White people are lazy and look for any reason to not do something, like vote. Polls convinced white people that Trump had zero chance, so they stayed home and presumably got high

You said the reason Repubs took the house and senate was because of jerrymandering and voter disenfranchisement. Well, they are in complete power now, so if that is the case, those two things aren't going to change, which means following that train of thought they will always be voted into power in future elections.

lol what that does not follow at all

Hey I did say they intentionally sabotage themselves. They make tiny bits of progress each term.

Democrats are like 3 steps forward then they screw up so Republicans can take us 2 steps back.

Electoral College's inflation of midwest votes




It's really weird how literally no -one was talking about this before the election, and instead were in fact saying the electoral college basically guaranteed hillary's victory. Like no joke literally nobody thought the EC would hurt Clinton and every station was going on and on about how the map was impossible for Trump to win on. To complain about it now is utterly pathetic to be quite honest! Don't be pathetic!

Reminder: Hillary campaigned a lot in California specifically because she was afraid of winning the electoral college by a good margin but would lose the popular vote :lol: :lmao:
Meanwhile she went the midwest, actual swing states, a couple times and basically ignored the unions there. So cry all the crocodile tears you want about the EC but the reason Hillary lost was mostly because her campaign was breathtakingly bad.

On your other points gerrymandering and voter laws play a role but you are greatly oversimplifying the matter, probably because you don't really know much about it. For example most studies show voter laws can only change the vote by a couple percent and in most places the difference is far greater. The senate can't be gerrymandered by loving definition. Really the huge problem is that a lot of the dem base refuses to show up in non-presidential year elections, while republicans have only really stayed home in 2006. And it gets far worse when you look at state races, which is exactly why gerrymandering benefits republicans and not dems, on average. The democratic party has completely ignored state races for over a decade now and have been completely slaughtered there. There's absolutely no reason the dems shouldn't be bigger players in places like Florida.

Basically there's a lot more going on than voter disenfranchisement and weird district lines. Fun fact: some gerrymandering is heavily supported by minority rights groups because it can lead to more minority representation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerrymandering_in_the_United_States#Affirmative

Basically it's a lot more loving complicated than you think.

Illinois 4th is probably one of the most commonly refereed to examples, and it was created that way by Daley to increase Latino power, since it's a kinda smart idea to get the fastest growing minority group on your side.
