    Be sure to keep that victim complex while democracy crumbles around you. Here are a few, off the top of my head things that don’t have anything to do with gerrymandering: running for local offices, volunteering for candidates, peaceful protests, donating, community organization, writing and calling local/state/national reps, shuttle services to polling locations.

    There comes a point when gerrymandering becomes mathematically impossible. Like I said…“do better Tennessee voters.”

      Pretty much all of those things have to do with gerrymandering, lmao.

      I’m used to y’all punching down at regular people to defend the Democratic party from any and all criticism, but I didn’t realize you’d also punch down to deflect blame from the Republican party too. I thought it was just a matter of party loyalty, but I guess it’s more pathological than that.

      Seriously, mentioning gerrymandering is a “victim complex?” At that point, why even care about politics at all? Everyone should stop worrying about how rigged things are and just pull themselves up by their own bootstraps! Who even cares how much democracy crumbles around me, no matter how undemocratic it gets, I’ll just, what did you suggest? Call my gerrymandered wife-beater representative and ask nicely?

      But then I guess you wouldn’t get to condescend and look down on people. I suppose that’s the real purpose of politics, huh?

      Hey, I have an idea. Maybe, since you’re so much better than everyone, you should go out to backwoods East Tennessee, drive up secluded driveways, walk past the Confederate flags in the yards, knock on their doors, and explain to them why they should vote Democrat. Sound good?
