your IM: Dems are locked out of power in Washington and 2/3 of state legislatures

Posted by ML (aka Iadodger) Jan 18 '17, 13:09

But hey, it's all good man. Party on.

  - y'know, whatever the truth of this is, harping on this narrative is totally useless..... - x Jan 18, 13:22 12
    - I'm not harping. I'm also not running. Nor advising anyone who is running. Nor would I suggest anyone running to use this argument to try to win votes. -- (edited) - ty97 Jan 18, 13:26

        Which goes back to the messaging point: how to message to more of the people in the spread out space. -- nm - ty97 Jan 18, 13:30

        I think it *should* come up a lot. The GOP has in many cases rigged the deck in their favor - ty97 Jan 18, 13:34 2
        
        Hell, the outgoing President was widely known to have gerrymandered his Illinois state seat. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jan 18, 14:01 1
        
        Well, the Republicans and Democrats take turns in Illinois. - . Jan 18, 14:27
