    It’s so great that Red States will be allowed to gerrymander out all Blue districts while Blue States have to stay roughly evenly split! I love when democracy heavily favors the side of those wanting to destroy democracy! /s

      From 2000-2024, Democrats as a party fought with one hand tied behind their back.

      This decision in combination with the Supreme Court decision earlier this week, Democrats are now fighting with both ands and a leg tied behind their backs. If this is allowed to persist there is no practical path to a Democratic majority in congress this election cycle. And thats not accounting for ICE gestapo voter suppression, and whatever challenges we can expect to election results where its inconvenient for Republicans.

        If the Democrats learn anything since 2024 it better be that “fighting fair” doesn’t get you any brownie points. Helping people does. So if you need to fight dirty to breakup monopolies, imprison child sex offenders, lower carbon emissions, and raise teacher salaries you fucking do it.
