People who encourage such things are trying to dilute the Democratic Party, and in states where such things are taken into account, this could also affect how districts are redrawn which would ALSO dilute or weaken the influence of the Democratic party.

All I'm saying is that ANYTHING that serves to weaken or divide or dilute the strength the DEMOCRATIC PARTY is something that ONLY BENEFITS the Republicans and Russia.

When it comes to national elections, we are a two party system. Until that changes, anything that anyone does to undermine the Democrats only serves to help the Republicans.
