The conspiracy echo chamber here thought the Rs would keep their majority in the House despite that huge improbability. But forgive them: They had Hillary for the win as part of the master Bildeberg plan in 2016. No they didn't. You're terribly mistaken. You're a fool, a liar and a joke.

You know, you would get a lot more people effectively arguing you if you actually brought something to the table. Go to the back of the classroom/bus/playground/whatever is not deemed racist today and play with yourself because it's as much gratitude as you'll get. Maybe Tibs or Gary will come stroke your ego.

The power of the city and population centers was offset by the Senate and the Electoral College at a national level. Gerrymandering, which benefitted the Rs in PA until recently, is a tool that both sides abuse to preserve power. It's not about reducing the influence of population centers (except when those centers don't vote your way). It encourages division and minimizes the chances for independent and moderate candidates. It's a scourge. redistricting promotes moderation, that's a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, see the thing is anytime you change any voting lines regardless of pectoral evidence in demographic or population shift its gerrymandering.

There will be a domination of one by the other based on population status. That's a basic fact of history, and why redistricting almost ALWAYS favors Democrats, and therefore not moderation, but radicalization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Redistricting" or gerrymandering lead to the salamander districts that benefitted Rs in PA. Putting voters together and letting them vote together for candidates is called, what's the word, democracy. Gerrymandered districts favor incumbents who can entrench ideologically over a long term and will never work with the other side. This isn't an R or D problem--it's an American one. It just so happened that in PA, it benefitted the Rs for a long time until this year. Gerrymandering is a plague. I can't believe you'd defend it, except that it doesn't work out for you.

Ever. I mean, look at PA's results. A moderate like Fitzpatrick almost got ousted by a RADICAL loony democrat.
