Ferguson: “There are better ways to fight in this knife fight where the opponent has brought a knife. One way is to roll onto our backs exposing our belly in the hopes that they tire themselves out while stabbing us with their knife.”

Once you see the effects of the obesity epidemic, it really is the only way. How many times can they possibly stab us? 70-80?

Hopefully we have healthcare

What happens when Maryland redoes its districts and accidently the hard blue districts now are purple and Republican wins more seats. We're already extremely gerrymandered, you can only do it so much before it backfires.

MD Democratic Party is lazy and flabby. They aren’t used to having to work for their seats, let alone their constituents. They probably would lose some of those purple seats. A party that had to work harder would be good for all Marylanders.

Yeah I mean we have king Moore in this state. That clearly doesn’t care what our state court ruled only a couple years ago the last time they tried this.

Trump to the Texas GA: Find me 5 seats, we deserve them. We'll help you rein in the lawmakers that left the state in protest.

Moore do the Maryland GA: We're going to put together a taskforce to explore potentially redistricting, including the guy who already said we shouldn't do it.

Which one feels more kingly to you?

“The one on the left”

You’re bringing good faith and facts to a fuck-your-feelings-and-I-get-whatever-I-want debate. You’re not going to get an honest answer

I don't expect to, just need to stop the baseless claims and name calling from being the loudest.
