28. The Democratic Party needs to follow the lead of the RedMap strategy
That was created by Republican operatives after the 2008 election. They realized that 2010 was a census year and if they had people in place in the state legislatures to gerrymander redistricting, they could have districts that would let them get more Republicans in the House.
We need to start working NOW to get Democrats into the state legislatures so OUR people are in place for 2020. Thankfully the courts have been turning back some of the most egregious gerrymandered maps but not all. If Democrats work for FAIR redistricting, we can get more seats in Congress and stop this abuse by the Republicans. BLUE MAP STRATEGY! Blue Maps (sung to the tune of Blue Skies)
Maps were red, just as red as they could be Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me Then good luck came a-knocking at my door Maps were red but they're not red anymore Blue maps Smiling at me Nothing but blue maps Do I see Bluebirds Singing a song Nothing but bluebirds All day long Never saw the sun shining so bright Never saw things going so right Noticing the days hurrying by When you're in charge, my how they fly Blue maps All of them gone Nothing but blue maps From now on I should care if the wind blows right or left I should fret if the worst looks like the best I should mind if they say it can't be true I should smile, that's exactly what I do |
