The aggressive gerrymander could help Democrats flip as many as five House seats next year. While that could neutralize new maps in Texas, Republicans are redrawing more district lines elsewhere.

Cool. The democratic left needs to stop being a bunch of fucking pushovers. If the right is going to play hardball, than play hardball back and fucking win, and fuck the moralists who whine like babies about “BuT tHeN wE’rE nO bEtTeR ThAn ThEM.” Like, bitch, we can worry about that shit after we take care of ousting the pack of right-wing cheating fuckwits with zero regard for the law and rules. Then once shit is back and stable, we can worry about your pansy ass empty do-gooder tolerance that allowed the extreme right a voice in the first place.
While I agree with your comment generally, being against gerrymandering isn’t “pansy ass empty do-gooder tolerance.” While it might be the right move for Dems now, gerrymandering as a practice is still super fucking problematic and not a proper way to govern. It’s undemocratic and should be illegal for all states.
You’re not wrong, gerrymandering sucks. But the right wields it unfairly and gets away with it. So we need to do it back. Only when we have enough collective power to dismantle the entirety of gerrymandering at the federal level all at once and for good can it be truly done away with. Until we get to that point, we have to play hardball back, or the right will just continue to get their way.
Too true. Can’t shape the country unless you’re in charge. We’re in a zero sum political situation now. Gone are the days of bipartisan progress.
