I don't know what I just read, it's like an article in a high school newspaper. How many times can this bitch say gerrymandering?

And the two-senators-per-state system (which awards people in Republican Wyoming 70 times more voting power than people in Democratic California) gives a big advantage to rural, Republican states.

lol, they'll never stop crying about this, liberals are condensing in 7 or 14 states and think it's unfair they can't control the senate.

Because of partisan gerrymandering and other factors, Democrats could win by eight percentage points and still not gain control of the House

It's called the electoral college how is that gerrymandering? It's working as the founders intended and prevents mob rule.

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority has protected Republican minority rule.

It's been so conservative that they're now crying and worrying about Roe vs Wade and gay marriage.

The backlash is coming. It is the deserved consequence of minority-rule government...God willing, at the ballot box and not in the streets.

Take it to the streets and I bet you and even your future grandchildren won't think about going to the streets again.

Vox argued that Democrats should be emboldened by winning more of the Senate popular vote. And it and other outlets have pointed to this statistic as proof that Republicans perhaps didn't really win a mandate for their agenda in 2016.

What? Every politician in the senate won the popular vote in their state. It's not a national election and it has nothing to do with gerrymandering. If California and New York have more voters it doesn't matter. You get two senators no matter the population or votes cast in your state.
