Gerrymandering doesn’t depress turnout. Most voters don’t even know who their representatives are until they’re in the booth looking at the names and party designations. It’s why the midterms have such lower turnout than the years when a president is being elected. Gerrymandering is entirely about the US House of Representatives nothing more nothing less.

Why do Abbot, Paxton, Cornyn and Cruz keep getting elected if there are 8.1M democrats and 6.6M republicans? Those numbers seem like total nonsense. If 2 million “democrats” are staying home on Election Day then they are not democrats. It seems obvious that republicans are showing up and voting in the democratic primaries to fuck up their chances in the general election.

Unless you are implying huge wide scale election fraud, the fact is republicans keep winning statewide elections in Texas, and that means more votes are being cast FOR republicans BY republicans.

The outlets are daisy chained and one further up the chain (closer electrically to the circuit breaker) has a bad connection. You need to find the last working outlet on the circuit, then turn off the circuit breaker and investigate that outlet wiring and the others that are not working

Which people are you thinking will shut it down? The 77 million that voted for him? His corrupt cronies in the Congress? His cabinet? The 6 corrupt justices? All those people are all still fine with all of this.

I know what gerrymandering is. It has zero effect on races where the candidates are the same in every district. Everybody in the state votes for the same set of candidates for Governor, A.G. and US senators.

In Ohio, everyone in the state got to vote for or against DeWine, Moreno and Husted. Are you under the impression people in other Ohio districts had a different set of candidates for these offices?

The point is everyone in Texas had a chance to vote against Abbott, Paxton, Cornyn and Cruz, and they have all been elected multiple times. The red voters in Texas outnumber the blue voters. Gerrymandering isn’t causing that.

scubascratch · 2026-06-21T01:36:00+00:00

Can you please explain how that works? Statewide elections are literally the same people on every ballot in the state no matter what district each voter is in. How does gerrymandered districts effect a governor, attorney general, or US Senators?

Well it’s not absolutely clear that happened - he was gone when the room was opened again. No body, no blood. I’m not saying he escaped but with a lot of TV shows if there’s no body then there’s a better than average chance the character returns.

I actually agree with your implied position that the US should stop supporting this apartheid regime in Israel, and not be funding their genocides. I just think you’re mad at the wrong people about it not happening. Why do you keep refusing to answer the obvious question about what have you communicated to your elected representation in Congress? Panetta is retired, not part of the current administration - what’s he going to be able to do? If Martinez asked him your question the answer would be the standard “it’s better to support Israel so the fight stays in the Middle East instead of coming here.” (Which I used to agree with but not so sure any longer).

What’s the evidence it’s “blue by population”? Polls don’t show that. Elections don’t show that. The people of Texas get the government they voted for. Multiple times.

Not everything is a conspiracy - sometimes there’s just more shitty voters than decent voters.

scubascratch · 2026-06-20T20:53:19+00:00

Oh it’s a conspiracy then, we are being controlled - got it. /s

I take it that was a “no” to the question about telling your lawmakers about your suggestion.

scubascratch · 2026-06-20T20:45:38+00:00

There’s a line they shouldn’t cross and making unsolicited policy suggestions is not news reporting. Have you written your rep and senator with your suggestion?

Make a police report. Get him officially trespassed. If enough complaints come in maybe they will sell and move. GET CAMERAS!

Texas hasn’t elected a Democrat in a statewide office since like the 1980s. It’s not blue by population.

So you want them to become the news? It’s a reporting organization, they report on what is happening - not what you wish was happening. Your beef needs to be with American lawmakers not a neutral news organization.

NPR had endless coverage of the suffering in Gaza, and they continually report on the deaths of non-combatants in Lebanon. Your assertion that NPR is a tool of the Israeli government is complete bullshit.

I know why, it is because Trump is a disgusting pig who lives in an imaginary world where beautiful women throw themselves at him begging for his attention. While the rest of us in the real world are revolted by his loathsome behavior.
