"Gerrymandering" originally used on March 26, 1812, in the Boston Gazette to critique to redrawing of Massachusetts state senate election districts under Gov. Elbridge Gerry. One of the remapped, contorted districts was said to resemble the shape of a mythological salamander.

We have to stop with 'us versus them' narratives and start posting more 'all of us' narratives. Might also have to realize that your favorite political podcaster might be just as grifty as the other side.

We have to look towards things that unite us rather divides if we are to defeat our polarized culture. I might not agree with my republican friends on policy, but we can agree that the Green Bay Packers suck 🐻⬇️.

I've always had an issue with folks stating that sports is a distraction from what matters. Like we can't keep track of both sports and politics? Sports serves a distraction from our everyday reality, yes. But so does art, science-fiction, music, and whatever hobby outside of work and family.

If Republicans cut $880 billion from Medicaid: - Millions of children will lose their health care. - Funding for community health centers will dry up. - Your mom and dad may not be able to get the nursing home care they need. That's what happens when Musk runs the government.

This just adds to the "dems in disarray" narrative. It also looks pretty disingenuous to platform people you've been rallying against for nearly a decade. It's now easier for the right to say that the dems have been gaslighting this whole time....

Looks at the dems since Reagan. This is entirely the case. The only times they've risen to the moment is during economic crises and that was only to settle the markets back down. When Trumps crashes the economy, the dems will rise up and 'fix' only because the shareholder class told them to do so.

I tend to agree. Just because the set up is suboptimal doesn't mean we should stop keep pushing towards a more free society. The amendment process exists and nothing this administration has done so far is permanent.
