GOP gerrymandering gives them a 16 seat advantage… not counting the 5 they will pick up. We can’t say “If they add 5, we will add 5”. We have to say, “To punish these mutha f ckers, we are adding 20 seats in California alone, and just wait until you see what we do in other Blue states”. Am I wrong?

One of the great things about gerrymandering is it produces districts that are very sensitive to small variations in sentiment, if you make three secure red seats you often do it based on less than 50 votes difference. Then if the red government gets too unpopular those red seats turn blue.

sure, but the fact is gerrymandering while giving an advantage most of the time also comes with exploitable weaknesses.
aug 10, 2025, 11:08 pm • 1 0 • view
OK 50 votes is an exaggeration. but still the thing in times of real red unpopularity the gerrymandered districts are not as countable on, because they have been mathematically engineered to give not an unbeatable advantage, but a statistically likely advantage
aug 10, 2025, 10:54 pm • 3 0 • view
and since red is unpopular they cut that advantage across multiple districts. they don't make districts where 99% of people vote red, otherwise they would have a reasonable looking square of red. They make districts where 51% vote red.

That particular threat is a bluff. If they do any more red seats, they'll a bunch of their existing red seats into pink seats that Democrats could easily win in a wave year. Just look at this one, it's R+6 instead of R+7, and already you have 6 red seats that would buckle under a blue-wave:

This adds 8 R seats over the current map. However, nearly 15 of the red seats would be at risk in a blue wave (O'Rourke won 4 of them, another 4 were on a knife's edge in '18).

In the immortal word of John Wick, "Yeah." When they go low, we go high enough to rip their heads off. They pull a knife, we drop a bomb. They put one of our guys in the hospital, we put a thousand of their bastards in the ground. I am through playing with these people.

In no sense is Texas up for grabs. Trump isn't running in 2026. The legislators he owns are running, already have a huge advantage, and Texas's redistricting will just add to it. Cornyn is running for Senate re-election, but gerrymandering doesn't affect those votes.

ok... For many folks, the "2 wrongs doesn't make it right" slogan doesn't apply here. However, gerrymandering is wrong. We can't forget that. Good luck, friends.

He will have to pick up 10 seats to counter what the dick tater has in mind. Other states will also have to gerrymander or there is real risk of losing the midterms and democracy. Fascism has no quarter. They need every voter voting as well, no more 30% stay home.

If you're not willing to fight them on their own terms & to maybe go further than the cons you've already lost. Democrats are so fucking gutless & stupid. They still haven't figured out they lose every single battle doing things the "right way" I'm starting to think they're intentionally losing

We need this to stop. I don't know if protesting matters, but something has to give. When one party is so desperate to hold power they game the election, then the other party has to do the same, it is too late. The Republic is over.
