The one I find shocking is Ohio. Democrats won statewide races by as many as 8 points. In return for this stunning political rout, they were rewarded with… neither house of the state legislature.
Their big victory was (barely) breaking the supermajority in the state senate! It’s antidemocratic.

Will we have the votes to kill the filibuster to pass a gerrymandering ban? Seems pretty straightforward to say that we are bypassing the antidemocratic procedural hurdle to get rid of the antidemocratic political hurdle.

Dave & Ronni discuss how Jillian Segal's latest 'report' is a bizarre, antidemocratic ambit claim for the Israel lobby.
And PM Albanese's appointment and apparent full support of his Special Envoy for Israel only bleeds what is left of his credibility.

If we had fully free & fair elections, the wave would’ve been even bigger. We need to still fix our broken, deeply antidemocratic & counter majoritarian institutions. Just winning every election forever on a tilted playing field is not full democracy & not a strategy for defeating authoritarianism.
A thread: even though the GOP didn't gain seats they held seats they otherwise shouldn't have through gerrymandering.
🧵: I think gerrymandering cost Texas Dems roughly 10 House seats despite the GOP losing 6 intended seats and nearly several more.
Texas’ geography would be awful for them without gerrymandering. Suburban Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston would have been a bloodbath like in the statewide races

DHS is younger than my youngest kid ffs. It's a wildly illiberal and antidemocratic institution - it must be abolished and the earth salted behind it.

The recent Ohio congressional gerrymander failed.
But that the unrelated statehouse gerrymander needed a statewide margin of 8pts to even break the supermajority definitely shows how antidemocratic we are.
Not enough people grasp how bad it is here.

i'm a cautious person but i don't see a downside. we win and nullify one of the most antidemocratic elements of our constitutional system or we get SUPREME COURT STRIKES DOWN POPULAR VOTE headlines ahead of the push to expand this illegitimate court

The massive blue tsunami must not mask the fact that 🇺🇸 elections are not fully free & fair, because of gerrymandering & systematic attempts at mass voter suppression & widespread unequal access to suffrage. Winning is good but not enough. We still have to fix our broken antidemocratic institutions.
Dems won between 51 and 55% of the statewide vote in Texas tonight and yet just 14 of 37 (38%) of the Texas Congressional seats. That’s gerrymandering and the reason why, even after a huge wave election, Dems won’t have nearly as large of a majority as they should.

The Electoral College is inherently antidemocratic and should be abolished asap
