Okay? I was hoping there was a part two. Presidential elections actually have nothing to do with gerrymandering. It’s about “balancing” power. Also as an aside, there are almost 19 million registered voters living in Texas. So almost half didn’t vote. We are talking about fair representation here.

it's not just that capitalists rely on free reproductive labor in order to accumulate capital—the entire process of creating the next generation of workers is itself a form of profit for the capitalist. giving birth? that'll be $20k. childcare? another $20k/year. why? because you're just a machine

Missouri Democratic lawmakers are in such a superminority that they don’t even need to show up for laws to be passed in this state. An even sadder statement? A piece of legislation can go from the House to the Senate to becoming a law on the Governor’s desk while never being signed by a woman.
