Regarding SCOTUS giving partisan Gerrymandering their blessing: Non-Clinton voters,

YOU OWN THIS. All of it. Every last one of you "principled" Stein voters, Bernie-or-busters, and I'm sitting this one out-ers, this is on you. It's 100 percent your fault when Democrats get more votes yet lose House seats. Ditto for every state legislature that goes Republican in a state won overall by Democrats. And a big hearty FUCK YOU from me, personally.

Reason: in cases of divided government (such as Wisconsin which has a Democratic Governor but Republican state legislature) new maps will be drawn by...guess who... the state Supreme Court. And the current Wisconsin Supreme Court has a 5-2 Republican majority, thanks to Wisconsin Democrats' unwillingness to get off their asses and vote in spring elections.

...to vote for HRC, no matter what deficiencies one might have thought her to have. And all the rest of the judicial appointments. I will never forgive any of those turncoats.
