It is the way it is because there is no effective opposition to it. Instead, we all need to understand just how toxic gerrymandering is and to do that we need to fully understand - good for you, SB, for this. Please do a show on this at least once a month to educate, educate, educate. This is the only way an informed electorate knows and so, will speak out against gerrymandering when they spot it. Yeah, SB!

This show is funded in full or in part by the Israeli Government.

It passed! :)

The joking about Ann Arbor was bassackwards. Ann Arbor is a diverse and liberal bastion in Michigan, not the white conservative place this painted it out to be. She should have stuck with Grand Rapids, Howell, Traverse City, and other actually white Republican Michigan places.

Elisebeth warren is right the problem the porblem is i cant lobby. it would be more important to establish a connection before drawing a map.

It is time for the Republican Party to be declared a conscience and honesty free zone. These maps are an insult to every decent American.

I voted for the "unfucking"

So how did it turn out?

Now Michigan can work on giving Flint clean water!!!

Good Job, Proposition 2 passed, Now she should run for senator

Nice to see Rebecca Black making a political difference in her community. I wondered where she went.

Republicans=BAD Democrats=GOOD White People=BAD (unless they vote Democrat) When democrats lose = GERRYMANDERING

I'm loving seeing the American people take back power in such grass roots ways...

Then bring in proportional voting … if a state has 9 seats then a candidate needs 10% of vote state wide to win.

Gerrymandering is such a disgusting, dishonest, immoral and openly anti-democratic practice, it defies belief that the U.S. tolerates it at all.

Katie Fahey - very marriable.

Yay! Michigan passed the anti-gerrymandering initiative. We passed one in Colorado, too.

Gerrymandering=legalized cheating.

I voted yes and was thrilled by the election results. I feel like we made a real change by just having record breaking turnouts for voting which is so encouraging

"Just smile, Amy. It will be over soon." hahaha

Yes! Let's unf*ck ourselves.

White rapping is an abomination. FWIW, I'm white.

This woman is NOT funny..

the people won, Michigan prop 2 passed

It passed! Well done, Michigan!!!

I'm actually kind of shocked by how RESOUNDING these proposals' successes were -- I was expecting the marijuana proposal to be a done deal, but I thought the other two would entail a much bigger fight. Turns out, the opposite was true.

GUYS IT GOT PASSED

I see these shows and wonder why are people still living in Flint Michigan? I mean get a plane ticket of bus ticked or drive, just leave.

With what money? The can't sell their houses, it's illegal to sell houses with known contaminated water. Flint isn't a high income area.

In Colorado "We the People" are also voting to amended our Constitution with amendments Y & Z to take gerrymandering away from the politicians.

Gotta get the GOP on it's back and beat it like a dog in the streets. Single payer healthcare and free college is how we put an end to that cesspool of a party, for good.

I like animals!

I second your notion for beating helpless animals!

I hope that amendment passes, and I hope the rest of the states follow suit gerrymandering has been extremely detrimental to our democracy, regardless party or lack there of this is something we should all be able to agree on...

"you get to vote" (says the british lady who doesn't

sure 0:12, totally f'd.. if you're leftist lib who hates all Republicans and men in the seats

A. I don't hate all Republicans, just don't want them to run this country. B. What does being Democrat have to do with not wanting men to be elected? C. You know what, it's okay, you don't need to explain your logic to me.

How is this not cheating.

If the left hates borders so much, why do they insist that Israel is occupying Palestine??? One minute they don't want borders, the next they do. One minute they're preaching "love", the next they're spreading Anti Semitic rhetoric. One minute they're Feminists, the next, they're worshiping Eric Schneiderman. Once minute they're Anti Racist, the next they hate white people. Imagine being a liberal? You have to go day to day being told how to think because it's so hard to keep up.

Jeez, America is weird. Like, how do you create a system favoring one side of political spectrum exclusively? I can’t imagine any European country being like that.

Yes, it's sad, but us who have a clue are sticking around to help make it a better place. Trust me, sometimes I feel it's hard not to be embarrassed for this strange, sometimes primitive country.

I’m a Michigan voter and I’m voting yes on Prop 2! Actually going to vote now!!!! ALL MY OTHER MICHIGAN VOTERS GO VOTE YES ON EVERY PROPOSAL!!! And vote blue!!

As a European, I find this jerrymandering thing appalling, and utterly incomprehensible. How can that be constitutionally possible? Greatest democracy in the World? More like a full blown banana republic!

Can't wait to get off of work and vote yes on 2

I voted yes on all three proposals a month ago. Say no to gerrymandering!

Start unf***ing yourselves - today! Get out and vote!!!

Is she trying to behave like desi lydic?

If you end gerrymandering, Then the Republican Party will have to find other ways to cheat the system to win elections

Amy is my favorite british person, ever since she did Almost Royal. Her cuteness is turned up to 11.

The reporter is ridiculously pretty! 😍

we need less people voting.

