No offense Ag, but I have never heard your defense of why gerrymandering districts so that politicians can absolutely and in total safety ignore any good ideas of the other side - and also be safe to refuse to seek bipartisan compromise (to avoid being primaried by MAGA or a pissed off Trump) is a good thing.
That sounds to me as valid as building our next generation battlefield tank out of grass. I mean, I’ve never been in the military, and I’m not an engineer, but there is also a basic common sense/human experience thing that whispers in my ear - even on subjects of which I am not well-versed.
If you don’t wanna give it a go in public feel free to private message me. I promise not to share our discussion and to engage in a polite and respectful way. But I admit to not being able to conjure one good thing that would come of that system of fully gerrymandered districts - at least not without seeing your input.
The offer is genuine.
Nm. I should’ve read to the bottom of the thread again. I thank you for saying that you like that idea, but you failed to say how it avoids the problems I specifically mentioned.
It’s kind of like me asking why you think all muscle cars should have four-cylinder engines, and you reply more cars should be cheaper and painted red. Well, those two things are absolutely legitimate standalone propositions, they don’t address the obvious problem with putting a four-cylinder engine in a muscle car.
