      Prisoners dilemma, but in this case we’ve already seen how the other prisoner (Texas) has acted. Should we take 3 years while they go free? Or make it 2 and 2?

      In this case, unfortunately, yes. It also cancels after the next census in 2030 and control is handed back to the committee. The expiration date is the only reason I voted yes.

      It’s not good, but at this point, the President is pushing Republicans to redrawn districts to explicitly favor Republicans, which is explicitly illegal. He should be impeached for this, along with any Republicans who go along with it. But… With Republican control of all 3 branches of government, he will never be impeached and removed. At this point, fighting fire with fire is the only option left.

      So no, it’s not good, it would just be way worse not to do it

    Because disenfranchising people is the solution to disenfranchising people. But who knows - this may be the least bad option.

      They’re welcome to leave and move to a red state. I left a red state and went to a blue one last year. They can do it too.
