1. This is just how MAGA should be addressed...

[newdeal2]

2. Agreed

Although I’m sure this corrupt SCOTUS will approve TX maps and reject CA.

[uponit7771]

3. Right, we can't trust them either

[JMCKUSICK]

5. No, he should call a special session and present that map

You know, like Desantis did. We need to act.

[JMCKUSICK]

4. I'm sorry, but why are we talking about this

as usual, while they're fucking doing it?
When are we going to at least join the fight with the same weapons?
If we do this right, the map should be in play for this cycle, you know, like all those f'd up maps that other states keep getting to use until they get overturned after the election.
Stop fucking talking and start doing!
Sorry for the language, I just feel like we keep fighting from the fights they were fighting fifteen years ago and they keep redesigning the arena and the rules.
When do we go cutthroat tactics?

[JMCKUSICK]

6. And for anyone that says the courts won't allow it,

Let's fucking cross that bridge when we get to it, you know, cause that's never stopped them.

[BannonsLiver]

7. Agree.

Just do it.

[MadameButterfly]

8. The courts didn't allow it in NY

We have honest judges. Not so in the Red states.
And someone pointed out that if all the states did this, there would be a net gain for Republicans because they run more states.
I'm not sure how the numbers would really come out, obviously it shouldn't be allowed to happen only in Red states
But I'm not so sure there's an easy solution here

[JMCKUSICK]

9. The solutions aren't easy

That's the difference between them and us. They don't measure actions in terms of possible success, they'll tie this crap up for years all the while benefitting because as usual, we're reacting and they're protecting.

10. They didn't but that becomes a "tomorrow problem" if Texas passes their map

There will be a lawsuit later, but I think we'll just have to take the chance today and worry about the possible setbacks tomorrow.

11. Aren't there some chances that redistricting in TX may dilute the (r) faithful voters

so that some that may actually be disgusted by these shenanigans will flip or just not vote?

[MadameButterfly]

15. I haven't noticed Rs being disgusted

by shenanigans.

[Upthevibe]

12. Yes!

That's my Gov. He's a fighter!

[Amaryllis]

13. great interview with Newsom and Brian Tyler Cohen on this:

More detail on how it would work:

[Celerity]

14. Do it. Fight fire with fire. The fate of the Union of the States hangs in the balance.

We simply must control the Executive and both Houses of Congress come Jan 20th, 2029.

The first 2 years of a Dem POTUS (Jan 20, 2029 to Jan 3rd, 2031), plus hopefully the 2nd two years as well if we maintain congressional control in the 2030 midterms, are so vital to not just starting to roll back the insane structural damage of the Trumpian era, but also to find workarounds when the new post-2030 census massive pro-Rethug/Red state reapportionment hits us hard in the 2032 midterms and beyond.

If we fail to run the table (POTUS, House, Senate) in 2028 the nation is well fucked, unless we somehow (after winning the POTUS in 2028) can gain control of both House and Senate in 2030.

If we lose the POTUS in 2028 we are in even worse shape, and if the Rethugs have control of both POTUS and both chambers the nation is in true doomsday territory, even moreso if they have full control until 2032, when the House and Electoral College maps swing, for a decade or longer, massively in their favour.

16. Do it!!

17. Gavin Newsom and Democratic Party Reboot

California Governor is a strong leader who attract a lot of people. Besides his leadership, we must have positive and effective ways to reach both active Democrats and people disaffected by Trump. A small trickle of Republicans flipped to the Democratic Party.

Our party must reboot itself with better organization, more proactive solutions, and ways to meet the needs of Americans. Gov. Newsom is the right person to implement the changes. A more aggressive member recruitment campaign is also needed to appeal to those who dislike Trump.
