Yeah if the dems sat down and worked out the math and figured out they could out gerrymander Republicans they would be idiots not to do it. Republicans control more states but I think dems control more of the population? But with the cap of house seats population is way less of a factor.
You can lift the cap with a simple 50-50 vote. Should have done that and made CA like 600-0 in dem house seats lol.
Itâs all a lot easier to process when you realize that the boomer assholes in charge absolutely do not want the outcomes we do. I fought that realization for like 15 years, but it can no longer be denied.
Legal weed and student loan forgiveness are the biggest layups ever, theyâre going to do neither. They had to be shamed into banning evictions during a fucking pandemic. The only way forward is for millennials to take over the party, and that assumes we still have a functioning democracy.
I know. Iâm saying weed is a lay up, forgiving student debt really isnt. People who would benefit arent consistent voters, ones who are are solidly dem, and a lot of the rest will be pretty resentful
Well unless itâs an independent commission that means sheâs out with the map, because they arenât so dumb to redistrict one of themselves out.
editâitâs independent but looking at the rewritten district (which is #2)âsheâd lose by double digits
this isnât gonna be the only map theyâll start out with tho, so tbd on what gets used, on the plus side, unlike other states it looks reasonable instead of super ridiculous.
heâd get all the $ nationally, if this is the mapâhope heâs smart enough to throw a bone to whoeverâs at 7 or 8 though, those are far more interesting/valuable.
At this point my meager hopes are starting to rise based solely on the fact that thousands of republicans are apparently choosing to die of covid to own the libs. At some point that has to impact midterm races right?
I mean realistically thats probably 20k max dead voting republicans which isnât much but I mean some of the huge amount of people that got covid and survived must have been like âhey this isnât a hoax maybe Iâve been lied toâ. Right? Right Anakin?
At most, the covid dead might cancel out the effects of voting rights being stripped in away in several key states, but probably not even that. Although if Florida keeps Floridinâ then who knows.
