Obama is against gerrymandering

Story by Jacob Bryant
Obama "We can't lose focus on what matters - right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year's midterm elections," Obama wrote. "This is a power grab that undermines our democracy."

Why didn’t they journalists ask Obama “why” or “how” gerrymandering in Texas right now is unfair compared to how and when Democrats do it?

This is why there is a market for multiple media sources.

Let's not also forget that when you purposely let a bunch of migrants cross the border illegally in order to get more House representation and electoral votes for your state, that is a form of gerrymandering as well.

MAGA lies.

Are you outraged at brazen Texas Republican gerymandering?

Lets see your NOT-selective outrage.

And then explain why Democrats should just sit on their hands, take it and not reciprocate.

No I’m not but I don’t whine ***** and complain when Democrats do it. That is the difference between myself and so many of you blind partisans when all of you right and left want to show the same outrage when the the gerrymandering is being done by the party you support I will take you seriously on this until then you can all go piss up a rope.

It's NOT SAME and I've showed national analisys that proves it.

Where? Is it in this thread? In two sentences, can you recap why and how Texas gerrymandering is unfair? Why does “national” analysis matter? Who did it? What was the data set? What was the process? What is different about Texas vs Democrats when they gerrymander?

I live in Maryland as a conservative and we get gerrymandered all of the time here in a Blue state.

Yes it's in this thread posted, by me, just read it.

I ALREADY DID recap.

It's not fair because this convoluted redistricting is done for only one reason - Republicans not able to win elections there.

Maryland gets a grade of A on partisan advantage of the maps, compared to F for Florida and Texas that give big partisan advantage to Republicans.

A large percent of Democrat states have endorsed non partisan commissions to redistrict their states after the Census.

It's time to stop the rigged two party system. It's time for proportional representation in the Peoples House to allow the entry of more political parties to the fray. Forcing more consensus rather than division in Washington.

Obama lied again.
The Texas Republicans are increasing representation.
That is not undermining democracy.
The Texas population has increased by over 3 million people since the last census.
That is equal to about 4 new congressional districts.
Those people deserve representation.
Isn't that the way our representative democracy is supposed to work?

When Joe Biden allowed 10 million poor uneducated third world people to illegally cross our border just to increase the corrupt Democrat Party's voter base, that was cheating, that was diluting the voting strength of American citizens.
That is undermine our democracy.
Don't say, but that they can't vote.
The Democrats want them to be counted in the census.
And the corrupt Democrat Party will give them amnesty the first chance that they get.

Why can't they increase it the old fashined way....by getting more votes?

 

[AntonToo]

A simple look at the proposed changes makes your argument laughable garbage.

This is not about fitting in new districts, this is about taking existing districts and redrawing them to squeeze out Republican advantage.

Democrats need to abandon the non partisan districting commissions and gain as many districts as they can.

They need to learn to fight fire with napalm flamethrowers.

They need a rapid response team to counter the big lie machine gun the FAUX NOT NEWS SPHERE has spend decades perfecting.

Texas has over three million new citizens who are not getting equal representation.
They need about 4 or 5 new congressional districts to give them equal representation.

OK
So you are saying that 3 million Texans do not deserve representation.

 

[AntonToo]

Except this redrawing of districts has little to do with sqeezing something new in.

Otherwise great story.

All that they are doing is giving 3 million new Texas citizens representation in congress.
That is not "undermining democracy".
Obama lied.

 

[AntonToo]

OK
So you are saying that 3 million Texans do not deserve representation.

Look at the map.

You see that District 27 proposal with red border spanning across entire state?

Wtf does that has to do with increasing representation?

NOTHING is the correct answer. It has to do with shameless cutting up districts for partisan advantage.

Democrats invented "gerrymandering" and Hussein should know that as well as TDS hypocrite democrat activists. It's ironic that the Tx. dems fled to the most notorious gerrymandering state in the Union to protest gerrymandering. Do democrat minions in the media still think the rest of America is as stupid as democrat activists seem to be?

 

[AntonToo]

Democrats invented "gerrymandering"

You are talking about 1800s to justify what Republicans are doing now?

Seriously?

 

[AntonToo]

No I’m not but I don’t whine ***** and complain when Democrats do it.

Good, so when Democrats will soon start doing same shameless slicing and dicing I don't want to hear anything from you and your Republican pals.

You really think this ridiculous tit-for-tat is good for our country? It's not.

So why do Democrats do it or how do Democrats do it and it is still fair???
