Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

And they just keep on lying

Oh my gosh, they were just so outraged at the TX Republicans and their "gerrymandering".

Then the facts came out. Democrats all over the nation were the worst perpetrators of gerrymandering.

IL saw 43% vote for Trump. 3 of their 17 seats are Republican held.

MA 36% for Trump. Zero representation in the House.

NY saw 43% vote for Trump. They have 7 out of 26 seats.

What really galls me is that after the proof was put forward that democrats were the worst offenders of gerrymandering, that the TX delegation were total hypocrites, the talking heads STILL CONTINUED TO LIE.

A question to rat voters on here: Are you this stupid that you believe the lies they are telling you? Or do you recognize they are lying and just don't care?

    All this has been covered so well by the MSM. Lots of discourse, no banner headlines without thorough follow up. Just pros doing their best to provide nonpartisan information to the folks who don't love being lied to.

    Democrats’ Gerrymander Flub - WSJ

    Democrats’ Gerrymander Flub

    Democrats, furious that Republicans might do what Democrats do, erupted in feigned outrage, condemning “a partisan, craven, political power grab attempt by the president of the United States,” in the words of Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey.

    In a nationwide redistricting race, Democrats don’t have much running room. They’ve already redistricted the dickens out of their states. Where do they think Republicans got the idea?

    Consider New Jersey, where Democrats control nine of 12 congressional seats, despite 45% of House votes going to Republicans. Illinois: 14 of 17 seats, though Democrats won but 53% of the vote. Oregon: five of six seats, despite a GOP vote of 42%. Or Ms. Healey’s Massachusetts, where Democrats control all nine congressional seats.

    Here’s a bit of math, provided by the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, that shows how effective the party has been at gerrymandering. States with Democratic state legislative majorities currently control the lines for about 35 GOP seats—all that’s left after their aggressive maps. By contrast, Republican state legislative majorities control the lines for 55 Democratic seats. The difference is the GOP advantage in the war Democrats have escalated. Whoops.
