“It means that you can have entire communities that go without representation.”
I get that it doesn’t matter to the Democrats that most of my state lacks representation. They did this, and it enabled them to win, so who cares if my vote didn’t count? What really disgusts me is when politicians don’t recognize the existence of the people they disenfranchised.
Pathological narcissism is so pervasive in our country now, I see little hope of turning it around.
Ironically the mathematics of majority-minority voting may have led to the first Republican majority in the US House of Representatives in over thirty years. Elections can be won or lost at the margins. So the very process of rope-a-doping (do we dare say “segregating?”) enough black voters into a single “safe” district tor Democrats by default moved margins of black voters out of as many as three to four districts where their margins may have made Democrat wins possible. By default the redistricting probably guaranteed the Republican win of the House.
Happy birthday to the lil' feller and here's hoping he makes three digits.
