    We’re not a swing state, we’re a blue state in a red hat. We’re gerrymandered to fuck. I will continue to vote as hard as possible, and push others to as well, but we’re in a bad spot.

      Well the thing is you can push things hard enough that their gerrymandering collapses hard. Yes, when the results are as the map makers predicted, the favoured party wins in many districts by slim majorities and loses massively in others. But those slim majorities can be broken from not diluting it enough, so don’t lose hope.

      ETA: Get the ladies especially to vote against the party trying to be “small government” enough to insert themselves into North Carolinians’ coochies. People rigging the map probably didn’t account for girl power.
