Congress has approved legislation that would prevent any president from withdrawing the United States from NATO without approval from the Senate or an Act of Congress. The measure, spearheade…
This is exactly right - of course, there may be some gerrymandering forced in, but often times a consensus is reached by sitting legislators locally to gerrymander local districts because it can ensure the political longevity of both the left/right candidates who do it.
Amazing to me that we would have “progressives” downvoting this comment - as if there’s real faith that the Democrat party has their best interests at heart, lol.
Yea I don’t know why people are down voting it. Gerrymandering has been going on for over a century, and it’s not going to stop, because both parties benefit from it. It’s odd how often progressives will defend Dems, and as you said… they don’t have their best interests in mind at all, like hold them to a higher standard. Just saying “well at least they’re not Republicans” is not a good thing.
