Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday said Democrats have a plan to mobilize gerrymandering in more blue states if Republicans continue mid-decade redistricting efforts under the direction of President Donald Trump.
If?
Fuck them.
Exactly. There’s no reason to pin our actions to theirs anymore. They have no rules.
Nike: Just do it
Do it, stop pussyfooting around! Stop threatening and DO IT
Just fucking do it.
What is this “if” business? They’ve been openly doing this for decades. Take REDMAP for example. Democrats have failed to respond.
As long as democrats fail to respond and just play defense, they will continue to need 53% of the vote to win the presidency and will continue losing federal and state legislative majorities.
Has anyone done the numbers nationwide? If everyone min-maxes their preferred party, where would we stand? What gains would be made? So wins?
Haven’t done the math, but the prevailing thought seems to be red states already extensively gerrymandered their districts to retain what they have, blue states potentially have more juice to squeeze.
Red states outnumber blue states close to 2 to 1 though. Even if blue gains more proportionally they might still lose more overall.
True, but consider the Electoral College:
Republicans policies are universally unpopular.
Jesus fuck, piss or shut the fuck up.
Reminder that doing this at this point while cathartic in the fact that would mean Democrats are finally not stupid and playing the game but the game is unwinnable at this point because they’ve high roaded themselves into a completely unwinnable situation with this.
