Thornton Melon Posted February 5 Posted February 5 11 hours ago, Engorgeous George said: I recall my social studies teacher having a segment on gerrymandering back in 1971. I seem to recall the term and the concept went back to teh early 1800's out in Boston or New York, not sure which anymore as memory fades for matters from 55 years ago.. It was the Merrimack Valley/North Shore area of Massachusetts Quote

But sheep like @Reality are often incapable of understanding nuance. Quote

Even utilt99 and HT can sputter out some idiotic original thought occasionally. Reality just looks through X to find something to parrot and then comes here and does it. 4 Quote

You guys have maxed out liberal states and then because Texas does it now you’re like oh you guys are so wrong for this. Lol I think it's funny (or sad), that they don't realize that Texas did what they did, because of California. Quote

But you could say MA is currently gerrymandered into a flaming blue gerrymander shaped like the state of Massachusetts. Quote

I know you like calling out people for making sweeping generalizations he called you a Chihuahua. Again you and Ron have this weird thing where you like to call to the board to come help you for your terrible takes. And they never do.
