Agree- this is a both party problem.
The root of my question was to try to understand why this is now not just Republicans doing it (previously Red and Blue).
Check some of the other responses to this, and you’ll see the guidelines used to determine district boundaries. This is what i was not understanding.
Your pepe is the pepe i want when I’m all grown up!
I should have thought to go to AI to get that question started, but i am not an AI fan. Use it or lose it….. and i fear we will lose a lot in the coming years.
One of the other respondents (u/taQo) gave great info on the rules/guides used to determine districts, and what you’ve also pointed out was abundantly clear in those
I’m surprised by it and most of me thinks it is problematic; I also see that a representative should be repping for more than 51% of their constituents.
I’m learning a ton today, you guys are great!!
Agree, but this did not answer my question.
/u/taQo gave me a very helpful response
I found that to be very informative- thank you so much! What the processes used to determine these maps was what i was wanting to find
What I’m surprised by is that there is no intent to be impartial- rather, it is expected you WILL be partisan, but you can’t be partisan based on race.
I still find this partisan approach to be whacked. Having said that, i do get it to some extent that you want an elected representative to support the majority of their constituents…. Not just 51% of them
I believe that the majority in districts are going to turn Red- because as you said- that’s how it actually is
The answer I’m seeking is the substantiation that these are fairly determined districts. Who decided the new boundaries? Do we know that they are impartially determined? What is the objective proof they are impartial?
I don’t know? Is that what they’ve gone back to?
That would be reasonable
I don’t debate that the districts as they were- were defined to maximize to Blue, same it was not a real representation of the population.
How do we know that the new boundaries defined are really the true representation and not optimized for Red?
I found this very interesting- thank you!
He’s proving himself by how well he handles all the stuff he’s got in his plate
Seriously- people are falling for this again?
Fuuuuuuck off
I yearn for tinfoil pepe, but I’m still a padawan.
One day.
I’m getting into Prometheian more and more. Her intellectual approach is refreshing: I always learn a ton
I’ve been a PBD fan for a while - I rarely miss an episode.
My hubby said same thing.
Mac Groveland is a heavy student population due to Macalester college.
Sooooooo… I see this as 100% troll
Ooh, right down the street from Sodom and Gomorrah!
Ha! I assumed they were still doing it that way. What do they do now?
Side note: I recall some in my group having issues with the shots, and me thinking they were wimpy. Now I know about adverse reactions to that crap. wish I'd been thinking more back then.
One of the reasons I’m glad my son isn’t interested in the military…. I remember lining up for all those shots.
Not sure if those are covered here, but i see it as a step in the right direction
Love me some Leonard Cohen. Video is good too - lots of commentary and i will need to watch again (several times) to catch all the implications.
I haven’t seen before- definitely worth watching.
Agree with you. So much to say in response about what has happened to our society.
Ug. Too much and not enough time to write.
I don’t know how long it will take us to be normal again
