Both parties have been abusing this to some degree whenever the electoral ridings have been due for redrawing every 10 years as the population changes. This is the slow slide into tolerance of anti democratic practices I was talking about.
But these adjustments weren’t due until 2030. The president asking to redraw political maps 5 years early with openly expressed specific intent to gain more seats for his party is an unprecedented new low. At that point they don’t even attempt to provide the illusion of free and fair elections
I drink a 6 beers a day after work. My brother drinks 12. Which of us has a drinking problem? Just because some is worse than you doesn’t mean you are good.
Non american asking! Isn’t that a republican thing? Isn’t democrats only hated for apathy?

Republicans are the worst of all people.
Democrats are everyone else
There are some pretty shitty people who aren’t the absolute worst of humanity.

Hank Green on YouTube did a good explanation of this on YouTube a day or two ago if you’re interested.
