    in particular, it seems to work for whomever can get their districts more successfully gerrymandered.

      Nobody said it’s going to be easy. But if you give up on democracy because of the gerrymandrting, you can stop worrying about politics, everything else is so much harder, every other action is so much more impossible, you might as well give up now.

          You didn’t do the moderately easy thing so you can try your hands on the impossible one. Which means you either gave up on thinking or on telling the truth.

            who said i didnt do democracy, i did democracy while i could still pretend it was effective. dont go around putting words in my mouth and actions in my hand, patriot. you wanna waste your time huffing copium pretending the obviously rigged system totally works thats for you bud. take that shit it and sell it up the river, im gonna go ahead and believe my lying fucking eyes.

            what makes you think next midterm will even be legitimate in the pretend sense i just referred to anyway. what makes you think you could vote for someone who could possibly fix any of this even if we were playing pretend- what would ‘fixing all this’ even look like. what makes you think the democratic majority arent already pleased with whats happening. grow a set of eyeballs and unblink for half a fucking minute dude fr
