So one of the things that I want to do now with my podcast going forward is to try to get into the solutions business a bit and as many of you

know I'm I'm obsessed with the fact that the left and the right are not right on anything unilaterally and that whatever works in the

United States only works when you get some sort of buy-in from everybody.

The middle of the conversation, the middle of a political debate.

I know he's at the 50-yard line, sometimes it's at 35, sometimes it's at the 45, but the

middle is where you find a solution to these things.

And one of the solutions that I think we need to be talking about is what's wrong with our electoral lines.

The bottom line is our polarization is due to how we draw the lines and we do not have a very democratic

process to do it.

And so I want to make a case for gerrymandering because right now we have made that a dirty word but at the end of the day

because we sit here and we have decided to live and work with people with

like-minded people we don't want to live next door to somebody we don't agree with politically.

We're self-sorting. We're moving to communities where we feel more comfortable,

culturally things like this. So it makes drawing these political lines sometimes even harder, especially if you're trying to have a functioning democracy.

So what I'd like to see is a basic formula. Let's let the math do the politicking here.

So here's my idea, how we fix drawing all of our election

lines. This is not just for Congress, but for the State House and the State Senate

around the country as well. We use the statewide results over the decade between the two senses.

We do a census every zero year.

2020 is the last census that we did, right?

And then we, 2021, we get the results. And 2021, we decide, all right, here's our population,

here's how many seats in Congress you get, etc.
