2. I live in this state.

So here's hoping this map will prevail. Our state government is reliably Democratic so we will see. Fingers crossed.

7. +100 You betcha.

[Mister Ed]

3. There oughta be a law against this sort of thing!

And I think the only way to get one is for Democrats to gerrymander the living hell out of everything they can, to counter Republican gerrymandering.

9. Yes, the days of appealing to their better nature has proven a waste of time.

11. The problem is that they've got all the purple states gerrymandered for their benefit.

While we only get the blue states. If we could at least have a level playing field in the swing states, we'd be in much better shape.

4. Normally I'd say fair redistricting is best for democracy (and it IS!).

But with several GOP states reserving the right to overturn their voters if they don't like the results, we need absolutely every vote in Congress we can get until we can secure the safety of our democracy.

But we need the John Lewis Act and the For the People Act passed.

8. THIS . Plus at least these districts don't look like crazy blobs shaped like spirals with tails

that snake across an entire state with ridiculously narrow corridors, like the ones Republicans shamelessly usually draw up.

10. Yeah, we can't afford to unilaterally disarm. This is a war for the survival of America.
