I’m not asking them to stop it. That’s why I said it’s happening. Read better. Stop making excuses for them. they’re going to run all these stupid ballots, wasting time instead of redistricting their own states. That’s what needs to happen RIGHT NOW. Before Texas even has a chance.
No. Redistricting to keep the orange turd in power while he destroys US trade, alliances, and DOJ\FBI independence, needs to be reciprocation. The GOP has to go first because this could be the beginning of when US parties choose their electors just before elections, rather than the other way around
what you’re now seeing is Democrats are going to put their redistricting measures on the ballot for 2026. Do you not understand that’s going to be too late? Texas is already doing it. So standing here with our thumbs up our butts waiting for them to shoot us in the face first is not a good strategy
No. Newsom is already making plans to redistrict. He's not going to wait till 2026. He doesn't want to redistrict but he will as soon at Texas has actually done it.
Other states need to start stepping up. Potentially Arizona, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. All states with strong Democratic population. We need to worry about “right and wrong“ tomorrow and worry about winning today
But now other Republican states are lining up as well. New York’s governor, again, is putting it on the 2026 ballot so far… it’s not going to be good enough. Whatever seats we can gain in California will be outweighed by Texas, Florida, Ohio, Missouri, and Indiana…
Governor Kathy Hochul: "I'm exploring with our leaders every option to redraw our State congressional lines as soon as possible.” She's not putting it on the 2026 ballot
My home state of Arizona has a Democratic governor and two Democratic senators. With Democratic voting potential like that, at least 1 to 2 house seats could be flipped. But Katie Hobbs is one of the most non-confrontational politicians I’ve ever seen…
But again, there’s a plethora of other states that can. I’m not really counting on New York. Other governors need to step up. It can’t just be Newsome and Hochul. Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania said he’s not going to do anything… that’s not good.
Right now, she would have to disband the regulation committee that controls redistricting. Which is an option and she needs to execute on that. That however, would require an amendment to the state Constitution. From a legal perspective she really won’t even have a chance to redistrict until 2027.
Again, Texas is doing it. The Dems that walked out are just delaying the inevitable. And yes, Gavin Newsom is the only damn one that seems to have a sense of urgency about this. He’s already my pick for the next presidential candidate. Because at least he has some goddamn balls.
Again, Texas hasn't done it yet because the Democrats have left the state. When they eventually have to return and Texas maps are redrawn, Dem states will immediately reciprocate. They won't wait for a 2026 mandate
