The above link gives a nice explanation of how a concept you Americans call vote packing.

Both Australia and the United States were founded by statesmen who's wealth derived from farming and mining. Thus gerrymandering allowed landowners to have a substantial bias in voting power when voting districts were zoned.

This gives the illusion of democracy but in reality is more like a proxy for the British parliament where the House of Lords (equivalent of the senate or upper house in Australia and congress senate in the US) where the landed gentry held sway over voting.

There's a huge difference between unintended casualties, and purposely killing civilians and wounded when fighting armed combatants. Few American Presidents could be accused of murder with intent.


They aren't unintended. EVERY single one is guilty of mass murder and war crimes. The drone campaign is international terrorism, mass murder and kills innocent civilians and the targets have no trial. If you support that then you must support the death penalty without trial. And no, it's not 'derp derp terrorist'. That's Trump and Obama guilty of that. Bush was a torturer and mass murderer. Clinton bombed pharmaceutical facilities. I could go back and back but I'm not interested in hearing sickening excuses for murder.


I'll give you Bush, but to say that most of the drone strikes purposely killed civilians simply isn't true. If you argued that they were irresponsible with the lives of civilians, you'd have more ground to stand on.
And yes, there were terrorists who had blood on their hands who were put out of our misery. As taking said terrorists into custody would have been impossible, letting them walk free would possibly have meant more innocent death. So derpy-derp-derp!


Yeah, utterly disgusting that you can't admit to crimes committed by the party you associate with. I don't need you to give me anything, you aren't entitled to your own facts. The truth is not on your side.
See you have no idea what you are talking about and it's pretty terrible. Being a SUSPECT means you are not a criminal let alone a terrorist. The terrorist is Obama and the US. The judge in the sky that hovers on top of someone SUSPECTED of possibly thinking about one day maybe doing something against America and blows them away and anyone else who happens to be the wedding or barbecue.

No it’s to make sure that people in rular area votes matter just as much as people in urban areas


When the constitution was written, most Americans were rural or lived in small towns, so there was no concept yet of most votes going to cities.
