This guy is so friggin smart. The racists will love him even more...







"Florida’s Senate redistricting committee already agreed on a map that will give Republicans a 16-12 edge over Democrats when it comes to favorable districts, but DeSantis wants more. The governor’s map would give Republicans an 18-10 edge.

On Sunday, DeSantis’ office submitted his proposal for a way to redraw Florida’s district lines, and unsurprisingly, his plan would diminish the power of Black and Hispanic voters in the state. The governor’s proposal isn’t binding, but he wields veto power over any redistricting proposal passed in the GOP-led state House and Senate.

The Sentinel also found DeSantis’ proposal would “dilute Hispanic voting power in South Florida by splitting up Hispanic voters into several different districts.”
 
Yea, the Lincoln Project- -very creditable source.
Why does the left call everyone who doesn't agree with them a racists, yet they support democrat racist policies.
Of course there is no proof DeSantis is a racist, but there is proof Biden is a racist and democrats have racist policies like defund the police and open borders that hurt minority population.
Don't forget if you don't vote for Biden, you aren't black. Can you imagine if DeSantis said that.

So, tell us, what good is DeSantis doing with this new redistricting map for Hispanics? Bring on the positives!!

WTF??? I don't remember any republicans shooting police, pointing lasers in police eyes, throwing water bottles, fireworks or bricks at police during 2020. Only Biden voters.

WTF??? How do you know the political party of all people who shoot/shoot at police?

No more then you can tell the political party of someone hitting a cop with a flag pole.
It's a very good assumptions the killings, destruction and injuries during the summer of 2020 were not Trump voters.

Don't worry. No one will notice what you're trying to do here.

And I'm sure democrats never do this. Ho Hum.
 
OMG....stop the presses! LIBERALS WHINE ABOUT GERRYMANDERING!

Meanwhile, they remain predictably quiet when a Democrat governor goes against his own promise to the voters and does the same thing.


Pritzker had repeatedly promised to veto partisan maps, even campaigning on amending Illinois’ constitution to create an independent commission responsible for drawing state legislative maps.

But Pritzker reneged on his promise and signed a gerrymandered state legislature remap, which was ruled unconstitutional for violating the state’s “equal protection” clause. The same legislative map passed by Pritzker received an F grade from the Princeton Gerrymandering Project’s Redistricting Report Card.

Thd Illinois map barely begins to balance the overwhelming apartheid gerrymandering totals that far-reichist states have that you support and defend.

Texas, Georgia, Virginia last decade, North Carolina even worse this decade, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, crack and pack is the nazified GOPutin fascistic way.

Oklahoma, Utah, Colorado with a fair map, Missouri, Alabama. Check out the surgical precision of the gop amerikkka.

Yeah yeah yeah... :ROFLMAO:

Yet, democrats do it when it favors them. Don't even try to argue about it.

Hypocrisy is the name of the game these days.
The only real difference is that when they do it, they say it's for something like equality. And if they see a republican doing it, they claim that it's because the republican is racist...

Oh the irony.

It's a ugly process whether it's called redistricting or gerrymandering. Even the so called independent redistricting commissions are infiltrated with party hacks from both parties.

The only issue here, is that such a process has to take place. I don't really that they have to take part in gerrmandering, but the fact of the matter is, that lines have to be drawn somewhere and at some point. So there's always going to be claims of gerrymandering when it's actually there, and when it never actually took place. All because the system is just that fragile.

Republicans prefer storming the capitol attempting to hang politicians for not installing a right wing dictator.

Biden isn't right wing and he's already president...
So you're already wrong on multiple counts.
 
Nobody cares what you think.
I know you don't care how wrong you are, because that's probably the most endearing part of your personality.

But apparently you cared more than enough to let it punch a nice hole in you.

Wasn't wrong at all. And still, nobody cares what you think.

Were they waiving Biden flags? No.
 
And I'm sure democrats never do this. Ho Hum.

Democrat controlled states tend to favor bipartisan commissions much more often.

Conveniently so.

Jan. 6th proved more than enough why BLM started. White, male, and afraid minorities would take over America without Trump in there to hold them down, that's the profile of people who attacked our capital. I don't think it's a surprise black people feel unequally treated. Don't put the cart before the horse.

Fighting suppression is a lot different than fighting against democracy in this country. Protesters are not the same as insurrectionists. Apples and Oranges. The only connection between Jan. 6th and BLM protests is the momentum proved what black people have been concerned about, that's the only connection.

The irony and fake naivete doesn't translate well on here with me. Sorry. This isn't your first rodeo. I know where you stand.
Your parties new movement is turning America into a third world shit show.

What would I like about that? DeSantas is on board with more conspiracy theories than I can count. He doesn't trust our government and he's making laws to prove it.

Again, how will those maps benefit minority voters? You haven't answered that question.
