I wasn’t sure where you were going to go with this. No one is saying that gerrymandering doesn’t exist, but even in most of the most heavily gerrymandered districts, Dems could win if only enough of them would get off their asses to vote. When HALF the country doesn’t show up, upping your numbers by even a small amount can swing elections where Republicans like to stack the cards on their side. This is especially true on mid term years where Dems are notorious for not showing up, so they lose representation in Congress.
And yet, they keep winning congressional seats and Mayoral races. I wonder why that is… /s
Because they VOTE. While regular people will use any excuse to skip out of going to the polls.
I’m not sure that’s the entire reason.
If this is going to be some conspiracy theory nonsense, then you can just go ahead and keep it to yourself.
Politics isn’t quite easy, but it isn’t really that difficult either. It’s kind of like sports - you get the most points you win.
Oh, no conspiracy, just actual Republicans found guilty of illegal gerrymandering, while also applying all kinds of tactics for voter suppression. If Politics is like sports, some of the Republicans are cheating.
