Who's crying, I'm fine being retired at 52.
I know, I know, you were defending our freedom....from goat herders.

So insecure that I'm retired at 52 and you feel the need to make up stories about welfare because of it.

You gotta love what's happening in NY.
So NY made it part of their constitution that the state couldn't gerrymander when it comes time to draw up new districts. This passed in 2014 so this would be the first time the maps are drawn since the change to the constitution. And boy oh boy! Democrats just couldn't wait to do the thing they always complain about: gerrymander the fuck out of NY!
Their map had 22 safe seats for Democrats and just 4 safe seats for Republicans. Yes that's almost 85% of seats would be safe for Democrats, from the party who hates gerrymandering.
Well the courts struck that shit down because...well of course! That's the literal definition of gerrymandering.
Now the courts have released a map that hasn't been finalized yet, but oh boy, is it entertaining to see what's happening already! The new more "fair" map has 15 safe Democrat seats, 5 safe Republican seats, and 6 tossup seats (right now it's 19 Democrats and 7 Republicans.)
Not only are Democrats saying the map is unfair (because they can't clearly cheat anymore), but it is also causing some massive infighting. Already whities are being accused of being racist for announcing they will run against a black man for the same district, the courts are being accused of being racist for merging two Democrat districts so two black members will have to face each other for the same seat, some are crying because more well known and more powerful Democrats are moving into their districts and they don't think they can now win reelection.
The funny thing is they could have avoided all of this and everyone could have kept their seats and nothing would have happened, if they just followed their own constitution. But we all know Democrats love to wipe their asses with constitutions so they'll never learn.
