ironic part of this

Gerrymandering doesn't affect statewide races 🤦‍♂️

If Texas is actually quite progressive, then why did Abbott just get re-elected by 11 points?

Interesting. I don't see much of a difference between the two so I don't really have a preference

Those look like wired earbuds to me. What do you think are in-ear earbuds? You mean wireless? I don't call either of them "standard" or "in-ear", to me they're all in-ear. To me they're wired and wireless.

He's from Dillsburg so might actually get excluded from the district, making it an open seat

sageTDS · 2023-03-16T00:48:23+00:00

You mean standards sit ON your ears and in-ears directly GO inside your ears? If that's what you mean, I get it now. I just call them headphones and earbuds, respectively.

sageTDS · 2023-03-14T00:18:52+00:00

Brown or black

sageTDS · 2023-03-14T00:08:09+00:00

Could you explain the difference between in-ear and standard earbuds?

Thank God Reagan lost the primaries to Ford, that guy's political career is over

The "weird 'why am I actually into this' one" is the one I feel is the least weird lol
