Funny... the right is the side constantly trying to suppress votes and redistrict in their favor, literally attempting to change the definition of "equal".

I'm pretty confident that all politicians on both sides of the aisle push for redistricting for their platforms so... yeah.
...Do you righties realize Tiger Woods wouldn't be allowed on the golf course at all before the 70s had it not been for equality? This tweet is literally the point all of us are making.
Let’s forget natural differences in ability and look at only opportunities. The first time I picked up a golf club (mini golf) I was 17 years old. Had I wanted to play my parents didn’t have the means or the money to do so. If I had been good, they wouldn’t have been able to afford touring and competing. Tiger Woods father was a skilled golfer. He started his son golfing at 2 years old. He had access to golf courses for tiger to practice on. Tiger was touring in competitions before 10 years old. So me- like most of you- probably didn’t have the opportunity to practice our entire life st golf. We didn’t have the opportunity to have a free skilled golf coach. So- if I play golf against Tiger Woods how is that equal opportunity?
Phrased another way: What if the Olympic s rules said People who’s parents names started with the letter A-N when they were born are only allowed to train 1/8 the time as people who’s parents names start with M-Z when they were born? Would you say that was an equal opportunity competition? So yes. Equal opportunity doesn’t mean equal results- but we must be mindful that it isn’t just the thing at hand which influences equal competition. There are external factors such as who has been given an advantage that others did not have the same opportunity to have. This is at the heart of true sportsmanship in life. Like why am adult fighting a child is wrong. The child doesn’t have the same opportunity for physical or mental advantages an adult has in a fight- or why it is classically frowned upon to bring a baseball bat into the boxing ring- or why there are divisions and weight classes. Even golf has a handicap for his exact purpose.
Funny how left always seems to come up with a few extra votes when needed. See Al Franken's first "win" in 2008 by 312 votes. Strange how boxes of ballots, mostly for Franken, were "found" in a car trunk. Or Philadelphia voter intimidation by Black Panthers in 2008. Nope, nothing to see here. Case dismissed by Obama Dept of Justice. And gerrymandering happens on both sides and has a long history in this country. It's not some new invention.
Dude, go away.
I'll be around, try again... or just... preferably, go away.
