    Which has what to do with gerrymandering? Again, I agree: gerrymandering is bad. But it didn't elect trump

    Your analysis is extremely short-sighted. You know there's a federal investigation going on, right?

    If I remember correctly Russian hackers created a new state called "Wisconsin" and didn't tell Clinton about it

    You guys are tools. You seriously don't think drawing an equitable map wouldn't affect federal outcomes? I'm tempted to say that you don't care about black folks....typical chickenshits too scared to use real names on twatter

    for the *presidential election*? no, I don't think that would change things, because that's not how presidential elections work.

    I'll let my voting record speak for me. Your analysis sucks and so do you. If you were really interested in the common wealth, you would support unity and equity. But instead, you see elections as a forum for your tantrums.

    Why would I support unity with you? We want different things For that matter, why would you support unity with me? I know when you say unity you mean the left obeying you, but if we pretend you mean what you say, why would you?

    See this is where I have a hard time taking your "[people who aren't me] don't care about [groups unlike me]!" sanctimony - *you* will be fine without Trump (and even with him, let's be honest). The problems that face people unlike you go deeper than Trump.

    stahp already. If you were really interested in effecting change, you'd vote for a viable candidate. Bernie, for all his charms, ain't it.

    That's unknowable, at this point. What is known for a fact is that Hillary Clinton wasn't.

    I'm curious what "Russian fuckery" he can point to. So far, there hasn't been anything beyond some facebook ads that they can't even prove were seen by more than a handful of people.

    Do you even understand what the Mueller probe is about? It's not about whether Russia changed our ballots, it's about whether the president did something illegal (which he almost certainly did). Russia running facebook ads that seven people saw did not sway the election.

    ACTUALLY. There are a whole host of things on Mueller's plate- money laundering, foreign influence, public corruption etc etc. Nobody, not even me, thinks that ballot tampering is part of that mix. If you can't see how gerrymandering enabled and amplified those efforts, then....

    I did. I inferred from "curious to what....he can point to" that you doubt the efficacy or legitimacy of the Mueller probe. I don't doubt either: I think charges will be brought against Donad Trimp. Whether he's successfully prosecuted is another question.

    I doubt the efficacy but I said that because you explicitly claimed Russian meddling lost hillary the election, and I want to know specifically by what processes you think that is the case

    Okay, o wizened sages. I'm saying there's a power structure in place that has been co-opted. This power is at the state level- the US Congress. I think you guys haven't thought this through.

    The GOP stays in power because congressional districts are drawn to suppress Democratic votes. Is there some other word for that? You really are quite dumb.

    Yes, the GOP stays in power in the U.S. House & in state legislatures through gerrymandering. However, the Senate, Governorships, & Presidency are not affected.

    That's just plain stupid. Of course they're affected- one power structure begets another.

    No, it simply doesn't. When offices are elected through statewide vote totals, then it doesn't matter whether the House & local legislative districts are drawn fairly or unfairly. I don't know how that could be any clearer.

Do you... do you think local politicians in Florida flipped the presidential election results? In 2016? (In 2000, it was actually the federal Supreme Court that did it.)
