Trump Loses the Gerrymander War

I think I think we should get rid of the filibuster.

Pod Save America
Trump Loses the Gerrymander War

Everyone's like, oh, well, now the Republicans, would you be pissed if the filibuster wasn't there?

Pod Save America
Trump Loses the Gerrymander War

Yeah, I would be annoyed that they maybe could pass a few more things.

Pod Save America
Trump Loses the Gerrymander War

But like, I believe the filibuster is bad.

Pod Save America

And so I believe that it is bad no matter what.

Pod Save America

Like, I just think that maybe Republicans could be consistent for once on the reforms they support and when they support them.

Right.

And if it passed by 30 points, isn't it like a D plus 20 state usually?

Pod Save America

Yeah.

And I don't know how the vote broke down in any of the individual districts.

Pod Save America
Trump Loses the Gerrymander War

But I also think it is very understandable if you're an independent or if you're a Republican and you're deciding whether to come out and vote or not or vote.

Pod Save America
Trump Loses the Gerrymander War

Like if you're in a district that's going to get gerrymandered and so you no longer really have a have a say and you're a member of Congress or you're not going to ever get a Republican.

Pod Save America

I can see why you vote against it.

Pod Save America
Trump Loses the Gerrymander War

Yeah.
