Gerrymandering is trivial to defeat. Gerrymandering creates a small number of ultra safe opposing seats, and a large number of actually very marginal friendly seats as they spread out just enough people to cover the very divided seats while herding the opposition into a few seats that are now ultra safe, but small in

Medical care is a right, not a privilege. And yes, it should be readily available to all and suggesting people move rather than stay and have these rights available isn’t right.

Because taking population away from a Blue State in favor of a Red State only means more gerrymandered House of Reps from Red States at the expense of progressives from Blue States. 

The problem with this take is the insane states have become so good at gerrymandering that all increases in their population do is help ensure the House of Reps will never have a progressive majority. 

If you live in a nice safe blue state and care about abortion, why don’t you move to a red state and vote there?

Stop telling people in red states to move, start telling people in blue states to move to red states. Remember the lessons of Bleeding Kansas, where whole families picked up and moved into an actual warzone to ensure the state flipped the way they wanted.

I grew up in a very red state (which I did eventually move out of as an adult), and I always hated that logic. People just boil huge geographic areas down to “blue” or “red” and forget that even in my deep red home state, like 40% of the votes were against Republicans.

It must be pretty shitty having put together a solid long-form piece like this only to have the misfortune of it being published right on the heels of last night’s leaked SCOTUS draft.

At this point, I doubt civilization itself survives to this this bullshit reversed. Either we get a landslide supermajority of people willing to do the work, or we can hang up this whole democracy thing.

I’d put more money on the latter than the former.

Mr. Moderator, Sister Cruz, brothers and sisters, friends and enemies: I just can’t believe everyone in here is a friend, and I don’t want to leave anybody out. The question tonight, as I understand it, is “The Women’s Revolt, and Where Do We Go From Here?” or What Next?” In my little humble way of understanding it,

It starts with Roe and Casey. They’ll return abortion to the states and create a patchwork quilt of laws that will result in chaos and a body count of desperate women who will be forced to turn to back-alley providers. The next time they have power, they’ll push for national abortion bans, or bans at 6 weeks or 15

Alito actually explicitly says Lawrence v. Texas and Obergefell v. Hodges were incorrectly decided as per the same logic as this ruling in this opinion.

Then you are stupid. There is literally nothing the Democrats could’ve done that wouldn’t have resulted in this as it is not about actual Constitutionality, but about the religious beliefs of these 5 justices. Any law would’ve been overturned.  This has been the plan.

Huh? Any rights codified by Congress can be taken away by Congress. Therefore, if Democrats had tried to push through a bill establishing abortion rights, it undermines the idea from Roe and Casey that abortion rights are inherent within the constitution, and basically would have given credence to conservative

I’m actually shocked they stop at six weeks, for one.

It was Oviedo. You know, the place with official signs telling you to beware of the feral chickens.

It was Orlando, not YeeHaw Junction.

Probably - alligators are known for their ferocious dedication to nudism.
