I guess Californians believe that Marin and 'Jefferson' have equivalent interests and can be well served the same representative without disenfranchising anyone

I guess Californians believe that Marin and 'Jefferson' have equivalent interests and can be well served the same representative without disenfranchising anyone... and that because it's more natural for a state with 2.23 democrats per republican to have 5.3 democrat representatives for every republican rep than the current 4.7 dem reps per republican.
- danorama 11mo agoAnd what does the Texas Legislature believe about Texas’s Democratic voters? Do tell.
- nullc 11mo agoWhat do I care about texas? If a texan jumped off a bridge would you do so too? Did Texas have a nationally leading and hard won anti-gerrymandering law shown to be meaningless?
- danorama 11mo agoAh, the bridge jumping argument. What about if someone takes a slug at you when you’ve done nothing wrong? Or challenges your HN comment? You respond. No, Texas has no such law, and that’s a shame. If Texas had, it might have prevented this situation. California is being repeatedly threatened by the Trump Republican government. The threat was exacerbated by the Texas Legislature (not the voters, of course). California voters would never have approved Prop 50 without them.
