minus-squarebstix@feddit.dklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12arrow-down2·6 months agoI wish it was possible to vote strongly enough for gerrymandering to be irrelevant. Another 51% win for Biden will certainly trigger another violent inssurection attempt and another 4 years of inaction. The best outcome would be a landslide victory if only to show the republican voters that their ideas are not supported by the general public.
