So you like gerrymandered districts? What if the shoe is on the other foot? What about the concept of democracy?

Oh well, I forgot who I am talking to.

Happens in every state. They kept the map in Virginia that leans towards Democrats. So for my political leanings I lose virginia and have a easier time winning Wisconsin. So I should have put that virginia kept their map in my original post.

You are missing the big picture. I don't like gerrymandered districts for one simple reason: they undermine democracy. 

But I suppose no one else really cares about this. Country is doomed if we continue on like this. That's all I have to say.

I was just reading that even with gerrymandering it has little significance. So if that's the case as long as people vote technically both parties have a chance. In reality most states you know which way they lean even though the person elected probably doesnt represent the whole state but a small percentage for example the senators of NY do not represent the values of most of NYS but because of NYC the Democrats always win

Gerrymandered districts are democracy.  Redistributing is a political matter - not generally for the courts, who are not elected, not subject to recall and have no defined legal standard to go by.  Was that way when Democrats ruled the roost - so NOW they bitch.

"What about the concept of democracy".....This is comical, coming from a Socialist......I just returned from Europe.......

You know, you left and never responded to a reasonable question I asked you. I have always responded to your questions. But it is what it is. I have a different set of questions for you now. 

What is your definition of socialism? Why is socialism incompatible with democracy? What was your experience like in Europe? Did the socialists there incarcerate you? Were the people in bread lines? Did they seem free?

Sorry I did not respond, but if you go to Europe as I have 4 different times, you can answer  those questions yourself.....You may decide to move.... Margeret  Thatcher once said, "Socialism is great till the money runs out"...and then it steifles innovation and efforts by those who are satisfied with minimums....Every person I spoke to said, "shut your borders" 

Welcome back.

And we are a socialist society right now. We have already run out of money. We are borrowing millions a day just to keep the social programs running.

I want you to answer my questions. I have always answered yours. Anyway, whether you do or not, glad you got back safe and sound. I guess those crazy socialists did not treat you too bad!

But you keep giving stock advice .... OK

Actually, I am not giving advice. I have given the board a free look at my trading activity since January 30, 2018. I have never recommended that anyone do as I have or not do as I have. I started doing this in the beginning to work my way back into trading form as I had taken a 26 month hiatus. I continued to post updates of what I was doing to show those that chose to read my posts that the market can actually be beaten.

I’m actually understanding it the more I read it. 

Thanks DB.
