"With single-member districts, how you draw lines determines winners & losers. The Fair Representation Act from Rep. Don Beyer & Rep. Jamie Raskin makes every district a swing district & ends gerrymandering." – David Daley on how the #FairRepAct ends gerrymandering wars w/ Amanpour and Company

you know what would solve this? Proportional representation with multi-member districts. Much fairer.

Would be nice to have a system where voters choose their representatives rather than the other way around

America, I fixed it for you.

Authoritarians like Viktor Orban understand that in order to entrench power and make elections matter less, they just need to use America's electoral system of single-member districts. Orban would look at Texas and say, what took y'all so long? washingtonpost.com/world/2025/08/…

"Beyond lamenting the bitterness of our politics, policymakers should think about changing the structural incentives that brought Congress to an impasse." – Fred Bauer highlights #ProportionalRepresentation & multi-member districts as solutions to the gerrymandering wars ⬇️

It’s easy to call this hypocritical, but what do you expect? Our system rewards whichever side is the most cynical and selfish. That’s why we need a proportional system. In the meantime, don’t be surprised when people play by rules, as dumb and broken as the rules are.

Taps sign: Massachusetts is not a gerrymander. This is how you, barely, draw an R district. But yes, absolutely -- Rs are underrepresented here. Proportional representation and multi-member districts are the answer. Everywhere. National problem, national solution.

America's winner-take-all districts make voters into resources for the parties to divide. To get a democracy that's of, by, and for the people, we need proportional representation. Dr. Jonathan Hembrough Madison R Street Institute rstreet.org/commentary/pr-…
