[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last night at dinner I was with a bunch of VA lawyers, government workers, and other professionals. We all feel exactly the same way about this. We instinctively want to vote no, because gerrymandering to align with a party is wrong. However, the world has changed, and since this is for a single election, we are tired of holding ourselves to the higher standard while the other party hasn’t taken the high road in at least ten years. The country is being run by incompetents, and also we haven’t gotten anything passed in years that wasn’t all the democrats aligning with a handful of republicans. We are in a multi-fronted war where the worst kleptocrat we’ve ever seen is being surrounded by grifters and unqualified losers who think destroying democracy is “manly games”. Since this is a temporary measure for the one election, eff Texas, eff the other over-represented red states, and were voting yes with our fingers on our noses.[/quote]

You can always trust a lawyer to take an ethical stance. [/quote]

LOL.

I think it is hysterical that pp thinks this will be just temporary. Just one election. Sure. This is a power grab by democrats and there is no way in hell they will willingly give up that power 4 years down the road.

It is also hysterical that pp believes the red states are “over represented.”  She no doubt is unaware that blue states were given too many seats following the 2020 census.  Nor is she aware of the gerrymandering that has been going on for years in states like Illinois and  Massachusetts and New York   [/quote]

Democrats have repeatedly proposed banning partisan gerrymandering. Republicans have repeatedly refused to vote for such a measure. I wonder why?[/quote]
