They gerrymandered because they couldn’t win on their policies.
They gerrymandered because they couldn’t win on their policies.
And they know the country is waking up
Who's to say that by the time it comes to vote, that anyone is going to want to vote for their s*** policies and fascist minions?
100%. They commit election fraud because there’s no other way they could cram that Project 2025 shit down our throats.
They cheat because they cant win. Thats why they act like this. Its obvious theyve never won at anything hence the overreaction exhuberance. Im embarrassed for these losers.
They always cheat.
That's probably how Ted Cruise keeps winning.
Same thing Koch Brothers did, when they couldn’t win with their ideas, the just resorted to literally buying politicians. They always touted that in the marketplace of ideas they would win. But they didn’t.
That's also why they invested so much in propaganda.
Because they have no policies.
they just want to make sure trump doesn't get impeached again.
Policies and performance.
That assumes that they actually have policies. Please note, two of the biggest financial collapses in US history were republicans. They couldn’t pass an infrastructure bill after a decade. 25 years and no immigration reform. They killed a million people denying Covid. Now, they bow to a pedophile.
Thank you, Jess. This part gets so lost. Why do they want to take away women’s vote? Can’t compete.
Its a fact or what policies they have passed !
And that is an attack on American democracy and very unpatriotic. Those who have been doing such should be ashamed of themselves. That is treason against the people in my eye. bsky.app/profile/vlf7...
Sadly, I believe they’re going to cheat to win midterms. They’ve got the cheating to win down now after the last election.
They can't win on their policies because their policies, such as they are, are all predicated on an outcome. What outcome? Whatever the highest bidder says it should be. This was always a bit of a thing, definitely a bit of a bipartisan thing. Now it's ALL of the thing, the only thing
They recognize that the greater the turnout, the more losses for them. That's why young people need to be involved. We grannies are holding the line.
Truth!
Which is why we don’t have to do so in response open.substack.com/pub/noelkeit...
What policies?
Policies!? You mean total lack of policies; just ONE BIG UGLY BILL to punch the lower classes and middle classes lower and lower financially and morale🥶and the wealthy higher & higher!
Orange Menace cheats on principle…what’s for him a principle
U know it. Stop gerrymandering and put Ken Paxton on trial already.
and apparently couldn't hack enough voting machines
They created Fox News for the same reason.
🎯 💯 💥T🔨
They cheat and lie cuz they believe their superiority supersedes law and order. They can't prove it but they want it anyway. Subjective faith over objective reality. The truth won't set them free, so they lie and cheat instead. Their god will forgive them.
What I'm hoping is that their gerrymandering will be to no avail, and voters, even in "safe" red states will vote blue next year.
Why not just adjust the policies?
They know once people start to feel the impacts, the GOP is done. I’m especially pissed about Kegseth’s repost of women losing voting rights. I’ve heard OVER & OVER, there’s NO way they would do this. Yet, here we are. PROJECT 2025 WAS REAL!!! 😡🤬😡
As always... Look at Wisconsin. It's taken 15 years for them to get out, even a little bit, from the gerrymandering of the GOP.
Republicans only policy—- Blame the Democrats! Like that’s going to work!
What policies? They only have "concepts" of policies and those are cruel and disastrous not only to Americans, but all the good people of the world.
Bitches CHEAT when BITCHES can’t win and it’s TO FUQQING BAD(sorry, Jess) that people with SPINES don’t show TF up to politically BEAT THE EVER LOVING 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 out of them
Same reason they lie constantly. Same reason they gin up BS culture war issues. They have nothing to offer the ordinary working person.
They always f-ing cheat and lie
Exactly!
Of course, it made cheating seem kinda fair
Sounds like the pots mad at the kettle 🤣
They have always been cheats
It's true, none of them would be re-employed, as a 2 years public vote contracted, tax paid public servant.
What policies?
Ergo, we can’t win on our policies, either.
