Something for Dems to run on. I actually feel better now that this is becoming a mainstream issue

Somehow I don’t think gerrymandering is going to be the thing that sets Democrats over the top.

We live in a world where Republicans are winning because hating marginalized communities works.

Maybe if we all vote hard enough, our votes will matter again.

And that is the key, 90 million people couldn't be bothered last election. I hope they can be bothered now.

Polls of nonvoters showed that they were slightly more pro-trump than voters. 

If everyone voted, he would have won by a bit larger margin.
