@Nukivi19 It’s the same in the US, the most “racist” white people come from areas with diversity while the least “racist” come from homogeneous privileged communities
@xgustavxg It’s still pretty heavily democrat, but San Francisco’s districts are gerrymandered to stretch out and include the parts of Northern California that are more Republican.
I’ve heard enough and seen enough on his page, we need 100 million more like him in the West! Even better if they’re voted in by groups he loves like women, and the lgbtq community
The issue is that it was a trojan horse bill that contained provisions way beyond gerrymandering. It’s kind if disingenuous to portray it as republicans just being pro gerrymandering because they voted against the gerrymandering bill (that also had a bunch of other legislation packed in it)
1. The issue with non-partisan commissions is that they always end up being partisan. There have been multiple instances where this has occurred in different states. And in California’s case was voted aside by a slight majority vote (which kind of goes against the principle of an independent commission protecting the voting rights of the states minority party)
2. There is no “fair” criteria to districting, it’s completely subjective.
3. The way you’re portraying it as one party being against gerrymandering and corruption while the “other” party wants to keep rigging elections is completely disingenuous. Much of the legislation you claim is being opposed because it would create “fair” elections are typically omnibus bills that carry many more measures.
@awildbread@drew_erz I would support reform that would divide votes more fairly, unfortunately the world isn’t that simple and every “fix” or “ban” just opens up more issues. I just think both sides need to be held accountable and stop acting like the other side is the only one doing something wrong.
@Mo44President@So_it_goes__@airscout_@brndxix He went on a road trip and went through several major cities including Houston and Chicago. And yet you seem to have some disdain for him visiting and enjoying small town America? I think maybe you’re upset because he’s enjoying the culture that you’re clearly biased against.
@So_it_goes__@airscout_@brndxix So him being a tourist who’s just enjoying his trip to the US is far less believable than what? Him being some government plant? For what purpose?
@MaxAshField@drew_erz Except we’re talking about representation at the federal level for california. The difference between 51% and 90% there is almost 20 house seats. More than the whole state of Illinois and at times enough to flip control over the house.
But not proportional representation. Are you saying it’s fair for a party to take 90%+ of the states seats even if they win only 51% of the vote? I have a feeling the only reason you’re okay with it is because you aren’t against non democratic consolidation of power when it supports your party
California was gerrymandered well before Texas redrew their map in 2025 if that’s what you’re blaming. In 2024, California democrats made up about 60% of the popular vote but held about 83% of the seats (in the state with the most seats by a long shot). Even now if you redrew it proportionally, republicans would lose about 6 seats in texas and gain 12 in California (and that’s based off poor republican voter performance in 2026)