With that being said, we know they didn’t win in 2024 either so ask yourself on the next election is it safe using the voting machines and processes the procedures that they put into place.
Or by cheating.
When you have to cheat to win, you’re nothing but a loser
Say it over and over again and again. They can only win when they cheat.
They gerrymandered because they think their ideas, values and well-being are should come before those of others who disagree with them.
Can't win if they don't cheat!
🎯
Kehoe will wait to see how successful TX is, before he greenlights redistricting in MO. Seems like TX is always the litmus test.
There's something fundamentally wrong when the politicians pick their constituents rather than the constituents picking their representatives. So wrong, I think it calls for the pillory and guillotine. What was good enough for Louis XVI is good enough for Abbot I say.
Listen to what he thinks : youtube.com/shorts/KEh8T...
Republicans will never win on their policies so they will continue to cheat.
Because what taco has been doing is galvanizing people across the nation to vote blue
They only have a concept of policies.🫤🥸🐾
They couldn't win on policies, because theirs all suck. The only policy they adhere to: win without governing. Put on a show, while you're distracted, they're picking your pockets. Thieves and pedophiles.
When did they announce they had policies? I thought the demented lunatic woke up in the morning and whatever nightmares he had that night, was the policy for the day!
#Repubs2Weak2Compete
They can’t win on policy or platform so they have to cheat!
The political parties are substantially responsible for the mess we have today. Safe seats, corporate donations, legislative bodies full of extreme left liberals and white nationalist conservatives, nothing gets done, can’t compromise, do what big donations request.
"both sides"? bullshit
Democrats should go ahead and get it done. Don't wait. They already have the receipts to prove who did what. Fight now, stop waiting around.
Truth!
Yup, the party of cheaters.
Or by The Rules!!!!
💯! Struggle knowing they've done this for a very long time & we still have no laws against it? We still haven't fixed SSI/SSID, healthcare 71mm have none, not only lost Medicaid they never had either? Or immigration path to citizenship since Clinton made Reagan's policy stricter? How we got MAGA!
They never could have won on their policies, not since Trickle Down Economics.
The media for years has pushed the BS propaganda that Republicans are good for business, good for the economy, tough on crime. None if it is true. They crush small businesses, they crash the economy, they elect criminal sex offenders.
they don’t have policies or ideology, they have cult compliance
This👇
They also gerrymander because there is never a repercussion.
And they don't have Elon to "fix" things.
Especially since they had to gerrymander what they already gerrymandered That is what is hysterical.
When your policies are crap, simply redraw the map!
For decades and decades yes they have been doing this..with little opposition..
Agree. But what policies? They have no policies unless ICE Gestapo is a policy. Or supporting an authoritarian wannabe, who has dementia, heart, and incontinent problems. Or crapping on our constitution are policies.
It's kind of embarrassing if they clearly stated that the only policy they have is "give DonOLD everything he wants."
bsky.app/profile/adam...
And because incumbents don't like to compete
bsky.app/profile/real...
Correct !! 😡 Sad isn't it ??
They lied about policies because they couldn’t win on their policies
You mean making the rich richer and everyone else poorer, opening concentration camps and covering up the President's role in the largest sex trafficking ring in history doesn't have broad public support?
They feel that they need to gerrymander now because everyone has become aware that Trump was raping children with Jeffery Epstein for decades.
bsky.app/profile/blue...
is illinois also gerrymandered cause dems couldn't win the suburban counties?
What policies?
Actually they gerrymandered because they could. They started back in 2010 and it took us years to wise up. By then they had a good lead. It wasn’t just to win elections, it was to stack statehouses. They wanted an iron grip on lawmaking in the states.
precisely
the fact people still vote for that party, knowing everything they do about it, is what I find most astounding
oh heck yeah
And never will
Their policies only represent up to 10% of the population - the very rich - so they can’t win by a fair vote.
lie cheat steal repeat
Their only policies are lie, cheat and steal. Oh, and enrich themselves at the expense of the country and their own voters. 😡
As always.
