Yes. US midterms are state elections. That is why #Republicans are #redistricting in #Texas and other #Confederate States without voter approval.

This reckless "voter selecting" was caused by the #SCOTUS in 5/4 decisions made by #Roberts.

In fact, every major decision changing elections by undermining the #vote in the last 25 years has been by Roberts on the SCOTUS.

Between him and Trump, these two men have actively worked to undermine #Democracy causing more partisanship.

No, that's not historically accurate.

Districting has always been up to the states, the state legislatures in particular. It wasn't some reckless decision of the Supreme Court, it's just how the United States is set up from the beginning.

And really it's up to Congress to change if they want to, but that comes down to the people that we elect to Congress. We have all of these congresspeople yelling about it when really it's up to them to change it if they want to. If they're not changing it and we want them to change it then we need to stop reelecting the same people who don't change it.

We keep reelecting the congresspeople that enable this. Stop reelecting the congresspeople that enable this.

Don't let them point fingers at the Supreme Court to escape accountability.
