So the democrats. Over half of Americans vote Democrat but the republicans win because of gerrymandering
Gerrymandering has no affect on the presidential election.
Why is it so important to the Republicans and why's is it such a big deal that California will retaliate on Texas for gerrymandering. The electoral college needs to go. Land shouldn't vote, people should. Most of the rich owns the land anyways.

It certainly determines how congress sorts war powers. It also determines how they keep legitimate judges out of SCOTUS until the GOP can seat their psychopaths. Gerrymandering has fucked everything. Can't impeach and then convict. Can't do shit about fuck. Here we are.
Electing Trump has fucked everything. Dumbass likely Democratic voters who sit out elections ruin everything. People in this country just don't fucking care.
About 30%-35% will always side with this mother fucker. It's sad and very cultist.
56%? So basically the popular vote when voters actually fucking vote.
It's the same damn statistic every time. 60% people horrified, 30% cheering, 10% cheering while making a good show of wringing their hands.
First past the post, education politicization, political disenfranchisement, and gerrymandering have created millions of monsters. I only hope democracies abroad take this as their wakeup call to fix the broken systems creating the global authoritarian / auth-right movement.
Think of how much worse it could be though, we could have had a brown woman in charge!!

WhY dO yOu SuPpOrT gEnOcIdE???? BiDeN iS lItErALlY hItLeR!
Oh but the "leftists" on Lemmy told me she's exactly the same!
That still leaves 44% that are fine with it (or don't care either way - which may actually be worse because they're automatons)
More likely 10% that are tired of the shit, don't know what's real and fake anymore, or who to trust as an authoritative factual perspective. So it's easier to just live their daily life, which is already a pain in the ass.
No new wars.
Read my lips.
"Donald the dove"
You mean the FIFA "peace" award winner? I'm shocked. Shocked!
Well, not that shocked.
The other half doesn't care and/or gets off on the idea of wars...
Anyone talking about military intervention on us soil?
Donald Trump
That’s why ice got billions in the budget.
That's what happens when you don't award a peace maker with the Peace Noble prize.
Go Donald, Devour of Destiny, go! You are the Golden God! America, fuck yeah!
Manifest destitution
Yeah, meaning half of US is okay with it.
Donald the Peacemaker
Just you wait
