maybe if he wanted to keep his majority he wouldn't be doing so many unpopular things.

you’re so principled about that you’ll get a single party authoritarian government that caters to wealthy elites. Proud of ya!

Are you a bot? I don’t even understand what you’re talking about. Who do you think I’m being critical of?

Not a bot. I can’t improve your intelligence so that you understand. Your comment was critical of Newsom, mentioning the maintenance of a majority which is not threatened. He’s going to redistrict in order to GAIN seats to thwart GOP corruption. 🔥 with 🔥. Now scoot!

I don’t think you understood, he was being critical of Trump. He’s afraid of losing his majority in Congress…that’s why he’s demanding Tx find him more seats.

My comment was critical of Trump. I agree with what Newsom is doing. I was saying that if Trump wants to win the house in 26 he should do things that are popular instead of resorting to rigging the districts

CA: 38% Republican, only 9 of 52 seats (20.9%) IL: 44% Republican, only 3 of 17 seats (17.6%) NY: 43% Republican, only 7 of 26 seats (26.9%) MD: 34% Republican, only 1 of 8 seats (12.5%) NJ: 46% Republican, only 3 of 12 seats (25%) OR: 41% Republican, only 1 of 6 seats (16.7%) Seems fair

Again, you’re just reading things into stuff I did it right I mentioned how uncomfortable I am with taking away representation from people because other people in another state are taking other people’s representation trying to take away all of our representation This is complicated

In California, we have to take a vote to overthrow the commission we set up which resulted in competitive races Tragedy we can’t have everybody join us and having competition for political office based on ideas not geography

It is a tragedy. But Democrats need to take power in order to do anything and republicans aren’t going to cooperate to change this unless the status quo hurts them too. We’re past the point where idealism is effective.

So you’re fine to let the GOP do it in red states while blue states “play by the rules” and get bent over. I don’t support gerrymandering either. But you can’t play by the rules and expect results when the other side throws the rulebook in the trash.
aug 14, 2025, 5:42 pm • 3 0 • view
Oh please, what do you think Republicans have been doing and are going to do more of in Texas. I agree with redistricting! All the blue states should do it! I’m sick and tired of Republicans crying and whining when it’s being done to them but okay with them doing it!

so Democrats have to play by the rules that no longer exists but Republicans are free to invent dozens of congressional seats ensuring that they will have majorities for the coming decades.
