No Red Wave

Just stop. I did no such thing. I discussed an effect of gerrymandering. Not everything is strategic. I in no way am claiming that DeSantis didn't win the election. Try harder next time (if you can). How was the wedding, by the way?

 

Oh, more predictions? How was the Oz victory party?

 

Let's see, you stated that gerrymandering has impacts on turnout and enthusiasm. So you are using gerrymandering to say the results didn't turn out the way "it should have". So you are denying the election results. Congrats. Just own it. Oh, and I forgot that only Reps gerrymander LOL.

 

Oh, I don't know, your wrong calls on everything covid didn't stop you LOL.

 

It does.

Nope.

Nope.

I would have thought being spectacularly wrong would have stopped this sort of nonsense. I guess not.

I made no claims about the specific party (which is why I used the phrase "minority party" rather than naming either party).

 

Says the guy who spent pages arguing with me that Covid wasn't a disease! LOL!

 

If a bill is bipartisan, why are you givng credit only to Dems? This "team" mentality is toxic and quite frankly, folks that do this moving forward are going to find themselves unheard. Both parties voted for it and compromised. The AOCs and MJT need to be ignored.

 

Dude, you don't have to be butthurt. Just own it. You are an election denier. You blamed gerrymandering. Congrats.

 

Nope. I did no such thing, and your need to recover your ego from how wrong you were doesn't change it. Sorry, try again later. Good luck with that!

 

Fiscally sound??? Under the GQP???

 

Wow, we were about to be like Bluke yesterday when he was saying he couldn't find any libs before the election. We were all wondering what hole you fell into after those embarrassingly bad predictions you spewed came to roost. Hope you enjoyed the mini wave in your tiny bathtub.

 

Gerrymandering likely was a big impact over the past decade or two - FL was a straight up purple swing state run by all Republican government. However more recently between southerners affection for Trumpism, elderly Fox News consuming transplants and a changing south Florida Latino vote trending Republican, it has just become a flat out red state.

 

I'm confused; I thought senator/governor/mayors are all elected by popular vote (not electoral vote), so not following how gerrymandering plays a factor?

 

There is none.

 

Oh, baby, I especially like that last exhortation!

 

I'd rather not but I get your drift.

 

That Ron Johnson won is the result which stumps me. He’s not only dumb, he’s a liar.

 

Hey, you're back! How was the Dr. Oz victory party? Were the crudités good?

 

@PD made a ridiculous nonsensical claim. Funny thing is the dems like him are the ones upset. Because they live in the Free State of Florida.

 

I’m going to assume you are serious here.

the party in power after each decade census gets to redraw the boundaries of congressional districts. They can be manipulated such that one party or the other is favored. Republican gerrymandering would look like taking Democratic heavy urban centers and dividing it among several heavily Republican rural districts such that the Democratic votes are essentially washed out. I think Gainesville FL is an example. Austin TX is another.

So the popular vote could be 50/50 Republican / Democrat but republicans could end up with a majority of the districts.
