So the gerrymandering of Florida is being covered bluntly on MSNBC

[Coventina]

How can the Rs get away with this?

Is there any way we can rid ourselves of this minority rule?

1. 5 house seat pickup nt

10. Wow, already?

2. I just flipped over and saw that! Ugh!

3. Welcome to fascism

Media is covering it as if it is "normal reporting." That is the problem. They are just "reporting" with no analysis. I guess when we lose democracy, they will still "report." Don't they have a little more responsibility? If democracy falls, we are all screwed (although I think we already are).

5. Supermajorities in statehouses.

That’s also what’s killing democracy.

There has to be a better, nonpartisan way to redraw districts after censuses to accurately reflect population changes.

I’m in an area north of Indianapolis that’s been trending blue across several elections. District was redrawn to remove our Democratic state senator, and to make the congressional seat virtually untouchable. Nipping a “problem” in the bud.

Likewise, the congressional district for most of Indianapolis proper now extends north into a wealthier, red suburb. Makes no fucking sense, unless you’re trying to dilute the urban Democratic vote.

Republicans are the problem here.

11. Yet in California, where we run the show, we do "independent commissions"

[Aepps22]

13. Same in Colorado

This is the scam we fell for in Colorado too. Those committees are just a way for Republicans to prevent us from pressing our advantage.

6. Fuck DeSatan eom.

7. They been doing it all over the country.

9. It's not just in Florida.

I've been screaming about this here (and elsewhere) since 2004.

Yet, here we are today, still. SSDD

Dems don't want to dispense with gerrymandering because it can help them, and Republicans weaponized that fact against us. Now, here we are.

14. I think we are gonna do well where gerrymandering can't affect the results.

Senate, governorship, etc.

The gerrymandering of House districts may become painfully obvious tonite.

15. Not in Florida

They already won their statewide races.
