B) I don’t agree that they are “far ahead” on socioeconomics. They are moving much faster, though. Again, I would argue that this is being fueled by more recent immigrants from who have not fallen victim to the “oppression” narrative.


Multiply the $23,000 gap by 25M in population difference and it’s enormous

I want us to redistrict based on height. Tall people with 3 representatives and shorties with 2. It’s the only way to be fair.

Gerrymandering only became an issue to a specific race because they block vote Democrat regardless of circumstance.

You want a certain type of black representation. You want the black representation that keeps you affirmed in your victim status.

You’re not going to vote for a black conservative or republican. You’re not going to vote for someone like Winsome Sears. You’re not going to vote for someone who isn’t a hood rat, or pretends to be one. It’s not about “black” with you; it’s about your “type of black.”

It’s not racism. Stop saying it is.

That's why all of this hand-wringing about minority districts is mainly performative; it's not about being able to elect blacks, it's about the Democrat machine convincing them that they can be represented only by being able to elect black Democrats.
