  1. Ok? And? Your map is showing that Red states are less gerrymandered than Blue states... Hint: Green is Very gerrymandered...Red is less gerrymandered. Eight of those states in your pic are Red states. And I will disagree with Maryland since they're 7-1 Democrat (88%)...
  2. No... They went to public schools in Texas...but one of the GOOD parts of Texas.
  3. I also have 22 grandkids...
  4. You realize that most of those "gerrymandered" states only have 1 to 2 representatives, right? And that goes to both the right and the left. Vermont is not gerrymandered because it's 100% Democrat. It only has 1 representative. It's either 100% Democrat or 100% Republican. Since most of their citizens lean Democratic, their Representation is 1-0 Dem. Similarly, North Dakota only has 1 representative is not gerrymandered because it's 100% Republican. It only has 1 representative. It's either 100% Democrat or 100% Republican. Since most of their citizens lean Republican, their Representation is 1-0 Rep. It's not rocket surgery...
  5. I only try to discuss the subjects that have been presented to me. Bozo hasn't brought the taxation system of Texas up. I have not stated whether I think the current Texas taxing system is optimal or good. That is a different discussion that should be a different thread.
  6. JFC...yeah...it was... Raising 9 kids was a shit ton of work. But, I got them all to adulthood. And they're all good kids.
  7. Meh... I've done OK in life.
  8. Why would this be a joke? Democrat run states are more gerrymandered than Republican run states.
  9. And you're one of the reasons why this site is nothing but a burnt orange democratunderground echo chamber. Congrats, I guess???
  10. Meh... I changed it from my avatar that was on shaggy/hornfans that was kind of a joke on my school... I'll change it so that the sand will get out of your vag...
  11. I have 9 kids. That's where it comes from. hth
  12. I don't like how many states have apportioned their voting structure. HOWEVER, I also don't think that the right should acquiesce to the fact that the left has "gerrymandered" or "partisan apportioned" their legislatures to be more partisan than the right. And are now demanding "fairness"... The right should return the favor and get on an even field and THEN negotiate to change things. Otherwise, they're doing every election with AT LEAST one hand tied behind their back Hell, blue states are apportioned at 79% Democrat. Red states are at 76% Republican. IF Texas gets 5 more seats, the red states STILL won't be at 79%. Tell YOUR side to change first since you don't like the way the districts are set up... BTW, to answer your original question...Yes, I'm OK. Thanks for asking.
  13. They have one... And their "nonpartisan" redistricting commission gerrymandered the state to 83%-17% when the state votes 59%-39%...
  14. My consideration of party support had to do with how a state voted. CA voted Harris 58.47% Trump 38.33%. Their legislature should be close to representing that ratio. However, it's currently 83%-17% A state that votes 55-65%-45-35% for X party should have a state legislature and US House representation somewhere around those values. Unfortunately, you will NEVER be able to do a NON gerrymandered map. Look at every single state - the rural areas are bright red. WHY? Because they have "conservative values" (however you want to define those)... But, then you get to the urban areas and that's why you have the "salamanders" crawling all over them. And you want, I forgot what you called it, but I think "communities of interest" or something like that to be linked. I don't think I ever argued against that. People in urban or even suburban areas don't live where they live to fit some type of good "district map"... My whole point has been that the legislature makeup should match the voting makeup. How do you propose that districts be drawn up that ONLY reflect "communities of interest" and yet allow the majority in the state to have their voting "power" be reflected in a way that actually works?
  15. California has their Congressional representation at 83% Democrat/17% Republican. Illinois has it at 82%/18%. New York is at 73%/27%. All 3 have now discussed doing ADDITIONAL gerrymandering in response to the Texas effort. All of those states vote around 58%-55% Democrat. Spare me your outrage.... And damn you for dragging me back here to talk about politics...
