THE ISSUE is NOT gerrymandering, the issue is TRYING TO RIG THE NEXT ELECTION because you are LOSING [View all]

you are LOSING (GQP), and trying to gerrymander your way out of it MID-DECADE
which is VERY, VERY RARE! (and against the spirit of the U.S. Constitution!)

THAT ought to be the Democratic message on this issue---
Republicans are trying to CHEAT and RIG the 2026 midterm elections,
by gerry-mandering "a few more seats" in the middle of the fucking decade!!!

Yes, there is gerrymandering in many Democratic states as well as Republican states---
But NOT mid-decade for the sake of trying to prevent mid-term election losses!
(Only 2 Republican states have done that in this century... and no Democratic states)


Democrats are LOSING the messaging war, when the mainstream media
makes them try to defend 'how gerrymandered Illinois is'---

but Illinois played by the 'norms', and never tried to redraw congressional districts
in the middle of the fucking decade---- as opposed to Texas....

If Texas actually does it, then it is fair game for everyone else!
