Hopefully we’ll see some movement on this bill soon. Democracy is too slow.

Transparent civilian oversight is a necessity.

How do you think the courts will weigh in on the Plaintiffs claim the Missouri Governor’s“authority to create new maps without a new census or apportionment bill from the U.S. Congress.”This is the checks and balances in action. I agree with NAACP. Kehoe is “exceeding their constitutional authority”

But for you mental health you still need sleep, diet, and excise.

How can you not consume history to have a healthy diet if you want to improve your mental health.

Personally I consume a lot of garbage both physically and mentally. But hey, at least I’m “self aware”

I agree you can’t physically eat history, but please follow me on tangent I’ve yet to write out.

The pillars of a healthy physical body are equally important. Sleep, Diet, and exercise. I say this ignoring every check engine light my body gives me.

No doubt legality and morality are not completely overlapping circles. Hope you’re having a good day 👍🏼

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree on “flat” lol

It’s always wild to me how two people can see the same set of data but take away two different point. But I guess that stems for differences in our experiences. That’s life.

Do you support this federal takeover?

Media is corporate. They print to make money, not to perform journalism (mostly not all)

If we only look at the terminal, yes two percent over ten, and thirteen over 20, but that only looking at the start and end, the fluctuations in between aren’t flat.

To me it’s like saying a mountain is flat.

I wouldn’t describe the 2014-2024 data as flat. And I wouldn’t consider a federal takeover an experiment.

If crime is preventing the federal government from running, the government has the right and precedent to take action. Do you support a Federal takeover of D.C. while saying the data is flat?

Do you support a federal takeover of D.C. at this time?

I understand the need to ensure orderly function of the federal government, but if there wasn’t a need for it in 2023 why now?

No doubt there was a rise in violent crime in D.C. and nation wide 2020-2023, but it has been decreasing since.

Could this mean since I followed you I am a troll? This can’t be how I find this out!?!

Good chatting though, be safe!

I’m sure someone smarter then me could figure an imperfect but effective and equal system to represent us, but I doubt their in this thread lol

So agreeing that both sides Gerrymander, even though they shouldn’t and know better. And acknowledging that a national ban is reallocating redistricting from a states right to the federal government.
Granted there is no perfect system, how would you redistrict for effective and equal representation?

I hear you about a ban on behavior that should be self-correcting, but it’s not been corrected since its name sake in 1812. I would argue a national ban is beyond desirable, it’s necessary. I agree with the Texas Rep “voters should choose their politicians, politicians shouldn’t choose their voters”

Would you support a national ban on gerrymandering?

Granted there is no perfect system, how would you redistrict for effective and equal representation?
