    Gerrymandering in 2010 fucked this country bad, mate. The only thing that can fix it is a massive amount of people voting to overcome the Gerrymandering.

    It’s working. 2022 was supposed to be a “Massive Red Wave” they barely won the House and lost the Senate.

    Register to vote, get everyone you know to register, and vote. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s meaningless.

    If it wasn’t, they wouldn’t try as hard as they do to stop you from doing it.

      Yes, and if we do so and cause a “Massive Blue Wave” we can see wonderful things! Like more tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars being sent to Israel to terrorize and murder Palestinian civilians!

        You don’t need the more. You can type it “Like tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars being sent to Israel…”

        Maybe we will, maybe we won’t.

        Looks like to me that although we have pledged 10 billion to Israel, it would be on a tight leash with many caveats attached. Biden did get both Israel and Egypt to allow aid in to the people of Gaza. Ol’ Diamond Joe was working that Scranton charm.

            Please for the love of Jebus, look at voting records of both parties. They’re very, very different. I can’t believe with access to all of this info at your fingertips, you’re still trying to tell people that both parties are the same and voting does nothing. Mind-blowing.

              Yeah. I’m betting this person isn’t American at all. Anyone who isn’t a blind partisan hack can see the stark difference in the two parties. It’s fun that they brought up the supermajority that Obama had for about a year that was used to forge the ACA (which Lieberman fucked up on behalf of the insurance industry) and promptly lost in the 2010 election where the Republicans gerrymandered everything six ways from Sunday. Oh, well.

              #register, get everyone you know to register, and vote Republicans out next year.

              So back to my points above.

              When the Democrats had the supermajority, they codified Roe v Wade, right?

              That voting record really makes me eat my words.

              What about a sitting Democrat condemning the baseless murder of thousands of people a day.

              The Democrat was against that and didn’t just send 50 billions of dollars to fund a terrorist state to buy bombs from the American war machine, right?

              Silence yourself.
