Kaali Kamala: Thee OG YIMBY for Harris 🪷 🇮🇳 🇺🇸 @domitiaenobaria.bsky.social

Why not also Washington, Colorado, New Mexico, and Oregon? Why not New Jersey? And Michigan owes us big for its nonsense last year why not them?

A. Dem trifecta's a prerequisite. That eliminates Mich. B. There need to be R districts to eliminate. NM has none (WA has 2 [of 10], CO has 4 [of 8], NJ has 3 [of 12]). C. NY can't do it in time for the midterms. D. IL *may* provide 1 seat; CO, 2. E. Rs may shave it too close & lose "safe" races

www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?obj... Neither party can gerrymander in Michigan. Our districts are decided by an independent board.

We are not as blue as California. We are purple and Dems don’t control the house/senate here.

Michigan passed an bi-partisan bill to our state constitution to stop gerrymanding back in 2020. By bi-partisan. I mean we the people of Michigan petitioned, got it in the ballot then voted for it. Michigan literally cannot be gerrymandered. Its districts are decided by a neutral board.

So neither party can play its gerrymanding bullshit game here. We are, in fact, morally superior to these antics.
