Californians fleeing their state have made states like Colorado and Oregon slightly Blue. Very annoying.

I don't think "gerrymandering" means what you think it means.

Most Republicans would agree that there are no undesirable effects due to gerrymandering. That's why Republican state legislators are against the petition in Oklahoma that would try to get rid of gerrymandering by setting up an independent process.

So? People can move anywhere they want to. It must be tiring to view nearly everything through the lens of partisan politics. What are you gonna do about it?

I personally think it's adorable that you spelled gerrymandering despite not knowing what it means.

Oregon? Slightly blue???? You're a bit behind the times. (Also, so sorry you're annoyed.)

The last US R senator, Gordon Smith, left office in 2009. The last R governor was Vic Atiyeh, who left office in 1987. Four out of Oregon's five US Representatives are Ds, and that's been the case since 1999. The last time Oregon voted for an R presidential candidate was 1984.

I hereby pronounce you a member of the doesn't-know-what-s/he's-talking-about club.

No, what I’m tired of are people who flee an area and then work to make their new home just like the home they fled from

I think most of the people fleeing California are not Dems/Libs.

Shoot, for a Liberal, California must be like being a pig in mud.
