>“Here in New York, we will not stand on the sidelines with the timid souls on the sidelines who don’t care and will not invest their heart and soul into this battle,“ she said at a joint press conference in New York. „This is a war. We are at war, and that’s why the gloves are off. And I say, bring it on with that.“
First sane words I’ve heard in a long time. Love that energy
>“If Republicans are willing to rewrite these rules to give themselves an advantage, then they’re leaving us no choice; we must do the same,“
The Gerrymander Wars have begun.
Sorry Supreme Court says you cant. Texas can you cant. On the grounds of fuck you.
Good. Texas can’t just say „yeah we’re going to gerrymander the fuck out of the state with the express purpose of getting Republicans five more seats in the house“ and expect blue states to just go, „well gosh that’s sure wrong of you, nothing we can do about it.“ No, those days are over.
I’m totally against the concept of politicians choosing their voters, but the way to end gerrymandering is a universal mandate that affects all states equally. Political gerrymandering will never end just because blue states take a moral position and refrain from it, while red states do it on steroids. Until it is outlawed for the entire country, blue states need to fight fire with fire
„One district would link part of Austin to Odessa, located 340 miles west.“
Cheat to win.
GOP declared war on this country decades ago. Good to see some Dem leadership starting to catch on.
Release the Trump-Epstein files
If TX pulls this 💩 then NY, IL and CA should do the same. You need to fight fire with fire. Rules and courtesy are off the fng table now since we have a pedo felon in office who flagrantly disregards every rule out there.
This country isn’t staying together
No, the Texas GOP declared war. Democrats are responding.
Please don’t let this just be PR. They need to just do it, regardless of TX. We need to fight fire with fire here.
When conservatives realize they cannot win democratically they will not abandon conservatism, they will abandon Democracy
There are 7 Republican seats in New York, gerrymander them into oblivion.
It’s seemingly the only way. Either force the Supreme Court to be blatantly corrupt yet again or have them force an end to the practice.
The New York court of appeals ruled in a 4-3 decision in 2022 that their proposed congressional maps were unconstitutional, causing a redraw, and a loss of 7 democratic seats.
7 additional democratic seats would change the balance of power in the house, which would mean the Republican Party didn’t control every branch of government.
If ONE judge voted the other way, they could have stopped the current fascist takeover of the government. ONE JUDGE!
Cmon democrats time to buy land in rural America
at least they’re trying to bring a pistol to this rifle fight. That’s a step in the right direction.
Fuck yes. This is the response we need.
Someone should make a case to SCOTUS that the Apportionment Act of 1911 and the Reapportionment Act of 1929 are unconstitutional. There is nothing in the Constitution that limits the total number of US Representatives.
I’m still calling this the cold civil war.
New York may have declared war but Texas fired the first shot.
Democrats have the majority in the country. If every blue state did what the red states have been doing for a while now, democrats would gain seats. Every blue state should do this in response and we will have a better representation of the actual population
GOP are pedo protectors and denying Americans fair elections.
Republicans literally already declared war. „We are in the midst of a revolution and it will remain bloodless so long as the left allows it to be.“ Do we not all remember those words?
Democrats talking this way is a step in the right direction…now FOLLOW THROUGH!!!! At this point they should redistrict to Democratic advantage in every blue state, regardless of whether the texas republicans manage to redistrict or not.
