What a thoroughly dumb argument. Districting is based, or meant to be based, on rational ethnically balanced geographical organization. Districting becomes improper when lines are drawn for the purpose of destroying the balance that would be achieved by rational districting, as in configuring a district's lines to artificially lump racial minorities in a single district thereby diluting their voting power. Your idea that "ideas" are or should be a foundation of districting is amazingly stupid.FOS » 17 Nov 2022, 11:18 am » wrote: ↑ Following the election I have heard a lot of murmurs about redistricting and maps etc. This is popular on npr, for example https://www.npr.org/2022/10/18/11262878 ... n-american
Now...the average Democrat will look at stories like this and conclude 'yeah, white people are racist' and think no more about it.
But alas. I was cursed with the inconvenience of having greater intelligence than a walnut. So when i see a story like this i cannot help but think: "okay, you admit that the voting process is nothing more than a racial headcount. It isn't about ideas it is just about the demographics of the people voting. Does not that very admission prove that all the foundational principles of the modern usa are simply ****? That this is not a legitimate country?"
