The thing that continually frustrates me about gerrymandering is that this ought to be a solved problem. It's probably the clearest heuristic search problem I've ever seen.

Just smush them together into multi-member districts and be done with it, imo.

It's really funny how easy it is to get by with limited french in actual france compared to in french canada. Like french in france is like 90% just english nouns and french verbs said in a french accent, compared to like montreal which is always ultra traditional french that seems as intentionally distant from english as possible.

It is explicitly trying to be as distant from English as possible. Outside of Quebec the francophones are far more chill though and routinely use English nouns and such for words that don't really exist in French.

“Want your boat, Georgie?' Ann Coulter asked. 'I only repeat myself because you really do not seem that eager.' She held it up, smiling. She was wearing a baggy silk suit with great big orange buttons. A bright tie, electric-blue, flopped down her front, and on her hands were big white gloves, like the kind Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck always wore.

"gently caress off you fascist," George said, looking into the stormdrain.

Conventional wisdom posted here all the time is that Gerrymanders break down in a strong wave, and Moore was a whopper of a wave. So how did it hold up so well? These are just extremely good gerrymanders, or something else going on?

Montreal is easy since everyone speaks English anyway. Even the Barnes & Noble hides all the French books in the basement and most of the movies are in English. The countryside of Quebec is like a worm hole into some rural french village that hasn't seen an Englishman in 100 years. Like you can be at the Quebec Wal-Mart just inside the border and nobody speaks Sam Walton's mother tongue. I'm in the cathedral of American exceptialism and I have to dig out, "excusemoi, Tylenol avec troi" Which was the only reason to go to the Quebec Wal-Mart back when they still sold that OTC.

Montreal is actually my nightmare for how things are set up. Lots of countries will have limited english speakers but all the signs and menus all have english translations for the important stuff, montreal is a place where everyone speaks english but all the signs and menus are near english free so you have to walk in every store and have the person at the counter walk you through all the information that is on all the signs like an idiot.

Republicans tend to think an informed electorate is the best one and if you only want informed people to vote then you need to discourage uninformed people. You do that by making it a 'little' tougher to vote. Ironically, if you expand the electorate, you get a lot of uninformed terrible Republican voters as well as uninformed terrible Democratic supporters. No one realized how big the untapped White vote was until Trump came along.

Had they known this, you would have seen Motor Voter booths at tractor pulls and you could have gotten your ID's made at pain clinics.
Hey 5 pages late but check out this bougie fascist gently caress. Declare your true allegiance, move to a gated community in the suburbs, and join your ilk that actually got Trump elected.

Life begins at conception, therefore abortion is legally murder and has to be outlawed..etc.

Basically it's one of many ways they're trying to outlaw abortion, and contraceptives in general, by slowly undermining Roe. Also could be abused for avoiding taxes.

Hilariously, as Colorado found out when they proposed this last election, it makes woman drivers able to use HOV lanes with impunity.

Of course, the next step is to outlaw women working, driving, voting or speaking, so it's a moot point if we start that spiral, but it is funny to think about.

So what do you want to be called?

This could be a decent idea, though I would be very surprised if it is able to represent minority interests even as well as the current system, but it's kind of parallel to the issue of gerrymandering. At the end of the day, you still need a way to split up districts, and doing it using a computer based system where you could easily summarize the selection criteria seems like the best way to do that.
