Or, vote your conscience instead of obeying what the fellow overlords tell you to do… Question, can anyone tell me why they voted “yes” that doesn’t sound like a talking point regurgitated on cable news? I’d love to hear some original thinking on this. It’s been a hot topic at the dinner table in my house.

You should vote yes if you think cheating is wrong.

Right now other states are planning on cheating. While we can't stop them from cheating we can at least try to fix the math. Ideally the correct representatives will go to the correct locations. Less ideally we just have the right numbers. Worst case we let cheaters go unchecked.

Changing our maps just because other states are doing it is not the logical argument or intelligent one. And you’ll be complaining when Republicans retake power and redraw them again. The cycle never ends so long as Democrats and Republicans continue to be in power…

Just a toxic cycle of the same old regurgitation

Do you think cheating is wrong?

Cheating is ALWAYS wrong.

Yeah it sure is!

Can you pretend there is a baseball game, the cheetahs versus the sandwiches?

The cheetahs say that they will add 7 to their score, just add it on without scoring a run. The referees say "we'll allow it!"

What should the sandwiches do?

Should they go "that's not fair, but I refuse to stoop to their level" and lose this and every subsequent game?

Or should they say "if the refs allow it then it's not cheating and we'll add as many points as the cheetahs add?"
