So one-party rule is a desirable, like Cuba, Venezuela and China? <br /><br />"Why do we need two parties? Here in Cuba [or California] we get along fine with one-party rule!" <br /><br />In a democracy the people vote in representatives, with a time limit, that govern. They represent ALL the people of that state. If they govern poorly, they are voted out. But all the people are represented all the time. You may not like your representative but that's democracy.<br /><br />Get over it.<br /><br />J C C Scrotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003881520058014228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-88655481503583826372023-05-01T13:56:21.357-07:002023-05-01T13:56:21.357-07:00They had cotton fields in Tarzana, Valley Boy?

How do you account for Tim Scott or Clarence or Wesley Hunt, John James, Byron Donalds and the rest of the Uncle Toms?

If they weren't a solid voting bloc, and there was varied voting like every other ethnic group, then no gerrymander would effect the vote. At 95% it's an easy target to nullify. The powers that be, on both sides, count on that lopsided outcome.<br /><br />Now in the Philadelphia wards it's apparent what the DNC can count on every election.<br />On every street they have 100% turnout, a statistical impossibility. If you don't vote, they vote for you. And of course it is a 100% turnout for the Democratic candidates. But if anyone ever questioned it, they call you the 'R' word.<br /><br />So in NC the same is true. Because the lapdog of the DNC never question their masters<br />and continue to vote the same, they have no voice to effect a change. If half voted for Republicans gerrymander would be a dead issue and party platforms would matter.<br /><br />That's Mr. Calhoun to you.Scrotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003881520058014228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-11734554729849180272023-05-01T12:44:01.264-07:002023-05-01T12:44:01.264-07:00It's not about where people live, Scrota, it i...It's not about where people live, Scrota, it is the fact that the numbers in the state are dead even and those people are denied of representation.

Now isn't that terrible that those few Blue<br />cities can't dictate what the Red state should kowtow to. Of course in the last 100<br />years y'all know what it meant to be a Southern Democrat, and who ran the Jim Crow concession stand. <br /><br />We all should look fondly back at the good old days of 'whites only'<br />and 'back of the bus'.<br /><br />John C.
