I just heard that Missouri approved a gerrymandering map. If you are in a Democratic state, it's time to push your Governor to offset it by doing the same.

Ok, MAGA states are cheating in elections. And the solution is: • Blue states should cheat more, or • Kick the MAGA cheaters out of the Union
B. Kick the MAGA cheaters out of the Union
Maybe. I am just not sure that would happen, especially in Texas. It's no-win, no matter how it's played. I just hate that the country is even in this position.
It won’t happen. Unless we take action to make it happen. As long as we capitulate to this regime, we will continue to slide down into the abyss with them. We cannot continue to go along with them.
Blue states need to meet them at the centerline or find out what it’s like to be rushed in front of the goal post.
I don't like any of it, but have not heard any better options. Originally, I thought Republicans, in general, might step up and say a line was crossed, but they didn't. What do you think should happen?
Shit just gets worse and worse here no matter how we vote. And a LOT of rural districts have unopposed GOP dummies getting voted in simply for the R next to their name. It's a shit show. (But it's been pretty shitty for quite some time...)
I definitely agree. Will take many years to repair the damage he has done and will do, and that's before we can even get to all the issues the country had before Trump made it all worse.
But,,,,, the Missouri governor, a former used car salesman, is a dead red Trump Republican. Hell, he’s more than all for this shit..
Yeah, MO’s butt kissing government called talk emergency redistricting meeting and poof! No shits given for the rule of law or constitution anymore. Apparently, the constitution that was so brilliant has a work-around or loophole to everything that MAGA wants to do.
There are literally no national GOP politicians in my state. It's beautiful.
My state is all blue. Gov Lt Gov 3 Fed reps Both Senators
In addition, blue state governors are really stepping up on ensuring COVID vaccines are available for more than worm head dictated.
Are they open to doing anything?
The gov is doing good things though. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
Well, they’ll find a way to shut all that down unless democracy remains in place.
pffft. I think they are finger in the wind pols. But I do think the coming prog wave will bend them some... I sure hope.
I sure hope so. I never in a million years would have thought that Trump would get a second term, and that 90 million people would opt not to vote, given what was at stake.
Same
The Missouri Senate is ruled by right wing make-believe Christians who apparently get a dispensation for lying and cheating to further their cause.
Why what will they do if they win
I'm in Massachusetts. We don't even need gerrymandering to achieve that outcome. Which is funny, because guess who *invented* gerrymandering?
I live in a blue dot in a red state that Trump is slowly pushing to do likewise. 😔
I'm in Florida and they plan to try it too.
Newsom has signed the bill to put the question to the people in a special election in November. Democracy will tell if we are going to fight the Nazis in CA.
I'm glad. Are they going for 5, to offset Texas, or more?
Exactly. Utah already gerrymandered out all Dem CDs. Why the hell is CA only matching TX seats??? Every Blue state should eliminate any red CDs that still exist. This isnt tit for tat. Its the survival of our Democracy.
Agree
I was proud to see protesters fill the capitol building in Missouri to protest gerrymandering.
I am. We are. YES ON 50!
Dems have done this forever. Just admit, Americans have moved on from the looney left. Thus, the ass-kicking in Nov., the number of Republican voter registrations lately vs democrat. Your fascist, legacy news networks that are dying for endless lying. Perhaps in 2032 you might win another election.
Florida's headed that way, too.
I live in a purple state, and our legislators will never let it happen.
Sadly when we fight fire with fire we end up with ashes. Unfortunately it’s the only answer.
Is it?
Alternatives??
Agree. I think all of it is wrong, but what choice is there. If they don't do it, then it's likely that the Republicans would control Congress forever.
