Can Democrats Overcome GOP Gerrymandering?

“Interesting” is a strange way to describe a rigged election. President Rump keeps screaming about rigged elections while actively rigging them. What is even happening?

This is why I don't watch NYT or stuff like that. The sheer toxicity of the comments always brings me down.

Republicans eliminated the Democrats' structural advantage -- districts drawn purely to rig the result for race-based representation. No more racism in outcome-based gerrymandering.

Let's report the facts without bias, NYT.

The only way republicans can stay in power. DEI politics.

If this happens I'm starting a rebellion

NYT is the propaganda arm for Democrats. This is not "free press" behavior

I'm sure the Democrats have NEVER done this ever. Especially not in the 30's, 60's, 70's, 80's, early 2000's and early 2010's. Almost like if you have a memory that isn't one sided you can see past the bs that nytimes throws out

USA is supposed to be a democracy, right? The people elect the representatives, not the representatives to elect the representatives.

Remind your republican friends that they are the minority and that their politics are rejected by Americans.

The Republican Party IS a criminal organization, and all Republicans should be arrested under RICO

The domocrats have cheated in Illionois california new york and new england for 4 decades about time we strike back in our deep red states and it is racost to force black people in there own dostrict but i guss letting them vote with white and hispanic voters is more discriminationg you guys make no sense red wave 26 is coming

How do you account for ballot harvesting?

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

EVERY VOTE IS IMPORTANT.

MAKE SURE YOU'RE REGISTERED.

VOTE!

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Partisan getrymandering should be illegal. It's an affront and attack on democracy.

Democrats can never win, unless they break every election law on the books.

Democracy dies
in district lines 🇺🇸

I’m from the UK. Please for the sake of god’s green earth get these slime bags out of office!!!

Independent here. I'm prepared to walk through fire to vote against this administration come November.

And I very well may have to.

Im sorry but i have to say it. He looks a little too much like howie from big bang theory

"Interesting" More like unfair, immoral, and should be illegal

Same old party, always cheating

I guess these people think election can be fun?

Who is Gerry and why is he Mandering?

In a real democracy this is impossible. Every vote should count and every vote should be equal. The USA needs a new election system that is fair and balanced. The current one is a century out of date. My country switched to proportional representation in 1914.

Let’s hope the Republicans win and the white supremacist KKK party never gets into power again. Time to end the Democrat party forever. They have tried to disenfranchise black voters for 200 years. Lately they tried to gerrymander Virginia to make sure to enshrine redlining and segregation into the state. When their Supreme Court ruled it unconditional, they tried to ignore the ruling. We need a common sense approach to finally dismantle the Democrat party forever and replace it with an American party.

Both parties deserve to loose every election for slaughtering people in Gaza

Americans don't got what it takes to free themselves from their oppressors

Pass the Fair Representation Act now. It nearly eliminates gerrymandering and opens 3rd parties and independents to eliminate the spoiler vote.

No, because they've already gerrymandered the crap out of all their states.

Democracy in America is now decided by who can rig the maps the best & win election lawsuits in court after picking favorable judges. How far we have fallen.

And don’t forget Trump started this whole mess when he set the stupid, unpatriotic precedent by calling Texas to redraw the maps to add 5 more seats. Corrupt …. Tyrant… to put it nicely, but I had even more not as nice words reserved…

If Republicans don't have the votes than how can they win? It's suppose to be the most votes win.

If you are voting for a side that is actively protecting PDFs, you are beyond morally bankrupt and pure evil. There is nothing you can say or do that would change my mind about that. Nothing.

Calling it “a lot more interesting” instead of calling it what it is is fing bonkers 😵‍💫🤦‍♂️. “We call this a structural adv” FFS, stop tying ur self in knots to avoid calling it what it is, rigging the election. U have no qualms about reporting Conald saying 2020 (or any election he loses) is rigged inspire of evidence to the contrary. Meanwhile ur jumping through hoops to avoid calling actual bold faced election rigging in broad daylight anything but. Ugh 🤦‍♂️, 🇺🇸 is so self cooked….

Keep it interesting? How about we keep it representative? Voting in America is a joke.

The Republicans are literally invalidating elections they don't like in some places. Democracy is dead and the Dems are doing nothing about it.

Replace “interesting” with “corrupt”.

They cheated so they could win a midterm because they knew they were unpopular. If the polls were really great like they say why would they need to do this? Election fraud. But they've never presented evidence in court. Just fake documentaries that get taken down and trump just looking at it lolol

No. We call that cheating and election fraud.

Democracy is dead

I think they screwed up in Texas cuz they in their ignorance skewed towards the Latino vote which after all of the ICE atrocities - will not go in their favor. I am very happy about that.

Awesome!!!❤❤

Utahan here. The new democratic district came from a statewide vote in 2018 (ya know democracy.)

Our state Republican legislature has pulled every nonsensical trick in the book to overturn the vote, but it’s held up in our state courts. I’m willing to bet it’s the only election where this district survives 😢.

One thing most folks don't take into account: gerrymandering is not a guarantee. The only way they can make new "Republican" districts is by diluting existing ones. If they dilute too much, if they get too greedy, then Democrats can win more seats than if they never gerrymandered in the first place.

wondering why you are using the word race. science says that "races" are not existing.

GOP can't win with their ideas - they offer nothing, so they win by rigging the system
