    How is gerrymandering a rural vs urban issue?

    Gerrymandering is certainly about the minority political philosophy obtaining and maintaining a disproportionate political voice.  In our time that  correlates closely with rural voters maintaining a disproportionate representation over urban voters.  The point is that in an effort to make sure rural voters are not run over by urban voters, our system gives rural voters disproportionate representation in ALL 3 branches of government.  Getting rid of the EC would give urban voters ONE branch of government with PROPORTIONAL representation while maintaining rural DISPROPORTIONATE representation in the House and Senate.  The Supreme Court would then have equal influence by both rural and urban voters:

    This reminds me of playing board games with my young children. As soon as they realize one of their siblings will win the game, why it’s simply the rules’ fault. This silly idea of abolishing the Electoral College reeks of sore loser. 

    Pretty sure the “rules” state that if a clause in the Constitution is deemed to by outdated, that there is a mechanism for abolishing that clause.  That is what is being discussed.

    We are at the point where Trumpism rules all for right wingers.  Doesn't matter what he says.  He could trash Texas A&M University, shit on their sacred grass, and shoot Reveille, and texags would still love him.

    If he shit on the sacred grass and shot Reveille... I think I might learn to love him.

    Speaking of.

    MIL was talking to my spouse this past weekend.

    MIL said the only reason the Boeing planes were grounded was because the Democrats insisted.  It was entirely their fault, and it all tied into their Green New Deal.

    If your MIL can get 200 or so of her trumpkin friends together, I am willing to start a GoFund me to charter one of those grounded 737 max planes to fly them around the world.  Tell her it will totally own the libs.

    Is it your position that laws criminalizing certain behaviors are pointless?

    Don't you see?   Guns specifically designed to kill as many people as possible in as short a time as possible don't kill people.  Furthermore only criminals break laws.  Therefore outlawing anything guarantees that law abiding citizens are the only ones affected while criminals are not affected.  Therefore outlawing anything is a useless exercise and won't prevent anything.  This is why nuclear arms and grenades should be legal.  These weapons don't kill anyone, and a criminal is going to break any laws they want so why burden a good citizen from not having a tactical nuc ??

    The GOP senators who voted with Trump on this emergency resolution are going to feel pretty stupid when President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez starts issuing orders.

     

    Several have already stated that they are FIRMLY against any future (dem) president using these powers and they are willing to support legislation to prove it (as long as it isn’t retroactive or can be applied to trump).
