@HGU @BlumeEvolution Das Argument, "14 Millionen haben nicht mitgewählt, weil sie unter 18 sind", finde ich nicht überzeugend. Man darf davon ausgehen, dass die meisten Eltern auch im Interesse ihrer Kinder wählen. Also fällt nur der Teil der Kinder durchs Raster, deren Eltern zu den drei anderen Kategorien gehören: Nichtwähler, nicht wahlberechtigte Ausländer, Wähler von Kleinparteien. – Das entscheidende Argument von @arnesemsrott ist allerdings das ideologische #gerrymandering .

For my latest article for Inquirer.net, I decided to talk about something light and fun and it is the daily puzzle game #Gerrymandle. Your aim in the game is to create electoral districts so that your political party wins more districts than other parties.

@bbd wie man an den USA sehen kann, bringt #gerrymandering nur Vorteile.
Für faschistoide Parteikonstrukte, welche zu Steigbügelhaltern korrupter, menschenfeindlicher Möchtegerndiktatoren werden.

@htpcnz @thetnholler.bsky.social
Is this really how you see people who don't vote? Most of the people I know who didn't couldn't manage the hurdles put in front of them
#VoterSuppression
or they looked at the people running and couldn't see anyone who could conceivably represent them & decided it wasn't worth the hassleScapegoating an imaginary non-voter doesn't help us fix what's wrong with this system

Today, in lieu of scheduled celebrations of a US that is held hostage by forces bent on dismantling democracy, I am re-posting an essay I wrote in September 2024, prior to the last election, about the considerable repair work that American democracy needs to protect itself from tyrants.

@br00t4c Letting people die to take control of their voting rights, the MAGA (fascist) cult will no doubt abuse them. That could just be his end, with RICO out of control, the Pretorian guard will have to step in. And the voting machines software? #VoterRigging #CancelCulture #gerrymandering #WorstPresidentEver

Hoy os traigo un juego.
En la política de Estados Unidos hay un término bastante conocido llamado "gerrymandering". Que significa básicamente cambiar las circunscripciones electorales para beneficiar a tu partido.
Porque sí, en otros sitios las circunscripciones electorales no son fijas como en España (la provincia), sino que se ajustan cada cierto tiempo supuestamente para favorecer la representatividad.
Eso conlleva que si el organismo que decide cómo se trazan las circunscripciones no es independiente... Beneficia a alguien. En Estados Unidos normalmente acaba perjudicando a personas racializadas, sorpresón.
Este juego precisamente te enseña a cómo ganar teniendo menos votos gracias a pervertir los distritos electorales, el gerrymandering.

Everyone's watching Trump. Meanwhile a 2019 SCOTUS ruling quietly told politicians they can gerrymander without limit. That's the actual democracy story. by @bledewitz.bsky.social
