The shit that I have to put up with
- Guy Debord Shorts Says #NoWarWithIran Retweeted Eric SteinbergWhich has what to do with gerrymandering? Again, I agree: gerrymandering is bad. But it didn't elect trumpGuy Debord Shorts Says #NoWarWithIran added,4 replies0 retweets5 likes
- Which electoral disctrict borders were redrawn in order to affect the outcome of the presidential election? Do you have a before and after map?1 reply0 retweets3 likes
- If I remember correctly Russian hackers created a new state called "Wisconsin" and didn't tell Clinton about it2 replies0 retweets3 likes
- extremely devilish of them to make it one of the most important states to win, too. all without anybody noticing1 reply0 retweets2 likes
- 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 twatter4 replies0 retweets0 likes
- for the *presidential election*? no, I don't think that would change things, because that's not how presidential elections work.1 reply0 retweets2 likes

- 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.4 replies0 retweets0 likes
- 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?1 reply0 retweets0 likes
- Hey, I'm just here to destroy Trimp. Clearly, you have other plans.2 replies0 retweets0 likes
- 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.1 reply0 retweets1 like
- 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.3 replies0 retweets0 likes
- That's unknowable, at this point. What is known for a fact is that Hillary Clinton wasn't.2 replies0 retweets2 likes
- absent some Russian fuckery, she would have won.3 replies0 retweets0 likes
- Well, that's certainly the line that HRC has been pushing for the last year and a half. I don't buy it.1 reply0 retweets1 like
- 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.1 reply0 retweets1 like
- waitaminnit- are you saying the Mueller probe is a "witch hunt"?1 reply0 retweets0 likes
- So you concede, then, that there just might be something to the idea that Russia interfered in our election?2 replies0 retweets0 likes
- 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.3 replies0 retweets1 like
- 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....3 replies0 retweets0 likes
- Wait hold on. Did you really just 'actually' me to say what I said?1 reply0 retweets0 likes
- 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.1 reply0 retweets0 likes
- 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 case3 replies0 retweets1 like
- 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.2 replies0 retweets0 likes
- The U.S. Congress is part of the federal government. It is not state level.1 reply0 retweets0 likes
- 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.2 replies0 retweets0 likes
- Yes, the GOP stays in power in the U.S. House & in state legislatures through gerrymandering. However, the Senate, Governorships, & Presidency are not affected.1 reply0 retweets0 likes
- That's just plain stupid. Of course they're affected- one power structure begets another.2 replies0 retweets0 likes
- 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.1 reply0 retweets0 likes
- You're being wilfully stupid. Ever hear about the state of Florida? Where local pols have a deathgrip on every election, state local and federal?2 replies0 retweets0 likes
Replying to @ergomatic @IsobelSedbusk and
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.)
