Have a serious question

@Thinkerbell You're still going around and around fighting against windmills, ignoring the very data that show that the GOP is the one that benefits the most from arbitrary redistricting. For every point of advantage given by California you have at least three as much from Texas, North Carolina and the alike. You just selectively ignore what you don't want to see - like that chart.

If popular vote (= each ballot counts as one, regardless from where it's cast), per your own official data, there would've hardly been Republican mandates during the present century. That's the only thing that matters. That's all the evidence you need to assert that yes, gerrymandering and any other shenanigans to make certain ballots carry a different weight than others benefit Republicans and not Democrats.

You can go on and on, just like the Russians go on and on with bullsh*t to assert that "poor" Putin is a good man victim of evil western powers, nobody sane of mind and especially external observers will drink it.

@Elessar



The bogus "data" show nothing of the kind, as I have shown you three times now, and you have dodged as often.

1. Why do the "data" not mention California?
2. Why do the "data" misrepresent New York?
3. Why do the "data" misrepresent Illinois?

You have no rational answer.

@Thinkerbell There isn't a worse deaf than the one that doesn't want to hear.

Who tends to win electoral college votes, but not the popular vote? Republicans. Who tend to win popular vote (= one ballot counted as one, regardless of the district), but not the electoral college? Democrats. That's not debatable, election results are public.

The data corroborate what's already publicly visible. You don't like it because it hurts your feelings, yet it's perfectly validated by observable reality. For every advantage point given by California to team blue you have at least three as many given by Texas et al to team red. You're very much like the average Russian that keeps telling me that Putin is a good man painted in a bad light by western media, even when he's openly taking down hospitals and schools with missiles. You gotta be hella brainwashed to support such a hypothesis against all observable reality, yet here we are. Kinda weird how the former USA and the former USSR have now become "brothers" in the same flavors of oligarchy and mass delusion.

If California and other blue states were *really* gerrymandered, or anyway just as much as Texas and others, the GOP would never win the house in the foreseeable future. They didn't do it because they've been stupidly fixated with playing fair and "taking the high road" bullsh*t (see e.g. Biden nominating Garland of all people as the AG). The very reason you're terrified of Mamdani and the rest of the social dem wing, is because unlike the establishment, they may actually want to break such a dumb tradition and instead fight fire with fire.

@Thinkerbell I remember that it was an Italian partisan, likely a communist, and not NATO to hang Mussolini. I remember a certain organization was called "La Resistenza" and not "NATO committee for the liberation of Italy". Without the involvement of Italian left-wingers it's even debatable if the Allies (which, as the name suggest, was a coalition of multiple countries not just USians alone) could *land* on the peninsula.

Yeah good luck hanging legally the guy that had complete control on the law. 🤣 I guess you've deposed Saddam with flowers, a formal request and democratically instead

Also rich coming from the country that nuked two cities

@Elessar

Are you drunk? This is absurd even by your standards. 🙄

When he was captured, Mussolini had no control over anything. He could have been turned over to the legal Italian government in Rome, who after the end of WW2 tried and convicted many fascists.

Caesar Augustus must be turning over in his grave. 😂


P.S. NATO didn't exist in 1945; it wasn't formed until 1949.

@SomeMichGuy yawn

@GuidanceCounselor Yes, do. It's so much easier than dealing with real facts.
