Oh, you don’t wanna talk about voting records anymore after you just whined about blind loyalty and turned out you voted for Trump more than I have?

You can read. I went back and said concentrated. If you wanna bite ankles about concentrated gerrymandering versus overall have at it. 
 

You spent two days now gnashing your little tiny dog teeth over verbiage even though you know it happens extensively in blue states especially metros.

It happens extensively in both blue and red states, it is not “far far more“ in blue states.    I guess this is the closest you’ll come to admitting you were wrong.

Sorry I couldn’t read it. I was so disgusted by your blind loyalty to Trump voting for him three times.

Well your comment about the “x-factor” didn’t even make sense, as @Reality was not even replying to me with his comment similar to yours expressing a secret desire for a homosexual lover (NTTAWWT)

gerrymandering should be illegal

counties of 750k should have a rep, counties of less than 1 mil should partner with other countries to make a coalition of 750k

The house should be expanded and districting handled by independent, bipartisan committees. Take the population of the smallest state, and that becomes the population cutoff for a single district. Some of these districts are immense population-wise compared to others. Wyoming voters have far more say proportionally than those in CA, TX, or NY.

@cyclone24:   Dem states gerrymander far far more

me and @Fnord:  no they don’t.  Here’s some data showing this

@cyclone24: Whatabout Illinois?

@Fnord: yes Illinois is gerrymandered.   Blue states do gerrymander, but not far far more than red states

@cyclone24: I’m not going to sleep with you! yo quiero Taco Bell!

 

 

just about sums up trying to have an adult conversation with most GC righties

 

I've posted it here before, but here's a real good look at the lengths the GOP went to gerrymander.

Project REDMAP

REDMAP (short for Redistricting Majority Project) is a project of the Republican State Leadership Committee of the United States to increase Republican control of congressional seats, as well as state legislatures, largely through manipulating electoral district boundaries. The project has made effective use of partisan gerrymandering by relying on previously unavailable mapping software, such as Caliper Corporation's Maptitude to improve the precision with which district lines are strategically drawn.[1] The strategy was focused on swing blue states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin, where there was a Democratic majority, but which they could swing towards Republican with appropriate redistricting. The project was launched in 2010 and estimated to have cost the Republican party around US$30 million.[2]

And North and South Dakota should be turned into one state. There are more people in the city of Phoenix than those two states combined.  And most of them talk funny, so there's that.

I went out last night. It wasn’t on here. You should try it sometime. Try not to bite my ankles over it.

You should go out more often

I dunno... From a political standpoint you're right. But from a geographical POV, North Dakota is 100% suckage, and South Dakota is mostly suckage, other than the Black Hills. Combining them would probably create the suckiest state that ever sucked, beating out KS, OK, IA, and NE. There's obviously too much suck in the upper midwest already.

You have no idea lol. Fact. Damn kids. 
 

Actually, I’m going out again tonight. I’m donating probably around 10 grand worth of soccer gear to a club over on the other side of town so the guy’s gonna buy me a beer. Ha

Agree. And Rhode Island and Delaware should be combined with Mass and Maryland.

which state has the least reps? but I agree, although why districts, why not counties that qualify

I dont see why los angeles should get 10 reps regardless though

Vermont, Rhode Island, Maine and New Hampshire have less people than Phoenix as well. Let’s play.

It’s weird that like a half dozen posters seem to think I have a “crush” on them (I’d add @Strike, @jerryskids, @BrahmaBulls & @Reality off the top of my head).  No, none of you are special.  You just are among the most commonly found to be wrong or lying.

You're like the weird kid in 3rd grade who flirts with girls by hitting them, only you use the @ instead of your hands

I can't support that.  I could go for renaming them Upper and Lower Dakota.  I would also be fine if during Black History Month we referred to the Black Hills as the African American Hills.

[dogcows 1,621]

I just saw the proposed Virginia gerrymander. It’s very bad news for Republicans.

Its starting to feel like the Republican plan to gerrymander mid-cycle is going to backfire badly.

Maybe all this will lead to Congress passing national rules limiting gerrymanders.
