Unlike Dems' Illinois gerrymander, which was thrown together pretty sloppily at the last minute, I can only find a few isolated places where this NY gerrymander "strands" Dem votes in GOP districts - and even then, we're talking fractions of points.

It's a brutal map for Rs.

1. K&R

NY could save the House for us.

13. There's a Hopeful Thought!

[Dorian Gray]

17. Maybe

but the redistricting means that Maliotakis may be my new representative (park Slope) and I'm really wondering how that is going to work! It feels insane!

[brooklynite]

18. You miss the point...NY-11 is now heavily Democratic (Biden +11)

[Dorian Gray]

19. I did see that point

But we'd have a whole other year with her as our Rep, right? I'm really curious if she'd be changing her tune. (I know ultimately it will lead to someone new. People saying max rose, but I don't know how well he'd play to Park Slope and Gowanus.)

21. It's going to be an interesting primary, though.

2. yaaayyyy gerrymandering!!!!!!!

At least until the GOP'ers do it.

[W_HAMILTON]

7. No, more like "yaaayyyy, we're finally fighting fire with fire!!!!!!!"

If Republicans want to abolish gerrymandering at the federal level, there are more than enough Democrats willing to join them in doing so; until then, fuck Republicans. Blue states should use everything in their power to fight back against the anti-democratic ways of the Republican Party.

14. +Millions!

9. Not Really Much Of An Argument, Sir

You don't refrain from attacking round a flank because the other guy might do the same....

[11 Bravo]

10. So you're a fan of unilateral disarmament?

Sorry, but fuck that noise.

[ibegurpard]

15. When every single state has a nonpartisan commission

That takes boundary-drawing out of the hands of the politicians then I will cheer. Until then fuck these Republicans wherever we can.

[kcr]

22. Sure

Go ahead and talk to the GOP and tell them how naughty they are. I'm sure they'll listen to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pwb]

3. Good.

We are dark blue. Yep.

[mucifer]

4. It's happening in Illinois, too

[Blue Owl]

5. Break out the barbed wire dildo

And start twisting

[11 Bravo]

6. I hope no lube was involved.

I'm fucking sick of self-righteous pleas for us to unilaterally disarm in the hope that Repukes will stop gerrymandering every district in which they have the ability to do so.

[GoodRaisin]

8. Good. nt

[Cha]

11. Gops Beg for it.. Rt TY!

[Red Mountain]

12. Great place to start a discussion about voting rights

Not to trade advantages in the hope of retaining them but to make sure every vote counts.

[Red Mountain]

16. and until every vote DOES count

fight fire with fire.

20. Sometimes that's what you have to do.
