So gerrymandering is wrong or it’s ok. I’m confused. California - “Texas is a threat to democracy so we’re going to be a bigger threat to democracy”

Oh please enough with this tired argument. Shooting someone is wrong. But if someone is firing at you, do you return fire with the gun you are holding, or do you lay down your weapon and take the bullets because ‘shooting someone is wrong’?

I’ve never said that redistricting is wrong. I’m against it but it is perfectly legal. The Dems said it’s wrong and now they say it’s cool. That’s called hypocrisy.

Nonsense. We don’t think it’s ‘cool’. We think it’s *necessary*. Don’t conflate the two. It’s necessary in the face of political warfare waged by the GOP in its blatant, unethical pursuit of political power. We don’t want to do this. We have to do this. Leave room in your thinking for such nuances.

You act as if the 2025 Texas legislature is the first to do this. It has existed since 1812. So maybe try more “nuance” than “political warfare!” “Blatant unethical pursuit of political power” again Libs are impervious to recognizing their own hypocrisy.

You’re either dense or disingenuous, and I can’t decide which. This is the first mid-decade redistricting in modern times has been conducted because a President openly told a state legislature to do so in order to create more seats for his party for no other reason than to avoid losing a midterm.

You’re telling me that was fiction? I thought it was chronicling the corporate exodus of California.