I hate to say it, and I love the efforts of this woman and others who are working so hard to stop gerrymandering in its tracks, but the history of this country is that as soon as one method of (mostly Black) voter suppression is ended, another one will be instituted. This is how institutional racism works. In the same way that you can't just get rid of some old racists and have America be non-racist (they've been promising that ever since the end of slavery) you can't get rid of one piece of structural racism (e.g., literacy tests, poll taxes) and then be free of structural racism because there are always other racist props ready to spring into action (gerrymandering, voting machines that switch votes from Abrams to Kemp or Beto to Cruz). This is America's foundational history and we can't fool ourselves that it's new with Trump or worse than ever because obviously nothing is worse than slavery and the structural racism that sprang up around it. But it means we do have to look at how these battles need to be fought. Structural racism is the thing that needs to be deconstructed, and that can only happen what Democrats genuinely work diligently to bring Black people of all economic backgrounds to the table. Black people know what the issues are much more intimately than even the most well-intentioned, well-read progessive white folks, and their voices have to be the MAIN voices. I love this video and what this woman and others are doing, but that British woman is right: those are some seriously white spaces that are working to end gerrymandering for mostly Black people. We have to know that formula this has not worked in the past to actually bring down structural racism. Sorry for the long rant. Peace.

progress takes time and effort. I sometimes wish I took more action for the causes I believed in.

It beggers belief that this has even been allowed to happen. But then, 'greatest democracy in the world', don't you know.

Lets call it what it is...corruption. Republicans cheat because they cannot win straight out and have unpopular agendas. They are also morally compromised. If they were not then there would never have been an opportunity for Trump to come in.

Wow. Hopefully 2 passes. For the sake of all Michigans...Michigoneans? Whatever. U get it.

+Carewolf Amerigans

That's the only way RethugliKKKAN dawgs can win...lie, cheat and steal.

When you unfuck yourself are you a "born again vigin"?

ABOLISH GERRYMANDERING AND ABOLISH VOTER SUPPRESSION

Amy is awesome more of her

Thanks for covering this!

I want to see MI turn BLUE again! I miss my home state and want to see it prosper

Moar Amy PLZ !!!

Sounds like Queensland (Australia) in the 70's/80's :/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bjelkemander

You rock Katie! Can't believe how much attention you've drawn!

Woooo Amy 😂😂😂

This needs to be illegal nationally

I love Amy.

Gerrymandering, aka: true voter fraud.

Gerrymandering has been here forever. The difference is it is now done by computer. A much more efficient process than the old manual method. As a result the effects have been multiplied many times over. An odd old system that has made a mockery of out democracy.

hear here and aye aye aye to making voting actually count, holding those corrupt officials responsible just as is in a new bill to be mandated to hold Government Leaders and Corporations responsible

Go Michigan!

Such hypocrites! You complain about racism, then make racist comments about White people. Typical Leftist scumbags.

She's my favorite correspondent. I

loved her in harry potter

Remember you as a tax payer is paying $174,000 per year for your republican senator just so that republican can take your healthcare away from you.

+Erika Black At least you speak correctly

+onlyfacts indeed u are 😈

I is???????

Poppy??! Poppy Carlton?!? 😂😂😂👏👌

You are just now figuring out people don't like you or your political party? I thought you learned that in 2016.

both parties practice gerrymandering which is a horrible practice but lets be clear BOTH MAJOR U.S PARTIES ARE GERRYMANDERING DISTRICTS

But the last party to do it in Michigan was the Republicans. It was called Project Red Map and it was used in so many states.

Both should be stopped but in this case it's Michigan's citizens trying to un-gerrymander themselves, hence the focus on their ballot initiative. The other states should also be doing this for themselves.

What?? Flint was all Democratic. They are responsible.

How can an people suffer disgusting water like that for nearly 6 months and the authorities do nothing about it ??? Making america great again ? The same question , how can people suffer a blatantly broken and corrupt political system ? Sadly the term and destination of " unfucked " looks like a bridge too far .

The Americans who voted differently than the party in power don't suddenly vanish for 2-4 years. They're still your citizens and you need to be accountable to them.

if you like gerrymandering you can thank @jankowskigop, the guy that came up with REDMAP, and convinced the GOP to spend 250 million dollars to gerrymander districts even more after the 2020 census.

All that setup for the last line. Priceless. I almost spit out my Sloppy Joes.

How cheese is made.

@4:03 lol

First off. Her rhymes were really good!

Unfuck the World http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ad4MH7fMLs

Wait, is the atrocities of the Flint water crisis still a thing? I - around the world - have not heard much about that issue for the past 2 years.

+MsZephyra Wow, that is just f'upped and incompetent of those responsible.

Yes. It's still very much a thing.

Gerrymandering is a perfect exemple of tje senate system where you give less populated states more importance than thos with more urban and cities

I'm excited to vote yes on all of these proposals tomorrow in Michigan!

Any such a bae.

Why you guys don't just have an independent organisation to run your elections and draw district lines I have no idea. Worried about corruption? Make all of the processes they use transparent and have processes to challenge their decisions. For example look at the Australian Electoral Commission - despite plenty of corruption in our government no evidence of gerrymandering - sane districts with no crazy shapes.

Don’t care about politics....but if I see hers I clicks

So ridiculous, we need to change how voting works. One vote for each citizen and the candidate that gets the most votes wins. Easy peasy, simply and not sleezy. Lol

Is that Hermione?

Thanks Sam! That's my district - Michigan 14 (The Fighting Fourteenth).

As long as the dems if they are able to take over follow through. I will be watching. Let's hope we cam fix our problems.
