One radical idea: end gerrymandering through at-large U.S. House seats apportioned by partisan voting patterns. Example: 30 percent of a state votes for Democrats? There are 10 seats in that state in total? 3 go to Democrats. The same would apply for my party.
It’s fair, reflects the way people really vote and is more representative than the salamander shaped districts we currently see.
Math is fair, everyone understands it, and if voters want to change the apportionment, they have to register and vote differently.

HOT TAKE nobody on my timeline wants to hear:
Watching MAGA influencers like @NickSortor or @EricLDaugh cheer Trump telling Tennessee to redraw for a 9-0 GOP map is embarrassing.
Gerrymandering is a DISGRACE when Democrats do it.
It is ALSO a disgrace when Republicans do it.
Pick a principle and STICK to it.
Politicians of BOTH parties carving up districts to pre-select their voters is the political class rigging the game against you. That's the whole scam. Incumbents drawing safe seats so they NEVER face a real challenge.
If you cheered when SCOTUS struck down Louisiana's racial gerrymander because "the Constitution is colorblind" and districts shouldn't be drawn to engineer outcomes, then you don't get to turn around 24 hours later and demand your team engineer outcomes harder.
Voters should pick politicians. Politicians shouldn't pick voters.
End the racket. Independent maps. Compact districts. Stop letting the apparatus pre-cook your elections.
Don't tread on me. 🟧

@ClimateWarrior7 Yea, so brave new world. All pilots will be by remote control. Almost all warfare will be long range missles and drones. Carriers will go the way of battleships and Maginot line.

@micah_erfan How about you represent your state and district instead of just obeying "THE PARTRY".

There are 11 (soon to be 14) Republican states with 0 Democrats in Congress.
Even by your own metric, your party is dramatically worse.

Dear Democrats whining about Democracy: please explain to America how, out of 21 Congressional seats representing the 6 New England states, there are ZERO Republican Representatives, even though 40% of the electorate are registered Republicans, 48% in New Hampshire alone?

@JudiciaryDems Let's double the size of the HR and just have districts that represent the constituents instead of Gerrymandered corrupt districts.
English

@JudiciaryDems Eliminate all Gerrymandering because it's corrupt. Let's do proportional representation

While the Trump Administration tears down clean energy in favor of fossil fuels, California is activating a pilot project for the nation’s first solar-covered canal.
We're investing in new technologies to find more solutions for lowering costs, saving water, and preparing for a hotter, drier future.
