Everybody's in a "safe seat."<br /><br />Well, not quite; they're still refining the technique, so now we have ALL Dems in safe seats, but several of the R's districts are still being "adjusted to meet community needs." LOL.<br /><br />This seems to have upset the R's, who apparently agreed to give up power forever, in return for having a sinecure for life. Too bad if they are, they agreed to the Devil's bargain and there's no going back.<br /><br />I used to be sympathetic, but since most R's are just the tails on the Dem dogs I no longer care.Eskymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947922645001422523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15290406.post-78893355466171722872017-06-28T22:59:20.221-04:002017-06-28T22:59:20.221-04:00Looking at a couple of those maps, I can't tel...Looking at a couple of those maps, I can't tell whether they are to keep Mau-Maus out or in. What really enrages me about forced all black districts is the assumption or conclusion that a white person, especially a man, cannot represent the interests of blacks in his district. That's demeaning to all involved. <br />Unless the only thing the blacks want is free shit and a pass on thuggery, which is more and more possible lately.<br /><br />There's lots of gerrymandering without regard to race too, to protect incumbents or try to force them out with a newby from the opposing party.<br />Seems to me a district could be computer constructed by simple population and geometry, intentionally leaving out the party affiliation of the residents.<br />Lt.
