It is a fact that the popular vote nationwide and state by state is higher than the seats the Democrats won. Gerrymandering (practiced by both parties agressively  over the decades) has been the primary reason but clustering in urban areas is another. Plus small states (pop)Wyoming, Alaska, Montana all get one seat minimum and tend to trend conservative, which deprecates the urban center voters.

This is fine and legal, until like this year the courts stepped in and demo nstrated that people of color were getting stiffed. Nothing to do with the parties, the court just wanted to ensure one person's vote counted the same

He claims number of votes not taken (70), blames it on gerrymandering by the gop, his posts tend to fabricate his opinions into stated facts, not just this OP, but almost every one he participates in

If you followed the entire discussion, the original response was to another poster, so I think the answer to your question is no.

Don't get me started on how Cooper and that election in 2016. He was only elected because someone "found" some votes in Durham which got Cooper elected. 

NC is a purple state because of all the transplant Yankees coming down here for a better QOL and a lower COL. The only problem is that they are raising the COL and voting in the same people that they left in the NE. 

 

The Dems had control of NC for over a 100 years before the Republicans took control in 2010 and changed the Congressional maps. The maps got redrawn in 2016 and.more than likely next year as well. 

Well let me set my mint julep down  and applaud your condemnation of Yankee carpetbaggers defiling your precious state (I assume your statement was in jest, we both know the civil war is over)

 

You seem to be overlooking how NC haa been transformed into a world class coastal elite state with the influx of money and talent due to your excellent research triangle and modern manufacturing. 

 

Back to the topic, the courts found gerrymandering in NC case violated civil rights, it was just established to close to the election to redraw the maps. So the courts have already said they will be redrawn.

No you are not who I was referencing, do you just make stuff up and pass your opinion off as fact?

Troof.  I've seen it more here in the past month than in the 45 years previous.

 

"Racism" must be getting long in the tooth.  "White devil" still has some life left, however.

Obviously, there is an elite clique around here with it's own secret language and inside jokes. 

 

Sorry not my gig.

They get a lot of positive reinforcement from each other. The majority of threads are made for that purpose.

 

Makes me wonder what life outside the forums are like

It's just a few who have been on VJ for many years, and have seen many different acronyms being used.

 

If it helps, MDL = Muddy Ditch Left

 

TDS is on you,  since it is a term on the internet, not just VJ.
