Wouldn't nonpartisan redistricts split up a lot of those minority-majority districts?

A lot of majority-minority districts are insanely gerrymandered to fit every single black person in a 100-mile radius in a single district. This can lead to representatives from these districts running unopposed or winning with 60+% margins, and in exchange three or four surrounding districts become Republican strongholds. A more sane form of districting could still preserve districts with a large percentage of minorities, albeit with a slightly narrower margin of support.

I think he has a real chance of lasting through the entire Primary process. He basically has a gun to the GOP's head with the 3rd party threat, and everything he's done so far has indicated he's insane enough to go through with it if they try to cut him out. He knows he's popular enough to split the vote and almost guarantee a D win.

The only out the GOP has is if his base of support gives out on its own. If attacking a POW's service record didn't do it...

"Life unworthy of life" (German: Lebensunwertes Leben) is a pragmatic liberal designation for the segments of the populace which they view as having no right to continue existing, due to the expense of extending them basic human dignity.

This should absolutely go in the OP of this thread, or some thread, I don't care.

And those majority-minority representatives fight tooth and nail to keep it that way. Corrine Brown's efforts against Florida's Fair Districts amendments come to mind. That corrupt poo poo sent a delegate to a DEC meeting in Orlando that year to speak against our endorsing the pair of them. She cares more about her own power than whether the black folks in her district are served well or not. It's pathetic and cruel, really. I really hope they carve her district up now that the current gerrymander has been ruled to violate Fair Districts.

Not sure the president can pardon himself preemptively can he? Not that you can pardon yourself out of impeachment I guess.

The US Congress does have this authority (IIRC it was cited in the recent SCOTUS case). It's not absolute but they have some say over election law.
