I'm not happy about that anymore. I used to think part of moving the country forward meant someone had to start with being the bigger person and making sacrifices in the interest of the common good, and maybe others would follow.
8 years later, seems pretty clear that isn't happening. Republican-controlled states are getting even worse with vote suppression and don't appear to give the slightest amount of ****s about making elections more fair.
California voted 62-33 for Clinton, and 25% of its Congressional delegation is Republicans. A little less than the popular vote share, but reasonable.
Meanwhile, in North Carolina, Trump edged out a 51-47 win. 3 of their 13 representatives are Democrats. Same story in razor-thin and Republican-controlled (at the state level) Michigan - 9 Republicans, 5 Democrats. Pennsylvania, where Republicans had full control of 2011 redistricting: 13 Republicans, 6 Democrats.
So, **** it. **** California's fair districts:
Take these ****s in the Sierras and mesh each part of them with a different area of Sacramento. Take Darrell Issa's district in armed forces-heavy north San Diego County and figure out how to snake it through to include East Los Angeles. Send 50 Democrats and 3 Republicans to Washington and tell the red states we'll cease and desist when they do it too. Make it a compact like the national popular vote one.
So ****ing frustrating when only one group cares about working to the betterment of the country.

You are a ideological one side flack who can't think straight. You probably think that anyone who thinks different than you has a devil tail. And you have no knowledge of population geography that goes into distracting. Also you must think that when the Dems are in charge they are perfectly honest and fair. You want to gerrymander California so you show yourself to be a political hack. And you are very ignorant as well. You didn't have the guts to serve your country but, if you did you'd know that military people keep the state residency of the state they enlisted from. So they vote absentee in local and national elections. Happy Veterans Day from a disabled vet who joined to protect democracy from someone like you who doesn't believe in it.
