The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

But that doesn't make a Dem trying to gerrymander "OK". If it's wrong for one, it's wrong for everyone.

Sure, it's a black and white issue, right? Nope, I agree with Bill and AlphaW on this one. Fight fire with fire. It was the dems who've been trying since 2010 to enact an anti-gerrymandering bill, but no way do the pubs want to play. OK, then...

Also, as Matthew Dowd has pointed out how terrible the "enhanced" Texas gerrymandering is (since it is already gerrymandered in favor of the magats), it is extremely racist: "Texas population is more than 60% non-White, and less than 40% white. And the GOP wants to draw at least 2/3rds of the seats to hold white Republicans. Racist, undemocratic, wrong."
