Re:gerrymandering - total War. This includes a big escalation in redistricting, if MAGA don't like it, tough shit.

Democrats need to accept that they're entering a new era of procedural Total War. This includes a big escalation in redistricting, but it's not limited to that. If Republicans don't like it, tough shit: They made this world, and they are the ones inflicting it on us.

1. They are saying that Democrats do the same thing. No they started it midterm mid decade redistricting.

This is really the first time it’s happened and at the direction of a Republican president come on people

[eShirl]

5. They reset the rules and now complain we're playing by those new rules.

7. I guess we're gonna have to be willing to throw a few bean balls

2. Maybe, just maybe, Dems can start showing up at street fights with something other than baked goods.

[Walleye]

8. Generally, Democrats are not violent by nature. We gotta throw a few brushback pitches

[CanonRay]

3. This is the beginning of the end of the Union.

Just like Putin dreamed of.

4. Johnson has given the reps two weeks to mobilize.

They shouldn't waste time.

6. And then, once we regain power, we pass legislation to stop this weapons race and take this crap off the table.

9. It's gotta be up to us. The Republicans are never gonna play fair, no matter what.

They complain when the redistricting tilts toward Black people. If they had popular policies and candidates, maybe Black people would vote for them, that never enters their heads for some reason.

11. Yes. There are certain fundamental positions that are vocally and frequently defended here and that

depend on republicans improving their characters. Namely the argument of "Why are you bashing Democrats? This is republicans' fault! They need to fix this!"

OF COURSE this is republicans' fault, but they will NEVER fix anything. They never have and they never will. So if we want things to improve, WE must come up with creative and new ways to oppose them more effectively. And saying that is not bashing.

We have to change tactics because they never will, and if we don't we will never regain our Democracy. Because don't look now, but we're beyond "We must save our Democracy." We've already lost it. And now we must gain it back.

12. Correct, unfortunately

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. The timetable for redrawing district lines for the midterms is very tight

Some states might pull it off, but others may not.

2028 is the year that will likely see the most dramatic, widespread redistricting.

Court expansion must be priority #1 for 2029, and we better start hearing Dems start talking about it NOW.

13. losers made nice with districting fair commissions and now the bill is due
