    Liberals and Conservatives both pack themselves, don't try to muck up the waters.

    People in cities tend to vote democrat and people rural tend to vote republican. The divide is the equal responsibility of both parties, not just one.

    Conservatives don't pack themselves to the degree that liberals do. And it's not intentional packing. Rural tends to be red because that is the culture of the people who were born and live there.

    Liberals however chose to move to ideologically homogenous communities so they don't have to interact with other points if view.

    Like I said the numbers have been run. Democrats would take it in the ****ing shorts if all gerrymandering was done away with. They would have a hand full of representatives who got 80% of the vote in their ideologically homogenous districts while Republicans would dominate with a somewhere around a 55% average in their more ideologically mixed districts.

    The democrats are absolutely dependent on cracking their districts and they do just that.

    What the democrats what is

    'Gerrymandering for me but not for thee.'

    Both sides do it. Look at that company that is moving "conservatives" from blue states to Texas. You're spewing opinion and ignoring the facts.

    At the end of the day gerrymandering has ensured 100% of the population is robbed of its representation.

    And I'm telling you that you still want to rob people just in another way.

    To get equal party representation you have to over represent the cities. That is just a simple mathematical fact. Pick your poison.

    The only reason your crying now, is because the people of your state voted for republicans.

    and now you want the rules changed....

    Sorry buddy, elections have consequences

    Rigged elections that violate the Law of the Land have consequences too as the alt right is discovering to their chagrin.

    The supreme court has ruled on this already.

    Youre going to lose.

    If you dont like what the citizens of your state vote for, perhaps youre not really into democracy

    Denial on your part does not alter reality. The PA court decision will not be overturned by the SCOTUS IMO.

    FTR democracy means all votes are counted equally. The GOP does not believe in equal voting rights since it suppresses and obstructs minority voters.

    Furthermore America is NOT a democracy, it is a Constitutional Republic. If We the People were a democracy the GOP would not have the House or the Executive branch right now.

    Well, I guess, we'll have to wait and see if the Supreme Court will nullify the votes of millions of people in PA

    Not true but you can spew nonsense all you like. I have no problem with people voting for republicans. I have a problem with republicans and democrats choosin their voters.

    You're so partisan you can't see this for the massive issue it is.

    Ask a ca Republican if their vote is represented.

    You can create mythologies you like. I don't want to rob anyone. I want to see equal representation. So we then have equality of access.

    As it stands you want the elected to choose their electorate so your hideous side keeps winning.

    You just don't get it, do you. People like you just don't get it. Your points don't matter because at the end of the day you don't even understand what the issue is.

    It's sad.

    Go post elsewhere.

    I know exactly what the issue is.

    Democrats are crying because the people of Pennsylvania chose Republicans to run their state. Republicans run the government. Im sorry you dont like it. Im sorry you lost the elections.

    If you want to control the government, your party has to win elections.

    Hers a Pro Tip: Democrats need to drop their kill whitey agenda. It makes you look like a racist.

    As it stands the only reason districts do that is because of the partisan distracting going on.

    No look at voting patterns in cities. They are solid blue.

    Democrats have to crack their districts.

    The alt right has a problem accepting the facts that the GOP gerrymandering and voter suppression is NOT what We the People actually wanted.
