and both sides turn voting into a joke?

The Missouri House has OVERWHELMING passed their new U.S. Congressional map, 90-65, cutting Democrats down to ONE SEAT
Republicans are set to gain ANOTHER seat in the US House
EVERY Republican state should be following suit!

but its not satire

Can't really even have a debate on this topic until SCOTUS deems racial gerrymandering unconstitutional in June and see if it all gets reversed across the country before November.

The Democrats are the party of Murder.

Why isn't Ted in here explaining again the horrors of U.S. Senators elected through gerrymandering. Or maybe Hank Johnson can fill us in.

It's called tactics, stupid.

Now SCOTUS gets to look at both sides doing it and it won't seem as if it's just another Republican power grab when SCOTUS puts an end to it once and for all next June.

Be Nice. Don't be a dick.

Yeah... Those 5 seats are for show. They don't matter. Republicans won't even need them if nothing changed.

But after the SCOTUS ruling on this in June, as well as the end of mail-in-ballots, drop boxes, ballot harvesting as well as finally enforcing photo ID verification for voting, Democrats will never win another important election again.
