This is why Dems need to do more groundwork, knock on doors and get out the vote drives. Need to increase turnout numbers.
This is where reading comprehension really helps. If district A used to be 75% Republican and district B was 40% Republican before gerrymandering, and after gerrymandering district A is 55% Republican and District B is 60% Republican, guess what math tells us? It is now easier to flip District A! You don't need to turnout 50,000 Dems (as an example), maybe now you only need to turnout an additional 10,000. Gerrymandering makes safe districts much closer to contested districts.
Seems like you are trying to be rude. But you're saying that gerrymandering affects statewide races, so I can't possibly care about rudeness from a moron with poor reading comprehension.
Texas is a cesspool of Republican shit stains. Your school boards routinely try to make textbooks anti-science and anti-history. Your AG has been under indictment for about a decade. And now your state is stripping women of their rights to bodily autonomy. That's just scratching the surface of the fuckery, I haven't even mentioned your electric grid or plans at secession.
If after all that you're too lazy or apathetic to vote, and to organize others to vote, then yes, you're incredibly stupid and you deserve what you've got.
Now who did you say had a reading comprehension problem? I mentioned that I'm doing all those things. But you're too busy being a self righteous fuckwit to see it.
You're not worth it.You don't understand what I'm saying, and you're too stubborn stupid to actually try.
When you're ready to tell me how YOU'VE done what you're saying is easy for others, create a new user and message me from there. Until then, blocking.
I want you to tell me how, so I blocked you!
