When people of a marginalized identity are sharing their experiences, and you don't share that identity, it's totally okay to not jump into the conversation, but just listen or read. It's more than ok, it's the best. Please more of that instead of "well EYE experience..." this is not about you.

I've said it before, I'll say it again:
We are not a 50/50 country. We are a gerrymandered and voter suppressed country. Should we ever resolve those issues (...), then, perhaps, we'll know the actual extent of our political divisions.

The final House results have now landed as 220-215 for the GOP. That means the House majority came down to the 3 NC seats the GOP flipped thanks to its brand new gerrymander.
And that gerrymander hinged on NC's supreme court flipping in 2022.
