Eight states with complete Republican disenfranchisement

[Care4all]

So well educated, and well off they have to cheat eh?

Sounds like Bullshit to me…You and Mac1958 should stick to trying to convince us all how you’re not Democrats…idiot.

Have republicans cheated in Texas with their representative districts?

 

[HikerGuy83]

No not disputing democrats have 8 states with no Republicans.

Are you aware that there are 11 Republican states that have no, zero, zip Democratic representatives?

Representatives | house.gov

www.house.gov

Yes.

Of course, a state like Wyoming is pretty meaningless in that regard.

But, I don't recall telling anyone they were in a cult for pointing that out.

Why did you ?

 

[HikerGuy83]

Really?

Yes, really.

Have republicans cheated in Texas with their representative districts?

Nope…

 

[White 6]

You sound like an arrogant atheist.

You mean by quoting Linked facts related to the 8 state American Stinker essay?
What was atheistic about that? You do know what the word means, don't you?

Why? Did Mac disparage the American Stinker article, too? I have noticed, the right does not take kindly to Independents being Independent. Trump does only slightly better with Independents than with Democrats, only receiving about 44% of the Independent vote that participated in the last election. Central rule, just does not appeal to the Independent mind. We prefer the constitution and rule of law.

Funny how these so called “independents” seem to act, talk, and vote with Democrats isn’t it? Why one might say they act like Democrats who are ashamed to say that they’re Democrats…

In President Trump’s first term he got a real good lesson in “de-centralized” governance. When he left up to the States how to deal with Covid shutdown, and riots in the west that caused billions in damage and killed dozens. You fence sitters in all cases sided with progressive liberals and blamed him for everything when it was those governors that let the fires rage. Independents my ass.

Independents walk like ducks, act like ducks, and squawk like ducks, but want everyone to believe you are swans. I’m not buying it.

So, Texas and Trump starts this mid census redistricting and you're blaming Democrats?

You're in a cult, Doc....

Didn't we all know they are capable of the kind of mental gymnastics, the kind of denial of reality, necessary to turn this around on Dems? After all, they think trump won in 2020.

Not for nothing let's remember it was the Roberts court that opened this can of worms.

What's funny White 6? No response to that? You can laugh all you want, but what I posted you know damned well is the truth, and you are a coward for ignoring it...

Roberts is just another in a long line of disappointments for Republican nominees to SCOTUS.

Probably because Republican nominees try their hardest to follow the Constitution, where as Democrat nominees are purely ideological and will set aside our Constitution if they can find a liberal line of thought in other countries rulings on matters....

Either way, I think most Republican's would say that Roberts has been a huge disappointment on key issues.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

And here’s California Democrat Rep. Zoe Lofgren with absolutely no shame, confirming that wholesale Republican voter disenfranchisement is exactly where the party is going:

Well, ya have to see this through their eyes as they view it as fighting back in the sense that there are those on the right that have disenfranchised entire countries of/as voters.

It is interesting, that of the 8 states list in the American Stinker article, only one state (New Mexico) is in the top 10 high crime states in the country. In general, do Republicans require a generally larger criminal class of constituents to get elected? Hmmm. Several of those state are among the highest educated in the country, such as Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire. Are you guys having trouble breaking through to the intelligent, educated crowd that can analyze facts from fiction, and just mainly more successful in lessor educated states? You do seem more successful in lowed educated states such and West Virginia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, you know, good RED States. Hmmm. Higher median income seems to be typical for the states on the American Stinker hit list, in general, also, such as Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Hawaii, and Rhode Island. Looks like the states on the American Stinker list typically do well, without you, as they have money and not as easily bought.

Are you sure you have something to offer these states?

I’m about as ultra-right wing Conservative and Authoritarian as it comes, politically. I was born in Connecticut, went to college in Rhode Islabd, and spent the last 27 years of my life as a resident of Massachusetts.

I have BEVER, in my 51 years of life actually been directly represented by a State or Federal Congressperson (either house of either level) or Executice (Governor or POTUS).

So let me explain how politics works around here… First off, there is only one actual Party - Democrat Party. The Republican Party does not exist in any meaningful way in this region of the country. Why?… because there are no seats to be won here. Voting Democrat is a trained response from childhood for 80%+ of the population. There is no discussion of voting for anyone else. Not that the Republicans actually campaign for the few candidates they run… it’s not worth the money.

When the population of an area is so totally skewed towards the leftists this is exactly what happens. Most of the free-thinking moderates or conservatives born in this area get out as soon as they can and what these states import in return is all bright blue.

The majority of voters in MA are registered independents. They just vote d all the time because their grandparents had a portrait of Kennedy up on the wall in their kitchen. We've had a lot of Republican governors, but the party sucks at developing itself statewide.

Democrats have done this for years. Wakeup.

Nobody listen to this fool. He's probably a Yankees fan. There is lots of discussion about who to vote for. People are pretty vocal about political stuff around these parts. The most recent presidential election saw a significant increase in Republican votes. There was a noticeable increase in Trump lawn signs and such as well. Most people in the state are actually pretty middle of the road. The radical leftists are mostly found teaching or attending the very many colleges in the Bay State. The GOP in MA does a poor job of growing the party because every time a Republican manages to get elected Governor or any other position, they turn around and start sniffing for their next better job instead of working to bring up the next candidates from local on up. Our last Republican governor is now the head of the NCAA. Big money.

The only reason NH looks somewhat liberal is because of all the people from MA who have moved up there. No sales tax.

...

That's more than enough. GTFO.

Is this the part where you're losing on policy issues so you claim "intellectual superiority" to compensate, White?

I hate to point out the obvious here, my friend but the "intelligent, educated crowd" can't seem to run the States they control! People are leaving States that are run by the left in droves...all headed to States that are run by Republicans.

 

[Care4all]

Nope. They have never done a mid census redistricting, right after they did a Census redistricting required by our Constitution. This is not to realign districts to coincide with your newly recorded changes in your population.

Texas is doing this unusual and unprecedented, middle of the 10 year national census redistricting SOLELY to realign the districts they just created and just passed, to CHEAT and create 5 more gerrymandered seats in the Republican politician's favor, and take away the ability for the voter's voices to be heard in Texas, the population numbers stay as the previous census numbers so it is not population change as a possible legit mid 10 year reason, it simply gives Donald Trump the power he desires by this CHEATING and accommodating his cheating request....and doing this outside of what the constitution requires....for the once every 10 year census.

I think the Dems (in basically all states) are lost, floundering in their recent mission at social freedoms over intelligent government management. They brought this on themselves, not containing their worst elements and impulses with supporting girls on boys sports teams, homosexual/transsexual demonstrations, college campus leftist ideologic control of college administration, in the guise of free speech, support for a failed immigration policy of numbers over controlled immigration process, soft on crime local electorate, freedom of the homeless to take over parts of cities, support for no bail on criminal arrestees (as unfair to criminals, that cannot afford to or be trusted to pay for bond), etc. Most of these are the core reasons, large cities are failing to deal with their problems, as locally, the population votes local leaders more accepting of loosey goosey policy favoring relaxed control. Note, there has been no national legislation passed for this. It is simply local control issue politics in favor of making it easier on minority assholes to be assholes. And, as always, they want Federal help to control the result of their local decisions, without changing their local decisions or voting patterns. Go figure.

Quit being so partisan, it hurts your argument.
