^^^yes that's the main point of the act. Stolen from a column I posted in SCOTUS thread

Quote :

"The demise of Section 2 of the VRA, which prohibited states from unlawfully splitting members of racial and language minority groups between electoral districts as a way of diluting their voting power, will have a profoundly adverse impact on voting rights and will make American democracy even less representative than it already is. "

Also I'm not sure why cael quoted my post for all that

A lot to unpack here. I guess the 2 things that most caught my eye was dem leaning independents overwhelmingly dissatisfied with dems, and 52% of dems wanting to move to center to win

More wanting to move to center on immigration and lgbtq+, than to the left, gets an honorable mention

I think the argument the lefties would make is we have went to the center and it got us trump, and that all the energy and enthusiasm to show up this cycle is on the left end of the party. Thats fair to an extent. I say give them what they want this cycle. Best case scenario they win, worst case...we don't listen to them in the future

Why is it that if the left loses once and they're done forever, but the center can lose over and over and over?

moving to the center is actually moving to the right

there is no reason to take rights away from people. it’s a total non-starter.
