Well, that's a new one
The formerly-blue district around Nashville, yes, that was butchered and extended out to the sticks to get R votes. But in doing so, you also put more blue voters into those red districts. If you push it too much, a big enough blue shift in those now-kinda purple districts can get multiple Dem districts - all when you tried to take away the one.
First it was GPUs because crypto, then this. Wonder what useless thing the tech bros will cover up with in a few years!
I get what you're saying, but the line I was quoting implied packing voters for your own party into one district, not the opposition. That would achieve the opposite effect.
Right, that link illustrates my point: they used to have one blue and two red districts, both very solid. When they split Nashville into pieces, the voter demographics haven't changed so they ended up with 3 red districts, but less so than before.
Hey guys, we ignored 49 other states so we had 20 seats flip red, but we won 2 in Tennessee!
Overall I agree with what you said, but...
gerrymandered to be a safe Republican district
That's not what gerrymandering is/does. People do it to end up with more districts for a party within a state, and they get that by splitting them up such that margins are thinner.
This is just a typical "in the middle of nowhere" district that makes it so Republican
And THAT, my friends, is how you change things with a Sharpie in this administration
Oh no!
Anyway...
A phone you can crumple up like a receipt before you put it in your pocket
Like all the Antifas at the Capitol on January 6!
Jesus, just get a fucking Uber like the rest of us or have a designated driver
