If the Democrats have a better argument and more voters then how did they lose so many state legislatures, so many governorships, the Federal Government? What is a better argument to you isn't resonating with the voting public. Y'all have gone too far to the Left. Your November Blue Wave may be a sprinkle at best.

Try to keep up, Van. The democrats get more votes, gerrymandering and the realities of the electoral college result in republicans maintaining power. For the democrats to win a simple majority in the House they need to win the popular vote by 10 points. States have similar discrepancies, in Wisconsin democrats earned 60% of the votes and had 40% of the representation in the state legislature. Republicans know how to play the system, the people don’t buy their arguments.
Then how come when the Dems had power in 2009-2010 they didn't redistrict things in their favor? This is the same type of reasoning that came into play after Trump won. There's always something else to blame for your defeats. Democrats knew going in to the presidential election what the rules were concerning the electoral college. Clinton didn't make a strong enough argument in states where it was assumed she'd win. That's what lost her the election. Note to Democrats: if you want to win in what were once reliably blue states you have to assure people that you understand their problems and will work to fix them. And then make an honest effort once elected to do just that. That's how you win the electoral college.
And P.S. In Wisconsin Democrats have larger numbers but are concentrated in Milwaukee and Madison. Much of the rest of the state is clearly red, no gerrymandering needed. That's why Scott Walker easily won his recall vote.

The point is, more citizens agree with democratic policy positions. As in 70% of citizens don’t believe Roe V Wade should be overturned.

I agree. Outside of Madison and Milwaukee is clueless country bumpkins.

Not sure what kind of parasites you've picked up in whichever third world country you're currently in, but I support your right to grow them however long you wish.
You're too good to me.

You really have no clue. Take the time to look at some of these gerrymandered districts look like in Wisconsin.
