Good. You keep electing fascists, you deserve to suffer for your choice.

There is strong gerrymandering going on there. That form of vitoing ensures the most extreme rise to the top since the other views never have enough votes to tip an election.

Sure, but DeSantis won a statewide election, unaffected by gerrymandering. So even though FL's congress has more extreme people because of that, they're not the only ones who enacted this law. They didn't have to elect a fascist as a state, but they did.

Saying that, I do feel bad for the Floridians who didn't vote for him and get fucked over because of this. But anyone who voted for DeSantis deserves whatever they get from his cruel actions.

Governor races are just as susceptible to gerrymandering as any other race.

they are susceptible to any number off vote suppression and election meddling tactics, but an at large election can't be gerrymandered.
