edit: seems like some people interpret “full of” as a mathematical majority which, while it may or might not be true instance to instance, isn’t my intent in posting

feel free to swap in “has a lot of” if that’s more familiar language to you :)

i guess, but they voted for that too

the voting rights act was only in 1965. in a significant number of cases, no they did not

the 19th amendment was in 1920. in a significant number of cases, no they could not

it is demonstrably harder to vote if you are poor and harder to vote informedly if you are poor and uneducated all the way through 2025. no they did not vote for this.

thank you for proving exactly why this post needs to exist. class consciousness, not culture war.

people are changing the gerrymandering lines at some regularity and those people and their changes are quite specifically put in place on purpose and the voters continue to go down that road because they want the result of having more voting power. so yeah, they voted for it

partially false, you rightfully fault government officials for allowing gerrymandering but voters are never given the choice. the majority of voters oppose gerrymandering.
