republicans from doing it anyway in those red states?

Seriously, if they are already going to do it in Texas, then the "battle" has already started, and nothing is going to stop them from doing it in other red states, whether the Democrats do something or not in the blue states.

Haven't we learned anything?

I thought redistricting was supposed to happen after the census, and if republicans are saying to hell with that, then Democrats have no choice, they have to.

If they do Texas, then we do California. For every state they do, the Democrats need to meet it.

It is either that or we take it to the Supreme Court, trying to "game" the system, and with this Supreme Court, I wouldn't count on fairness.

Everyday it is something new, and some folks get pissed off when people express frustration and anger with what happened in 2016 and 2024, when too many people refused to vote for the Democratic nominee, and not surprisingly those that were in that category of not voting or voting third party, seem to be quite upset with a situation that they helped bring about.

I am sorry, but who in the hell didn't know what the stakes were in 2016 and 2024?

Hint: THE SUPREME COURT WAS AT STAKE!!!
