You are correct that Democrats are at a disadvantage due to the demographics of this state. But I’ll just toss your logic back at you… if Republicans don’t need to gerrymander Indiana in order to win, why do they work so hard at gerrymandering Indiana? Could it be that they really aren’t sure their ideas are winners? There is no way demographics alone could lead to a 7-2 Republican advantage in the U.S. House, nor the kinds of supermajorities they enjoy at the Statehouse. The fact is, Republicans gerrymander because THEY don’t want to run on policies that are becoming increasingly unpopular and irrelevant, especially to younger voters. They want power, and don’t really care about policies. If we had truly open, fair, unsuppressed elections where majority views really prevailed, Republicans would be worried.
+1.
I mean, look at what they did to Fort Wayne.
“ you can’t count on anger all the time to win an election”
What do you mean – that’s the Republican platform in a nutshell, anger all the time.
It is an interesting observation that Democrats have drifted to the left. I would say if anything they have drifted to right and It is just that Republicans have gone so far right that from that point of view Democrats look like they are at the end of the. earth.
