Senate's 46 Dems Got 20 Million More Votes Than Its 54 Republicans

“Republicans face a daunting map in the Senate, where they'll defend 24 seats in 2016 -- seven in states that Obama won twice. Establishment Republicans see a need for more centrist nominees to defend those states in particular, and yet those centrist incumbents — senators like John McCain of Arizona and Rob Portman of Ohio — already have targets on their backs.”

Sure. I remember the Democrats were going to pull upsets in Georgia, Texas, Kentucky, Arkansas and Kansas and probably a few others I don't remember in 2014. I guess that Gerrymandering of the states cheated them out of certain victory.

That's hilarious!
 
Somebody give him a civics lesson.

The lesson is we are stuck with an archaic undemocratic system.

How is it "archaic?" Does that mere fact that it's been around for 200 years make it bad?

Yes. It's bad. Any system that is contrived to thwart the will of the people is bad.


Horseshit. There's nothing inherently virtuous about democracy. A lynch mob is the essence of democracy. Are you saying you approve of lynch mobs?

Furthermore, you are now making a different argument. Previously you were saying it should be abolished simply because it's old.
 
Two months since the midterms and some have still not recovered from their butthurt.
Aren't you excited? Think about all the good things Republicans are going to do for this country. Like all the good things they have been doing for the last 40 years. Go ahead. Name a few. I like when people get the chance to show off.
 
The State of Wyoming with 500,000 people gets two Senators
The State of California with 40 million people gets two Senators

That is why the Dems get more votes and fewer Senators

We've had enough of politicians doing things for the country. A few more things like Obamacare will sink this country.
 
On Tuesday, 33 US senators elected in November will be sworn in by Vice President Joe Biden — including 12 who are new to the chamber. The class includes 22 Republicans and 11 Democrats, a big reason why the GOP has a 54-46 majority in the Senate overall.

But here's a crazy fact: those 46 Democrats got more votes than the 54 Republicans across the 2010, 2012, and 2014 elections. According to Nathan Nicholson, a researcher at the voting reform advocacy group FairVote, "the 46 Democratic caucus members in the 114th Congress received a total of 67.8 million votes in winning their seats, while the 54 Republican caucus members received 47.1 million votes."

Here's what that looks like in chart form:

Just another reason why 2016 should be great for Democrats!
That's why we have to deport and disassemble the morons.
 
Fuck when did they start gerrymandering states? I live in southern Maine, is there any chance I can get gerrymandered into NH for less tax? Someone please make it happen!

That's what being a Republican is all about; the few rule the many.
 
Here is how disingenuous the left is about gerrymandering. They say that the Republicans changed the discticts to enhance their chance at winning. So when the dems take over they say they are going to redistrict to make it fair so their candidates can win, and they see no problem. Hypocrites and cry babies.
