How the Democrats Became the Party That Brings Pencils to a Knife Fight

[bigtree]

13. when has Jia Lynn Yang ever written about ANYTHING our party has done right?

...when/where the fuck did she become some authority on Democrats; or even politics for that matter?

We don't need projection and conjecture from someone who has NEVER advocated on behalf of the party, in any way.

And what fucking rule are we supposed to be breaking?

NO ONE in the Democratic party is advocating 'rigging the maps,' ffs.

That's what Texas republicans and other maga governors have done by advancing maps merely forwarded by their majorities in state legislatures.

What Newsom is going to do is put the maps to a vote by putting them on the ballot.

Newsom will work with other state legislators to introduce a constitutional amendment circumventing the state’s strict laws that prohibit map changes in the middle of a decade. The governor is expected to release the proposed map by the end of this week, and the state Legislature could meet as early as next week to approve the changes.

The new map would then be voted on during a special election in November and, if approved, would stay in affect until the census is taken again in 2030. After that, the state would return to its current laws that require maps to be drawn by an independent citizen’s commission.
