Over three-fourths of Americans think there should be a maximum age limit for elected officials, according to a CBS News/YouGov survey.

      I think no gerrymandering would absolutely nuke the red presence. Honestly looking at how bad the district maps are it’s insane it’s even gotten that far.

      Term limits, no gerrymandering, ranked choice voting, and more than two political parties.

      We already have more than two parties, its just almost nobody votes for them. With rank choice voting they’ll be more visible than they are today.

        Everything is hard if you’re trying to do it right, especially large scale. Babies with crayons draw better maps than what happened/is happening in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, etc.

          Oh yeah no there does absolutely need to be a criminal threshold and Ohio and Florida are past it. At the bare minimum it needs to cost you your seat if you pull the shit ohio keeps pulling.

          As an Ohioan at no point has my vote for representatives ever mattered even when it should. It’s not like nyc or something, fucking Cincinnati shouldn’t be 3 red seats.
