Democratic Gerrymandering at its finest.

Republicans are 40% of California voters but Republicans only have 17% of the Congressional seats.
Democracy dies with Democrats.
Especially dumb when they are projected to lose two seats in 2030 anyway.
To Texas and Florida!
California FReepers are dismayed to hear they will be stopped frequently on the streets and sidewalks and forced to show ID and Dem Party permission cards for being outside.
Most will not be held in jail overnight unless they hesitate to comply.
What does Trump have to do with this?
I refrain from using those stats.
I live in TN. Dems get 40 to 45 percent of tge vote but only have 1 district. That’s 11%.
The US is not parliament. You don’t get seats assigned by percentage of the vote. All of this talk about percentages of votes vs house seats is retarded.
People need to stop whining and run candidates that appeal to the electorate. You all sound like you want “participation” trophy’s. You don’t deserve to win seats.
I am surprised they didn’t max out the Democrats possible districts already. Is there really any meat left on the bone?
Constitutional Amendment?? My guess is that would be/should be a long process...so I think that’s what we have to watch.
If it makes 5 Repubs weaker, it also makes 5 dem districts weaker.
Just shows that Dems want all the power and don’t trust the people.
I hear what you’re saying but there was a decision from SCOTUS often referred to as the one man, one vote decision which related to redistricting. While I’m no law expert I think that a good case might be made under that precedence wherein a state in which 40% of voters vote for a given party but has been gerrymandered to only be allowed a 10% representation in the Congress might be a problem. That make sense or is my thinking off here?
I live in MA. It would be virtually impossible to gerrymander enough to get a Republican seat in our state. But according to some, because 35% vote GOP, we should have 3 reps? That’s just stupid.
The candidates we run are not good. It’s our own fault.
So you think that the grossly uneven distribution of dem/repub representation in gerrymandered states is not due to the gerrymandering, but due to better candidates in one party versus the other? Talk about retarded.
Democratic Gerrymandering at its finest.
There are only 9 Republican seats from California..
They ain’t making up Oh and Tx redistricting even if they got rid of every Republican district
Blue states bled themselves dry with redistricting long long ago

Excellent comment. Your example shows something that many of us (including me) often overlook.
Born and raised in CA. I liked Regan, as governor, in fact in our middle school history class we watched his first
speech as Governor.
But then all the east coast money and liberals moved in.
I abandoned that state in 1979.
Democrats have made the coast un-livable.
Burned up Pacific palisades so they could mandate
low income housing.
My only question is, how long can they survive when all the producers leave, will they will become another Detroit?
I hope the Mexicans chase out all the white liberals.
At least Mexican/Spanish people have family oriented morals.
Quite the opposite of European/African liberals perversions of family.
I lived in a Barrio, Paramount CA., it was a much better life and safer than the Compton Ghetto across the river.
I’m a white guy.
Whatever you say, Cesar.
