Re: We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago
To sum that up - a reporter used basic functionality of Chrome dev tools to see that the state Department of Education site was sending teachers' SSNs to everyone, he informed them so that they could fix it... And as a response the Governor is opening a $50 million investigation and seeking to press charges against that reporter.

It doesn't matter to me which side does it worse because both sides are wrong for doing it.

Re: We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago
Is your issue with the act of gerrymandering or is your issue mainly with Republicans gerrymandering? Seems less about the actual gerrymandering imo. If it doesn't bother you when your side does it then you'll get no sympathy from me about it. It's either wrong or it's not.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 4:44 pm just google “which party uses and benefits more from gerrymandering”

You tell ’em, illy. Aspirin has side effects and cyanide has side effects. Side effects are side effects. If it doesn’t bother you that both have side effects then you get no sympathy.

Republican gerrymandering and Dem gerrymandering are the exact same act with the exact same purpose.
Not your best effort, but i know you'll turn it around.

trolling?
i’ve made it abundantly clear what me thoughts are in this subject. redistricting should be done by an independent body ideally, but at minimum by a bipartisan committee
of course it’s bad when both sides do it
such a dumb thing to say. maybe stop worrying so much about who is on what side...it’ll free your mind up to discuss people’s actual views...if that’s really what you’re interested in doing
why do you continue to downplay the actual, on the ground outsized ramifications of your side doing this - disenfranchising and suppressing the will of the people?
Re: We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago
Because apparently if the Dems do it once, it nullifies anyone's right to complain about the 100 times the GOP does it. You know, hypocrisy and all...
