In reply to the discussion: MAGA Erupts After 'Disgusting' Blow to Trump [View all]fujiyamasan
(1,904 posts)14. What a disingenuous piece of shit
These idiots are out there whining about liberal hypocrisy. I dont think they have any idea what the word even means.
Had Texas not approached mid decade redistricting, neither California or Virginia would have followed through on this. Hell, both state referendums arent enacting these permanently.
Many democratic states have for years tried to make the process fairer, by giving power to independent commissions. Not a single republican state has done the same.
Im not saying democratic states dont gerrymander, but not to the extent republicans have weaponized the process.
