No, but you seem to be. Do you honestly think the Democratic Party doesn’t jerrymander every chance they get?

I look at it as absurdist political humor, just like when they were making fun of Al Gore with ManBearPig and Hilly Clinton with The Snuke. Then there was them roasting the shit out of Saddam Hussein in the movie.
Rehashing Saddam Hussein as Trump was a bit lazy. They could have done better, but it was still entirely unexpected.
Noem and Trump have to realize one very important thing.
Matt and Trey don’t give a shit and no one is off limits.
It very much is a myth. The Dixiecrats didn’t become Republicans. They remained Democrats and mentored the next generation of Democrats. Al Gore Sr was a flaming racist and his son almost became president. Some like Robert Byrd acted like they were distancing themselves from Democrat hate groups like the KKK, but Byrd’s voting record still shows he clung to his racist ways by systematically voting against black appointments, especially non Democrat ones.
Also, you don’t found a new chapter of an organization you don’t believe in and Democrats still preach white supremacy. They merely call it “white privilege” now.
Same party. the “party switch” is a myth. The Democratic party of today is the same Democratic party of slavery, Jim Crow, and jerrymandering.
It was also full of Democrat shenanigans that they knew the Republicans would not vote for, so they tossed in jerrymandering, knowing the bill would never pass to make it look like they were for it.
Without jerrymandering, the Democrats would lose many seats because they’d no longer be able to take large swaths of rural and suburban areas, then make a wonky looking maps to link them to cities to ensure the suburban and rural voters get outvoted by the urban voters. They’d also no longer be able to carve out mostly black districts that they have no chance of ever losing.
Without their jerrymandering, they wouldn’t have single party control of Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
That’s right, hit that block button, block out the truth, while making a false allegation about holocaust denial.
The Republicans walked away to prevent the Democrats from saddling their constituents with new taxes. I remember the Democrats losing their shit over it, calling them traitors, wanting them to be imprisoned and lose their seats.
Now that the shoe is on the other foot, the Democrats want to be upset about it.
Sounds like you’re just upset that the Republicans are following the Democrats’ lead. It’s like watching a kid cheat in a game, then watch the kid get upset when the other kid also starts cheating.
No, they simply call for “bail/prison reform” to let them back out on the streets, then try to wrap it in flowery language to mask the truth of what they are doing.
They both do it. Democrats are just the ones who invented it, then like everything they do, they cry victim when the Republicans also do it and try to act like they’re filled with righteous indignation knowing that they also jerrymander.
If Democrats didn’t heavily rely on jerrymandering to maintain control of blue states’ legislatures and seats in the House, they’d have a leg to stand on.
Democrats have to tread carefully to avoid revealing to the slack jawed public that Democrats invented jerrymandering and have been doing it since 1812.
Democrats upset that Republicans are doing what Democrats have done since 1812, flee to blue, heavily jerrymandered states to cry foul.
And yet the irony is lost on most people.
If Israel was run by Muslims, no one would care if they were turning Gaza into a heap of rubble. Just look at how concerned they are about the Druze.

Exactly.
Would this be the same UN that puts KNOWN human rights abusers on the human rights council? The same UN that is dead silent on various commonly known abuses of human rights around the world? THAT UN? Are you SURE you want to cite THEM?
It was not, but thanks for playing. The Israelis lacked the weapons and manpower to genocide anyone and were surrounded on all sides by Islamic theocracies that would love nothing more than to genocide the largest group of Jews the world had seen since the Romans expelled them from their land.
I don’t think Democrats can Jerrymander much harder than they have been since 1812.
Democrats won’t fight for standard anything because they would lose many, MANY seats in their own states because they’ve been Jerrymandered all to hell to ensure that non Democrat voters are always the minority in their districts.
And here we go with the people who bitterly cling to the myth in order to lay their party’s sins at the feet of their opponents.
Platforms change, but Robert Byrd, the Klansman, was a Democrat until Satan took his son home.
