But they've got to stop being on defense. Stop reacting. Are there no forward thinkers, to beat them at their game sometimes? We desperately need a big win, to keep hope alive. This "on the edge of your seat" everyday, to see what's going to happen, is for soap operas not government.

While I absolutely HATE gerrymandering (which leads to polarization in BOTH parties and underrepresents moderates); I think right now it’s the only chance to fight back against GOP authoritarianism. I say this knowing there is not a way to unwind it short (unlikely) of constitutional amendments.
aug 3, 2025, 1:23 pm • 2 0 • view
Sadly, I agree. Once we get these anti-democracy Republicans out, then we can pass legislation to forbid gerrymandering and have a process for redistricting that is fair. Anything else (what we’re seeing from Republicans right now) should be illegal. The fact that it isn’t illegal is the problem.
