President Trump on Texas map redistricting: ‘We are entitled to five more seats’

Fun fact, registered Democrats outnumber Republicans in Texas by 1.5M

Less fun fact, the GOP still wins statewide elections. That's the power of voter suppression.
I personally believe in mandatory voting. Not because more people agree with me, but because voter suppression is undemocratic. And I'm including gerrymandering as a type of voter suppression.
Depressing fact, native born Texans are more liberal than the average Texan. If it wasn't for these damn immigrants (from other states), we'd be much closer to being a blue state.
- I personally believe in mandatory voting.
  Yes. With a mandatory "none of the above" option for every office, and an actual majority of eligible voters is required to win, and if "none of the above" wins you get a new election with new candidates.
- mandatory voting
  I forget the name of it, but one option I really liked is a kind of default voting. You register with whichever party you choose, and if you don't actively vote, your vote goes down-ticket with that party. If you do actively vote, the default gets overridden with wherever you submit, to include abstentions. So, you can still 'not vote' or vote outside your party lines, but doing either requires you to actively show up.
  Still not a perfect solution, but the people's preference would be way more accurately reflected by the results.
  Combine that with some ranked choice, and... - chef's kiss -
Also fun (and sad) fact, in 4 of the last 5 Texas Gubernatorial elections, the Republican nominee and winner received fewer votes than the Democratic nominee for President from two years prior.
We can absolutely take the governorship from Abbott. We just can't be bothered to try.
- I think last election the top google search was "excuses to not vote"
Funner fact, Texas doesn't have party affiliation on voter registration!

We do have party affiliation. It's automatic by voting in a party primary and expires at the end of the calendar year. It's only there so that you can't vote in a primary runoff unless you voted in the original primary.
Your own link even says "Voters do not officially register with a political party."
So where are they getting these numbers?

You're entitled to release the complete Epstein files.

As t the very least we are entitled to see the complete Epstein files.

You're entitled to these nuts.

I hate you. I open the thread and what do I see? The comment I would’ve made if I was an hour ealier

An enlarged sense of entitlement is a classic sign of narcissism.

Trump is past narcissism.
Trump has been at despotism for at least six months.

You're not entitled to any seats. That is supposed to be for voters to decide. You're supposed to earn seats by appealing to voters

You aren't entitled to shit, lil snowflake bitch

“We” huh? This fucking guy. Doesn’t have a clue what his obligation to the American people is.

I am glad he is as old as he is. Tick, tock

Vance will be worse. Much, much worse. And it won't matter that he's not charismatic because the next elections will be rigged.
- Vance walking around his Gulag:
  "How long have you been in here?"
  "3 years sir"
  "OK. Good."
“We” is “me and my buddies”

Gerrymandering needs to be undone, not worsened.

Oh NOW these fuckers are okay with entitlements. What a fucking joke of a country.

Every person in America is entitled to take a giant shit on his grave.

Why wait until he's dead? We're entitled to shit on him now.

His sense of entitlement is insane.

As a US convicted felon, he’s entitled to three hots, a cot, and daily access to a yard. He deserves nothing more.

As someone who spent time in jail and a looney bin I can guarantee not all meals are hot. I see generally 2 cold and 1 hot. More than trump deserves. I went to jail for having an expired license. Not suspended, expired. I was in jail for three days because it was the weekend.
Trump is a felon walking around free.
- Yup, was about to say something similar. In some prisons, you’re lucky to get a bologna sandwich for lunch, which is just a single slice of bologna and cheese on white bread.
- Yeah, I knew it was too good to be true, but figured I’d use the old expression anyway. Regardless, may Individual 1 get what he actually deserves.

Just like republicans are entitled to rape kids.

Electric ones even

I thought Republicans hated entitlements...
