Can anything be done to change the gerrymandered districts in the house or does the country and its people have to wait till 2020 for this farce to potentially end?
Is it true that in 2012, democrats got more votes than republicans yet not a majority in the house races?
Gerrymandering has created this crisis. The 2012 election re-elected Obama. HE IS THE PRESIDENT.
In the senate, democrats and republicans spent millions on both sides in the swing states. After all the campaign ads, the results came in
Democrats held seats in Florida, Ohio, Montana, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Virginia, Missouri, New Mexico and Pennslyvania. They also gained seats in Indiana and Massachusetts.
Republicans won one democrat-held seat - Nebraska. They held on in Nevada despite 45,000 voting for neither candidate and pulling out a win in Arizona after some late relevations about the democrat candidate.
So democrats why the presidency they won all the main senate battles after all the money spent. Where little attention was giving was with all those gerrymandered anti-democrat seats where 90% of the politicians can be corrupt yet still elected. So we have a house that is keeping the country hostage.
The presidency doesnt matter.
The senate doesnt matter.
The house, which is rigged like a casino, decides what is good law and what is bad and we have to live with it.
The middle east/europe doesn't sound so bad after all. At least they can kick people out.
The answer is no. The Dems did their share of gerrymandering in the 70's and 80's too to keep their seats as safe as can be which the R's are doing now. I'm with you on the issue of gerrymandering but nothing will change on that front in most states.
