Gerrymandering and in fact any tampering is most effective when turnout is low.

If turnout is unusually high it actually can backfire turning very red counties into blue (they gerrymander by spreading people in heavily red counties to neighboring blue ones just enough to turn then red, so the margins are much smaller)

The chief is definitively smoking something.

What about other genocides happening right now? Why does no one care about them?

Yes, this one is special, but it is special, because here both sides want to wipe each other out. Israel just has an advantage right now, but in 1947 was the reverse.

Many universities promised that, yet the protests didn't stop.

Why not setup a protest in your home? It will equally bring awareness to the issue.

During his presidency I hoped she was different, but Melanoma is no better than him.

And it isn't just Israel, also Poland and Hungary at least.

I'm assuming you are from California. The map is from 2019. Currently California's minimum is $16 and fast food workers now have a minimum of $20, so almost double of that.

California since then increased minimum wage to $16 and fast food workers have a special minimum wage of $20.

You gave current big Mac prices yet wages from 2019. For example California now has $16 minimum wage and special $20 minimum wage for fast food workers.
