The funny thing is, with the exception of 04, Republicans haven’t won the popular vote since ‘88. That’s one in over 30 years.
That is because the majority of American reject Republicanism and the only reason they win the Oval Office anymore is due to the corrupt and outdated process called our Electoral College.

I'm going to push on that and just say it's oppression of asians or latinos more than other groups 😉
I stand corrected.
A famous hollywood actor of color pointed out in a blog post how LA is so full of latino's you can't walk ten steps without tripping over one, and that Hollywood has no excuse for its lack of representation.
I don't normally go in for social activist speak, but it felt good seeing someone stand up for another group that has no effect on him personally.
Originally posted by cdtmMore true of the GOP party. Democratic states actually tend to be more balanced than GOP states which experience much higher levels of representation differences based on how people vote.
This is true of anyone in power though.
For instance here in Ohio even though 42ish% of people in almost every election vote democrat the number of democratic representatives tend to be around 20%.
And you see this in a lot of red states. Less so in blue states

Luckily democrats also lead the states and areas with highest homicides, droughts and fires.......we could push on fires and droughts but not homicides. 😉 Those democrats sure care.

This almost comes off as justification attempt at saying we only cheat to win so we can save you all from the big bad democrats 😂
Originally posted by snowdragonYou can say you're part of the Bull Moose party you're still making arguments that seem to come justifying the GOP's use gerrymandering to cheat to get higher percentages of seats at the state and federal level
I'm not republican, so let's not pretend democrats are the answer and own what I said.

Yeah, they're sooooo caring, not like those mean GOP members who don't support baby murder in the name of "women's rights".

Wrong again. Gerrymandering helps the Right a whole lot more, hardly comparable.
Partisan gerrymandering has benefited Republicans more than Democrats
