Congress and state government representatives are one per district. If you pack 90% of dems into one or two districts, that gives way more republican representation in Congress even if the overall state makeup is nearly split

......??????

Michigan should be added to this list. There have been a number of elections in the past decade where Democratic voters out number Republican voters state-wide, but you’d never know looking at the Republican legislative majorities. The gerrymandering is most egregious for the MI Senate and US Rep districts. Looking at…

This ruling needs to end with requirements to redraw ALL the districts nation wide based solely on population density. Districts should be as square and circular as geography allows.

The White House’s directive today to the Corps for further delay is just the latest in a series of overt and transparent political actions by an administration which has abandoned the rule of law in favor of currying favor with a narrow and extreme political constituency.

Conservatives deeply and truly hate liberals, though they have no rational reason why. They’re primed to believe conspiracies, the more heinous the better, because they need “facts” to back up the intensity of their emotions. Otherwise, why do they really hate Hillary that much? Nothing she’s done really warrents the…

More than 20. There’s stuff Reagan broke that still hasn’t been fixed. Best of luck, and my condolences.

Sometimes there is some debate among Syrians and lovers of Syria about showing especially horrifying photos on Twitter, Facebook, and so on. But the general feeling is that Syrians have to see these atrocities, so we should make the world look at what is being allowed to happen in Syria. You probably don’t want to…

It’s politics as Big Sportsgame. The sole point is seeing your team win, so you can get raving drunk with your buddies and cruise around denegrating everyone on the other team, then go home and pass out in a puddle of your own warm vomit.

The Planet Money podcast just did an episode in which they tracked down one of the guys who writes those fake news stories, including the one about the supposed Clinton email investigator’s suicide. He said that he originally also posted stories designed to appeal to liberals, but the articles would almost immediately…

I’m pretty certain the opportunity to avert a civil war is past. We’ve been fighting about the New Deal since its inception, about labor rights since the concept of a “union” was introduced, and about whether everyone in the States is really a citizen since the Civil Rights Act.

“Pizzagate” is a bizarre conspiracy theory. I heard a bit about it online a little while ago, so I Googled it. I ended up on this page detailing the “conspiracy” and it legitimately looked like the ramblings of a paranoid schizophrenic. I don’t mean that to be insulting - there seemed to be something truly wrong with…

It’s a fact that internet has been available, though spotty at times. The availability of the internet in Aleppo has been reported about in the media WIDELY. What’s your point, anyways? Are you trying to convince people that Syria is fine? Are you trying to convince people that they should not feel empathy, sympathy,…

There isn’t anything controversial about offering a conspiracy theory and citing an American satire from 1997.

Russian propaganda - maybe, but that’s what ‘Murica would have you believe.

You’re citing a fucking Deniro movie as some kind of “proof” to back up your argument? Get the fuck out of here, shit for brains.

It’s not a controversial post because there is no fact to it.

You come off as a doofus. Nobody has any legally protected rights to post on Univisions websites and it’s easy to get internet access without wires (and to purchase access on the black market).

There are videos of her in east Aleppo, both at home and with known Aleppo activists, so guess what? You’re dead wrong and shitting out Russian propaganda. And dismissing Syrian rebels as terrorists is racist as fuck. Your ISIS/CIA thing is straight-up tin foil hat bullshit—Daesh’s history is well-known, idiot, and…
