Alabama Lawmakers Refuse to Create 2nd Majority-Black Congressional District - Lemmy.world

why do the Democrats want to redistrict? is it because they’re losing? some other reason?
1/7 districts (14%) were majority black, but the population is 27% black. The argument was that the black voters were unfairly concentrated into one district and diluted into the other 6 so as to limit their effective representation in the government.
who forced them to live in that district? couldnt they just move? presumably they’d move somewhere else, not stay in Alabama
Couldn’t you stop trolling? Too difficult, I guess
asking questions is trolling now? I guess I can see why Socrates was poisoned to death
Just asking questions

Just asking questions (also known as JAQing off, or as emojis: "🤔🤔🤔"[1]) is a way of attempting to make wild accusations acceptable (and hopefully not legally actionable) by framing them as questions rather than statements. It shifts the burden of proof to one's opponent; rather than laboriously having to prove that all politicians are reptoid scum, one can pull out one single odd piece of evidence and force the opponent to explain why the evidence is wrong.
