MODERATORS
70% of us realize that.
The 30% that vote republican cause this shit because they are spiteful, stupid, losers who blame everyone else for their idiocy and vote in people to hurt the ones they blame.
Unfortunately 30% in the right places is all you need to fuck up the system.
Mostly bc land had more power than people do in this country
Then it's time to bring the big changes to the partisan makeup of Congress. Turn it so blue to the point where Conservatives won't like the Major Questions Doctrine anymore since the Democrats will have Major Answers to them.
Gerrymandering
But it isn't broken. It's working perfectly and exactly the way it's desiged to. It doesn't need fixing. It needs replacing.
So fucked up that the headlines always say things like "US judge" and they ALWAYS leave out the one piece of context wanted. Look at that face and take your guess...
sigh
If broad social impacts includes preserving essential rights and freedoms, then screw it. I care not the least bit about this stupid doctrine when it's used to harm the vulnerable.
Political impact? The ability to turn anything into a shit show is astounding.
