Actually, REDMAP was created in 2010, specifically because that census was being done and released for redrawing district lines that year. They focused on purple states so they could manipulate those for their electoral gains. They already had red states and weren’t going to get the blue states so the purple states…

The Democrats are a competent alternative. The problem is, the Republicans cheat. They cheat with gerrymandering, cheat with Russian interference via fake emails and leaks, cheat with voting fraud laws and screwing with the voting process, and cheat with not one, but two Comey letter releases at very specific critical…

On one hand, after the last election, Democrats (but especially women everywhere) are pissed off because the polling told everyone Hillary was a sure bet and it didn’t turn out that way. On the other hand, people like Trump but don’t like the Republicans. So if Trump shits on them, they won’t turn out for the…

Eric Holder is actually working on counteracting the gerrymandering with his own project and Obama has stated one of his future goals is actually fighting it as well. The Democrats are not ignoring it. I don’t think they’re broadcasting their plans because the Republicans might figure out how to counteract it.

He....bankrupted....THREE....casinos. He didn’t just do it once, he didn’t do it twice, he tripled down on what is essentially a money-printing scheme (if you know what you’re doing) and fucked up every single time.

There’s a possible reason for that—-he might have problems with unfamiliar places (potential symptom of Alzheimers, which his father died of) so he has to fly back to the familiar places to cope in general.

Well, it really depends on how the Freedom Caucus reacts to the Senate version. They may well throw a shit fit. Gerrymandering only helps House elections but not Senate elections since they have to represent the whole state so they can’t afford to alienate their voters. The Democrats and Freedom Caucus in the House…

Not necessarily——Jon Ossoff actually outperformed his polling in a red district that had been gerrymandered twice by the Republican state legislature and almost won it outright (48. something where you need 50 percent to win it) and his Republican opponent only managed to get just under 20 percent. The Republican…

You can actually counteract that----elect Democrats on the local and state level everywhere. It was Republicans elected to the state legislatures that fixed the game in their favor in terms of gerrymandering and the next gerrymandering session is after the 2020 census. Don’t just get mad, GET EVEN. Get democrats…

I think she actually asked for permission from the majority whip to be one of the ones to say no, and hedge her bets. It wasn’t just her, it was everyone involved—-they conspired to get just enough votes to get this turd of a bill through. The majority whip counts the votes and actually made sure there was a maximum…

There were buses waiting outside to take them to the White House for the ceremony. They aired the footage.

Tell them if they still vote for them even after this, they’re basically evil (say it as nice as you can but really make them understand it). They’re literally voting for a culling of the most vulnerable groups in this country. They made rape a pre-existing condition. That makes it much harder for people to report it…

They are at work. Not a single one of them voted for that piece of shit bill. They can only do so much if people can’t send more of them back to defend this country. They sang because that’s what the Republicans did when they signed the unpopular tax bill back in the early 90s, knowing this would hurt the Democrats’…

The Senate can pass their own version, and if they want to pass it without a filibuster, they can do that via reconcilation which means it has to be budget/revenue neutral, or not cost anyone anything. Since Republicans want nothing more than tax cuts, this means cuts to benefits for a lot of people. Bigger tax cuts,…

11 states have more than 30 percent dependent on Medicaid and Medicare....and they all went for Trump. Good luck to them.

Her district went for Clinton by 5 points. Trump can’t help her there, the Republicans hate him. Too many people are pissed off by the election that they are far more motivated than ever to vote in every election than ever before, including the upcoming 2018 elections.

Gerrymandering already favors the Republicans in terms of the House elections, but doesn’t help the Senators since they have to represent the whole state. More Democratic senators are up for re-election than Republicans but there will be a few that might be in danger of losing their seats. Don’t forget that Jeff…

It’s worse. This will actually undermine and depress rape reports because they’ll now be afraid to lose their coverage as a result. This is now a consequence.

Her district went for Clinton by 5 points. She’s in trouble now.

The Democrats know this is exactly what happened after the ACA passed---they’re expecting history to repeat itself with the Republicans being voted out the same way the Democrats were by the Tea Party and Republicans, ironically enough, for the ACA vote.
