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.

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.

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
