    Their crocodile tears have been delicious.

    Totally on board with outlawing this shit entirely, by the way, but also totally over getting punched in the groin by the people who go low.

      It’s also a great way of pressuring Republican politicians into actually banning it.

      “You don’t like us playing by the rules you wanted? Help us change the rules then!”

      They’ll only accept losing the power to gerrymander if it hurts Democrats more than Republicans.

        We’ll have to do it more. There’s a reason they could only gerrymander 5 more seats into a state the size of Texas, and that’s because Texas was and is already gerrymandered to shit.

        They still don’t want a ban because even after a few high profile Democrat gerrymanders, Republicans still benefit more.

      Exactly that, I have stopped a while ago, I’ll joke with some of the naive ones say I can upset them with one sentence but, tell I mean in jest but I can act just like them, they ask what and I say one simple phrase that works every time loL “all Republicans must die” Then I say I don’t want to be serious about it so…
