Until we pass a nationwide ban on gerrymandering (which we need), Democrats should gerrymander every state to the fullest extent. 52-0 in CA, 17-0 in IL, and so on. No more unilateral disarmament. Time to get serious about fighting back.

To say nothing of the fascist violence, right P?

The vast, vast majority are. The media is amplifying the naysayers for all the usual reasons.

What annoys me is that GOP is redistricting while Dems are talking about and considering clapping back.

They simply do.

We wring our hands, talk about it, shake our fists.

And itโ€™s always like that.

Always.

Dems need to move with FEROCITY and ALACRITY, and we never ever ever ever ever DO!

The dollar being the "reserve currency" of the entire world trade system isn't a bad deal either.

Itโ€™s fucked up that everyone on the right accused everyone on the left of being pedophiles for over a decade โ€” only to end up defending their cult leader when he transferred the worldโ€™s most notorious convicted pedophile into a luxury prison.

the โ€œthe left needs to stop shaming masculinity!!!โ€ talking point is always so funny to me bc it isnt the left who is telling men theyre inherently violent lust-driven creatures enslaved to their own biology who need to cruelly dominate everyone and everything or else theyre worthless

Wow. Who couldโ€™ve guessed the party thatโ€™s led to country to a recession every time theyโ€™ve been in charge in the last 40 years would lead the country to a recession again?

Yโ€™allโ€ฆ

We have an actively hostile president, congressional majority , and Supreme Court with a singular focus on bringing a religious ethnostateโ€ฆ

Blue states need to gerrymander.

You don't even present yourselves as real people on the internet. You don't get your names on ballots. You don't run campaigns. You certainly don't win them. You never show up to help. You whine, cry, and demand from the corners of the internet, then withhold your vote in the face of Trump et. al.

Welcome to being an adult in the real world. You don't get everything you want and have to make compromises with reality. And you are so privileged and self centered that you make everything about whether some rando elected was nice enough to you, and not about the realities of fascist Republicans.
