(15,365 posts)voter suppression and gerrymandering.
I admit that I freaked out just a bit when I heard the quote from the traitor Kevin McCarthy about how he is willing to 'bet his house' that Republicans will take back the US House in 2022, with only five seats to flip.
Now, this alone didn't do it, but a subsequent post said that due to gerrymandering and voter suppression, Democratic strategists believe the Republicans 'will gain six seats before any votes are even cast.' That did freak me out.
We have a year and eight months, folks, to do some deep canvassing, and we'd better get to it. In the meantime how can we stop these Republican controlled state legislatures from passing more voter suppression bullshit? Even here in my own state, the Republicans are slamming the Democratic governor with his response to COVID, and have introduce suppression measures in the state legislature. They won't go anywhere because Democrats control the legislature, but still, it ain't gonna stop until we literally destroy the radical Q element in the Republican party.
