    Because we are a lot smarter than you and matter more. We will just make the laws up as we go along and screw you over pretty much whenever we want. Every once in awhile we let you win one just to make it look good but we always have them secretly in our back pocket so it doesnt matter anyway.

    Pure projection. If democrats ever say republicans are doing something, you can be 100% sure that they are doing it themselves. They figure if they can get you to look over here you won't notice that it is happening in every single state that is in control of democrats.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Gerrymandering consolidates power of the minority by concentrating the majority vote to a small number of districts and the minority vote to more. Dems might get more total votes, but fewer districts. Is that too difficult for you to grasp, dumbfuck?

    Illiterate fuck.

    But it all gets worse. Fast-forward to now. Outraged by a decade of rigged elections, citizens in Ohio and other states took action to change the process of how lines are drawn. Some opted for independent districting commissions. In Ohio, more than 70% of the voters amended the Ohio constitution (twice!) to add clear guidelines to curb the type of extreme partisan districting that led to a decade without democracy.
    It was made worse by trump's Nazi like approach to the Census. He successfully kept millions of people from responding, which made it much easier for Republican redistricting.
