I’m not sure it’s possible to overstate the disgust many North Carolinians are developing with Thom Tillis. He’s proven to be the ultimate hypocritical politician. His votes for Hegseth & Gabbard far outweigh his “virtuous” floor speeches in support of Ukraine. A lot of us will be working overtime to rid our state of this parasite, even if the extreme gerrymandering gets in the way.
Gerrymandering kills an opposition party in a state. In North Carolina you basically have had a 50-50 state for several cycles but the State has a veto proof majority in its Legislature and sends 10 Republican Congress members to D.C. and only 4 Democrats. There is a major voter suppression head wind for the opposition party in these states...why bother with the "fake" democracy? Go spend your time and money on fantasy football

Gerrymandered districts don’t matter in a US Senate race, which is a statewide vote.
Oh my bad. I’m completely aware of that. I just got carried away. The gerrymandering is a significant problem here.
I figured. Sadly, it is in my nature to provide information no one asked for. 🤪
Me too…
