Omg the gop has a super majority at the house level? Yikes, I feel sorry for their citizens.
Gerrymandering, baby! If you think it sucks at the national level, it gets even worse in the states.
Some of these districts are so heavily cracked/packed that Dems would need north of a 70% turnout advantage to take a simple majority.
Thing is, you can’t gerrymander between husband and wife. Wouldn’t it be something if the wife vote showed up for Harris in MO.
That’s the noise. But the idea that women can’t be just as fascist as their husbands never seems to bare out IRL.
