But I cited evidence today that Democrats benefit from gerrymandering. It's right there on 538's projections.
I'm aware that some Democrat redistricting maps were thrown out in the last 6 months, but it seems that *despite* that, Democrats are still projected to get a net benefit from gerrymandering.
You’d have to prove to me much of a D improvement…losing NY was a massive deal. That was supposed to be the big equalizer but it went to zero. You can’t just shrug about losing the NY gerrymander. Changed everything in the favor of the Rs.
the wildcard is that no one knows how the Hispanic vote will break without DJT on the ballot. Hard to predict gerrymanders until we know that.
dave WasserMan might the the expert on this and sees the NY and FL redistricting awarding the Rs 3-4 seats.
You're overthinking this. You don't need to analyze ANY redistricting maps. All you have to do is look at how 538 projects popular vote vs. majority of seats. We won't know who 'benefited' more from the map until after the results are counted. But right now they project the Democrats are slightly more likely to benefit.

I’d only trust articles about the gerrymander if they were written after April 2022 when the Dems lost NY. Anything written before is not valid. When was the 538 article written?
although I don’t really understand your argument so maybe I’m not being responsive.

I'm citing today's 538 house projections that get updated every day. Monkey Skyping linked a different article from March.

I do wonder what this country would be like without Fox. It's created an entire world view of incredibly violent American cities. All eaten up by the m'agas. Such a shame.
And I'd add in that old folk watch massive amounts of crime TV shows, just to reinforce the 'violent city' narrative.
Our own dirty joe has told us that he refuses to go to US cities because of the crime he sees on the news. Multiply that by 100 million and here we are. A totally false sense of America and false fear. All for rating and dollars.
Capitalism will indeed sell the rope needed to hang itself.
Chris Hayes @chrislhayes Cannot overstate the degree to which gruesome surveillance footage of black people committing violent crimes has become the quasi-permanent wallpaper on Fox these days. Just over and over and over...
Herschel Walker, the football legend now running for Senate in Georgia, says he wants to completely ban abortion, likening it to murder and claiming there should be “no exception” for rape, incest, or the life of the mother. But the Republican candidate has supported at least one exception—for himself. A woman who asked not to be identified out of privacy concerns told The Daily Beast that, after she and Walker conceived a child while they were dating in 2009, he urged her to get an abortion. The woman said she had the procedure and that Walker reimbursed her for it. She supported these claims with a $575 receipt from the abortion clinic, a “get well” card from Walker, and a bank deposit receipt that included an image of a signed $700 personal check from Walker.
he woman said Walker, who was not married at the time, told her it would be more convenient to terminate the pregnancy, saying it was “not the right time” for him to have a child. It was a feeling she shared, but what she didn’t know was that Walker had an out-of-wedlock child with another woman earlier that same year.
I do wonder what this country would be like without Fox.
In particular, it (and other right-wing "news" sources) could lead someone like SV to think that illegal immigrants are committing a majority of violent crime in certain states...because the relatively rare violent crimes committed by "illegals" get a disproportionate amount of play and can lead an SV-type to a conclusion that is wildly at odds with reality.
Whether it be POC or cities, Fox "News" and its clones know what their audience *wants* to see--and gives it to them, accuracy/fairness/proportionality be damned.

Without Fox News we would have a starkly distorted view of the goings-on in the country. MSNBC, CNN, ABC News and other "news" organizations will simply not cover anything that is damaging to the Democrat party. A lot of that is vital information for the nation know about. Like Stacy Abrams' running mate got a DWI. We won't learn about that on CNN and MSNBC. Fox News is the only objective news source out there.

how would you know since you don't watch Fox News?

Joe Biden says he was raised in a Puerto Rican family. CNN would not cover that lie.
President Biden surveyed the damage in Puerto Rico left by Hurricane Fiona and announced $60 million in federal assistance to help the island recover from the storm

Just stop it. But good on you for showing why Fox is a problem - making simpletons believe lies.
Here's an actual news org covering that. Joe meant he worked with many from PR in Delaware politics.
I'm gonna do it. I consider you a decent bloke at heart but unless you take back your fox lie I will call you the m word. More than once.
The president also reflected on what he described as a long-standing personal relationship with the territory, saying his home state of Delaware has a large share of Puerto Rican residents. “I was sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community at home, politically,” the president said.

Biden keeps saying he was "raised" by groups with whom he seeks to bond on the stump. In reality he went to an elite Catholic School in Delaware for HS where there were few Hispanics and Blacks to raise him. His cultural appropriation is hypocritical.

Just keep excusing right wing media lies. Cool, cool, cool.
We find ourselves with a decrepit brain-addled moron in office just as North Korea is shooting missiles over Japan and Russia's famed doomsday nuclear submarine has gone missing. Joy.

But Kamala said North Korea is a strong ally of ours.
I don’t get the criticism. ‘Conservatives’ lie about most things and prefer to vote for serial liars. Walker is just being a proper ‘conservative.’ Should get him more votes, not fewer votes.
Herschel Walker: —Lied about owning a nonexistent company —Lied about being an FBI agent and cop —Lied about graduating in the top 1% —Lied about graduating from college —Lied about being HS valedictorian —Lied about his secret kids Now he’s lying about the abortion he paid for.

Biden lies every time he opens his mouth and you're proud to have voted for him.
And just to recap for the straight-up morans, AND those who also tend to roll their eyes at what they view as "extreme" comments about the R party:
1) Almost 2 years later, no proof whatsoever that the election was "stolen" from Donald Trump.
2) And yet if, as an R, you state this fact - i.e., you don't tell a clear lie - you stand a 100% chance of being viciously attacked by Trump, fellow R politicians, and tens of millions of Trumpers. And depending on your district/state, likely a much, much diminished chance of being re-elected.
Simple facts. Unthinkable as recently as 2016. This is where that party has gone. Wanna tell yourself that this compares to tolerance for transgenderism, or (possibly) marginal differences in crime or illegal immigration, or student loan forgiveness, or....
Sure, one can. And one would be 100% wrong.
You wake up dumber every day...
What’s fascinating is that the same Rs for whom you vote don’t ACTUALLY disagree with #1 (or #2, for that matter). They’re just too scared and/or unprincipled to say it publicly. As contrasted with you, who might actually truly believe it, and whom they no doubt privately laugh at for being so dumb. So, a phenomenally dumb position, rewarded with the disdain of those you support. Impressive. But yeah, I’m the dummy, no doubt.
