First off, I’m kind of miffed that they stole the color red from us. Red is traditionally the color of the left. Democratic states were most often red until the 2000 theft when the corporate media decided Republicans were uniformly red.

Be that as it may, are there any states that are controlled by Democrats and that aren’t already Democratic all the way through? Which states are there in which this gerrymandering can be done?

I’m all for doing it but can it feasibly happen? I’m not seeing where it can happen. Illinois maybe?

Michigan can't gerrymander. We did away with it in 2018 by Prop 2 that took it out of the hands of the catbyte Oct 2025 #14

I supported prop 2 in Michigan, because at the time Republicans were in control and gerrymandering everything Jack Valentino Oct 2025 #20
