  • Gerrymandering has been an obvious problem for decades. The only people that didn’t see a problem are those congress critters that got elected to one. (“Well, it worked to get me elected so it’s obviously not broken.”)

    The shape of my very blue congressional district in a very blue state most closely resembles projectile vomit on a linoleum floor.

    Democrats have had multiple opportunities to fix this shit over the decades, and instead they’ve just been using it to their advantage wherever possible. The Fair Representation Act has been our best opportunity to fix gerrymandering, and it died in committee in every congressional session since 2017.

    I would argue most of the elected representatives at the state and federal levels have no interest in fixing gerrymandering, because gerrymandering is what got them elected.

    We need to get an accurate count of the Sentinelese!

    Q: Why do we even do the census in the first place?

    A:Well, as a society we’ve decided that, knowing how many people we have, and where they are, and some other important demographics about them makes it easier and more efficient for the government to effectively serve to the people.

    Q: Are the Sentinelese going to benefit in any way from this?

    A: Well, no, but…

    THEN YOU DON’T NEED TO COUNT THEM!
