no one claimed gerrymandering affects presidential elections, not directly certainly. but local regressive policies and disenfranchisement also hurt oppressed people daily; that’s why all three are up there.

(one could make some pretty valid connections between local elections and lobbying money going towards national campaigns, so we can discuss that if you want but just to keep it accessible and evidence based for now)

the internet is way more culture rich than we tend to think

have given up looking for older versions to archive but
~~if anyone knows how to search usenet communities that might be where the forum OOP got this from lives~~ actually i’m pretty sure https://www.4-ch.net/dqn/index.html is the forum as it perfectly matches the description—all posts are timestamped 1993-09

cute redraw:

hey at least cucks have a hobby that doesn’t hurt anyone

90 million americans were repressed from voting via a system that disproportionately benefits the higher income

300 million americans have been gerrymandered by capital owners (from both major parties) for decades

300 million americans have been systemically restricted from education funding

fixed that for you. educate your damn self.

what you are doing is called victim blaming and it makes no one fucking respect you as an individual

so you hate waffles?

thank you for the correction

do you exclusively type in non sequiturs or is it just under this post you decided this was an effective tactic?

i don’t even necessarily disagree with you but bro go make your own post about it

pretty sure this is about the general election, after the primary, thus it’s blue against red (or blue against blue against red since apparently cuomo is deciding not to take the hint)

im also maybe seeing that schumer was saying some stuff positive about mamdami but just didn’t endorse him?

i don’t have the time to figure out all that nuance before i send this reply so for now i’ll leave it as a question mark and encourage investigation into trusted sources
