North Carolina's political maps are expected to give Republicans majorities in the state legislature, and the U.S. House of Representatives delegation, even if Democrats win a majority of the statewide vote.
I’m glad we can hop out and instantly bothsides this one by comparing insidious shit the DNC does choosing its presidential candidates vs. gerrymandering to prevent voters from having any choice about their specific districts’ leadership in the general.
Amazing, though, how much a defeatist attitude like yours can, and will, accelerate that process. (So, yeah, arguments like this are a HUGE PART OF THE PROBLEM!!!)
Southern Strategy and decades of propaganda fed to fear-addicted racists is what lead to Donald Trump.
The only way past “better than the only other option” is when there is such overwhelming support behind the guy who does not want a Long Knife that we can safely vote for an actual preference. Or a sane voting system would be fine too.
