Don’t ever listen to a person bitch about gerrymandered districts. You see, they are regurgitating arguments they don’t understand. They think that competitive elections are good for democracy. They won’t say why though.
Thing is, when a House seat is gerrymandered so it is a solid +10 or so Dem or GOP, it takes a wave election to displace the otherwise safe incumbent. A “competitive” House seat, where the voting is about 50/50 between the two major parties, means that it just gives one side a bigger incentive to cheat. All it takes in a swing district is a 1% advantage in (phony) or harvested mail-in ballots to give victory to the cheater. One side tends to cheat more than the other, and we all know which party that is.
The only truly competitive elections are in suburban areas where the County Clerks are Republican. There are only about 30 of these in the whole country. If any portion of the district is in an inner city Democrat controlled area, well, then it's not a competitive district as the inner city precincts make it non-competitive.
Lastly, the Senate, which is not gerrymandered, is just as partisan and divided as the House. Entire states cannot be gerrymandered! So if somebody is complaining that gerrymandered House seats contribute to partisan rancor because "moderates" don't get elected due there being so few competitive House seats, point him to that institution called the Senate, and tell him to fuck off.
Yes, you did. What color is the sky on your planet? Here on Earth, it's blue.
So then give us in all it's Solomonic wisdom, what is your opinion on gerrymandering? Since you are failing at opacity and all.
Considering the vociferousness of your responses from the get go to the very idea that gerrymandering might gasp be an acceptable trade-off to counter election fraud, I'm vaguely curious. That is, of course, if you can put aside the silly insults and threats of violence.
Naw, you're just afraid to say (again) what your opinion is because you've argued (already) so strongly against it.
Have a good day.
You come out swinging, misread the what I wrote 2x, threaten violence, and when put on the spot to get down to brass tacks, you tap out like a little bitch, but worse, yell from the edge of the mat like you're still in the fight.
Continue to hold your breath as long as you can, then even longer.
Have the last word, sucker.
