Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

How would a computer program be manipulated to favor a certain party? The computer program would probably have a cursor start from the top of a state and move from left to right. Once it encompasses a specific population number it would put a figure around it and mark it as a district. Once it reaches the right border of the state, it would go down and move to the left. This would continue until the state is complete.
Copying your reply from another comment just shows how little you can actually refute anything.
How do you plan to offset the rampant corruption endemic in the companies that would be writing your miracle program, quiz kid?
How do I know that you read my replies to others? How would corruption affect the program I mentioned?
How would a company's ethics and business strategy affect the software they write for the customer holding all the money and writing the regulations?
Are you literally incapable of critical thought?
You haven't explained how a company's ethic and business strategy would affect the program I mentioned. Suppose this company had to design a program for a robot which made hamburgers. How would this company's ethic and business strategy affect this.
A burger company has no vested interest in making a partisan burger making program because the way a program makes burgers can't force people into categories where a political outcome is more likely
A company writing a districting program for an easily bribed government has a vested interest in writing a program which will then divide people into groups who are likely to vote in a government who will then be amenable to writing regulations beneficial to the company, creating a self-fulfilling bribery circlejerk.
Which you would very well know if you weren't a troll arguing in bad faith.
This is the last reply you're going to get out of me, since your comments on ICE have made any further engagement with you a moot point.
I don't interact with bootlickers.
You continually refuse to explain how you would make my example computer program partisan. My hamburger making analogy shows that it's not possible to alter the software program for other reasons. The head of the company making the program might be sexual promiscuous but that won't affect the program.
The Senate just ended the partial shutdown without curbs on ICE. It appears Senate Democrats agree with me that they might get the blame for the long lines at airports.