100 % ! ✅
And they know their Lord and Savior is impeached if Democrats take the House and Senate.
Texan secular activist here. It’s fucked UP!
I wish our elections were like student body elections in grammar school. One vote equals one vote. I understand why it was necessary in the early years of our country, but now it is an easily rig-gable system where the bad guys make the rules. 🙄
They know they can’t win so they continue to cheat!
Yes. That IS the purpose of political gerrymandering. Fighting fire with fire sounds great until you realize you're trying to save a house.
If they could win without gerrymandering they wouldn't need to.
We need to start playing their games.
Yep
Historically, they were always losers and will always be losers no matter how much they lie, cheat, and steal to win.
They never had any...just concepts
Asides from tax cuts for the rich and powerful, and corporations, do they even have any policies ? Instead of putting some effort into making life better for Americans, they cheat. Lazy cowards.
Totally!
It's more like they don't want to have to try to win over voters and represent them
Cheating is second nature for them.
Republicans hate Democracy and don't respect the peoples vote, so they cheat, they want power at any cost, even if it means Dictatorship. How do you coexist with Fascists?
Instead of taking their bail and going home to self reflect, they changed the rules so someone else could never win. Especially when those someone elses are still playing by the old rule book.
💯Because their policies are shit and hurt most people!
Because their policies are un-American and anti-democratic! Imagine actively fighting against healthcare for all....
Truth!
Yup.
They always cheat because they can and get away with it. They don't care because people will vote for them anyway. I really don't get it. Why would you vote against your best interests?
🎯
EVIL They lie because they can't win on their policies. They gerrymandered because they can't win on their policies. They stacked the Supreme Court because they can't win on their policies. They collected dirt on GOP members to keep them in line because they can't win on their policies.
I think it’s simpler than that. They gerrymander because they can (and no one stops them) and they always have.
Everyone focused on term limits when we have elections for that. They ignored gerrymandering while Republicans took over state after state then locked in their voters. Now we've got term limits but with elections that simply put a new name & face on the same ideology.
…the sports equivalent of changing the rules and refs mid-game because you know you suck and you’ll never be as good as your opponent.
...Them damn cowardly, no-good, boot-licking, yellow-bellied, greedy, minority-hating, snake-slimy, power-grabbing, antidemocratic, gun-lovin', power-drunk, pathologically self-centered Missouri Republicans!
They Hate Democracy.
And will never admit it.
Gee I wonder why?..
Apartheid America
👍👊👏❤️💙🇺🇸💯🎯
Nor personalities and looks. They are the rotten meat at the back of the butcher's freezer, and want us to love them. But for what? Destroying America?
They don't actually have any policies. They just want to insult "the Left" based on their fantasies.
That has always been true.
The privileged teach their CHILDREN TO CHEAT, too.
Yeah they know they can't stay in power unless they have their thumbs on the scales
They didn’t have any policies to run on so wrapped themselves in the flag and promoted themselves as the true patriots. Voters believed them and voted accordingly.
They already won by suppressing the vote and the fact that even that won’t work next time tells you how unpopular their policies are.
But also they won by Gerrymandering. bsky.app/profile/jonc...
I would say at least 2 illegitimately gerrymandered fascist shit heads in Wisconsin
They aren't interested. The Trump regime plans on trying to hold on to the presidency in the next election.
Say this over and over again Until they can hear the truth How did we get here This is among the reasons why Racism is another
They can't even discuss politics they are so racist & backward
From "Primary Colors," in 1994: ""[B]ecause our ideas are better."
Well, their policies actually benefit like a few thousand very rich people and make everyone else worse off so...
Also worth noting that "checks and balances" are not worth a bucket of warm spit. We need an opposition party and a new Constitution (one that focuses on democracy,not rule by the elite.)
They sure did bsky.app/profile/madd...
I wish that mattered to their voters. By now, no American should be voting for any GOP.
