I’ll be honest id care a lot more about what a Virginia politician has to say on the matter. Newsom ain’t gonna be president, so it’s annoying when their thirdway ass wants to keep hijacking the mic.
Newsom ain’t gonna be president
I remember people saying the same shit about a low-rent NYC real estate tycoon.
Newsom isn’t running to be the Republican nominee.
I really think we need reallow honor duels…
All gerrymandering is rigging. This whole thing is fucking absurdity. The fact that republicans started doing it and the fact the democrats had no choice but to follow suit to stay competitive then the fact that a court of law says it’s ok for republicans and not for democrats, this whole fucking thing is batshit. us democracy is a fucking joke top to bottom.
democrats had no choice but to follow suit
Democrats had a number of opportunities to outlaw gerrymandering at the national level. They also had a number of opportunities to pack the SCOTUS, admit several more states (DC, Puerto Rico, American Samoa if they were feeling really feisty) guaranteed to put more Dem House Reps into Congress. They even had opportunities to just turn out more liberal voters by dumping financial resources into highly successful GOTV organizations like ACORN.
At every turn, they balked and made excuses and complained about optics. “When they go low, we go high!” was always just empty rhetoric. Dems never went anywhere.
