Trump doing much better tonight (so far)
Joe Biden has received the endorsement of the leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP).

Hey ex-GOP Congressional Intern,
The only reason that Republicans have any meaningful control of the federal government at all is their dominance of the anti-majoritarian levers of power and gerrymandering. It will be a great day for the Republic when that stuff goes by the wayside and Republicans must entirely reform their federal platform as it is unpopular with most Americans.

Yep, that's one.

This is some weapons grade "both sides" horsesh!t.
Hillary Clinton conceded the day after the 2016 election. Obama hosted trump at the White House 2 days after the election. Biden hosted Pence the day after that.
Al Gore pursued his legal challenges, lost, and gave a public concession speech in prime time. Then he went back to work and certified the election results in his capacity as VP.
And they both got MORE VOTES than the winner. Still, they respected the will of the people and our system, and they both attended the inauguration to demonstrate a peaceful transition of power.
But, please, go on about how we are the "sore losers".

This both sides argument is like someone saying “you flicked my forehead”, then pushing the person who flicked your forehead off a cliff and saying “it’s not wrong cause he flicked me. Both sides do it!”

Hi D1, how would you end gerrymandering? There are several different ways to draw congressional districts (all better than our current system) but I always like to see how others are thinking about this.
