We are always evil people for using their bad behavior against them.

MAGA is persecuting anyone who quotes Mr. Kirk, as in Gays should be stoned to death.

An interesting candidate for sainthood is Mr. Kirk, when you're not allowed to repeat what he said.

"More popular than Reagan". Sure. If that were the case, Der Dotard's coat tails would be longer, and there would be no need for crisis gerrymandering, since Dems would be further sidelined by GOP voters voting for the Gipper's pal running in their congressional district...

"More popular than Reagan." Polling conducted at each cabinet meeting.

It won't be in Missouri. It's a flyover state for a reason.

It's only bad when Republicans do it.

As usual, DR lib kids completely ignore their own hypocrisy. It's already been proven many times over that Biden and Obama tried to get states to gerrymander multiple times, or at least tried to get legislation passed that would have made it easier for Dems to gerrymander. And, since the significant Dem gerrymandering of the 90s completely skewed districts to the left, what's happening now is just the pendulum swinging back to center.

All that being said, the problem isn't the gerrymandering. The problem is that both parties cry foul when the other side does it but supports it when their side does it. Since you guys keep ignoring this, the problem never gets better.

"the problem isn't the gerrymandering." #8 Humtake

It is absolutely the problem. I dont care which side is crying foul, I want it all to end and only the Dems have put forth any bills that would prevent it. The GOP votes against it everytime. Go cry me a river or actually back bills that will remove Gerrymandering.

I am against gerrymandering on either side, but those pointing to Obama and Biden as equivalents are ignoring that redistricting is normal after the census done every decade and pretty much unheard of between the census as is being done now.

Republicans wouldn't win sh!+ without gerrymandering
