The reason Republicans are pushing so hard on gerrymandering is because they’re looking at a significant loss in seats given just how abysmal this admin’s policy polling is.
What part of my response makes you think I didn’t understand that? This decision didn’t change the underlying context which lead to Republicans starting this gerrymandering contest

Your words and how you use them are what makes me think you don’t understand things.

Who gives a fuck? It doesn’t matter who started it at this point or even why they started it. If Republicans are allowed to gerrymander and Democrats its cooked, and barring like, statistically impractical levels of unpopularity, which no sensible person should rely on as part of strategy, there is only so much you can do when you are playing the game on a broken board.
And I fully understand the math behind gerrymandering. All of it, as in, I’ve had to develop and implement algorithms for doing similar process for making maps professionally. Yes gerrymandering weakens the map for the GOP, but they’ll need to do far less of it because of this decision, and they’ll be able to do so far more safely because of the decision earlier in the week.
jfc you are literally confusing Democratic led gerrymandering and GOP led gerrymandering in this conversation thread and then you want to make claims regarding reading comprehension.
They just want to be right, that’s all it comes down to. They do this a lot around here, they simply refuse to consider anything but their own opinion, so when someone challenges that, they lose their mind and thus their reading comprehension. They also love to twist your words to make it seem like you’re the one that doesn’t understand (as they’ve done to several people, including myself, in this thread).
I’m absolutely right that these seats in Virginia are critical for Dems taking the house in November. I’m also right in that simply relying on voter sentiment around “how bad Republicans are” is a strategic disaster for Democrats, consistent with the manner in which Democrats have developed most of their electoral losses over the previous 3 decades. If thats the Democrats strategy for responding to continuous and ongoing gerrymandering by republicans, they’re cooked. Sentiment can only carry you so far when the board is allowed to be so structurally disadvantageous towards one side.
If you have a problem with something specific I’ve said go pick it out instead of having a little circle jerk side bar. I’m correct both in-fact and in analysis on these issues. Parliment is literally confusing two separate but related topics around gerrymandering. You don’t need me to tell you that, you can just read the words they write.

You’re the one missing the context.
You get that this decision, which is effectively against gerrymandering, hurts Democrats and helps Republicans right?

Oh, I see. It’s your reading ability that’s holding you back. For multiple comments in a row you’ve responded to things people didn’t say
You just want to argue and it’s clear you’re not even sure what conversation you’re arguing IN.

Thank you for continuing to confirm you can’t read for shit.
Because no I didn’t.
