It is good to see Democratic politicians playing by the updated rules.

It had been done by an independent commission before the SCOTUS blessed gerrymandering. Now they and other state Democrats have no choice but to play by the new rule. Bring it on!

if Texas makes their gerrymandering legal then California's gerrymandering is also legal.And if CA's gets challenged, then TX's will, also.
PS to Abbott / pedo Trump - do not poke the golden bear.. It's the fourth largest economy in the world..

as much as Trump loathes California and New York, they should both exit the United States, become their own countries.

Or if Trump moves towards Canada becoming the 51st State, Washington, Oregon, California, and New York should become part of Canada......

I would also include Alaska, but any day Trump is going to give Alaska back to Putin/Russia, claiming the original sale to the U.S. was illegal in some far fetched way........

It's entirely possible for one of them to be legal and the other to not be legal.

For the obviously relevant example... TX has redistricted mid-cycle before and their courts upheld it. Their legislature and governor have the power to draw the lines. CA's constitution does not allow the state legislature to draw the lines... so they hope to get the voters to change the state's constitution. The voters might reject that... or the state courts might rule the change to not be allowable (they've rejected proposed amendments in the past)... or they might rule that the process was not followed correctly. And none of that would impact TX's action.

And that's a big plus for me, tired of Schumer type responses, and want a fighter.

Like handed our democracy over to krasnov. The go along, to get along crowd.

Schumer had nothing to do with that. It was moronic voters with the memories of fruit flies.

as to equate MAGAt memory with fruit flies. It's more like a vacuum. It doesn't exist. They just do whatever their foul fuhrer wants them to do and say.

Immediately after the election, there was literally russians kicked out, after you could visibly see they were burning documents in our country. The Obama administration played nice, and sent them back to Russia.

That was the first egregious error. When you have Brenna out there telling us that this is a 911 size emergency, and they just sent them home? Why werent these russian spies not prosecuted for OBVIOUSLY ILLEGALLY HELPING TRUMP? Yes, I am yelling this. I dont know if half the people on this forum even remember it, because guess what? There was no rachael maddow, there was nobody talking RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA. There were a few people here being called conspiracy theorists, and to stop it. Other democrats, again, were telling us what we should and should not fight for, or believe in.

They had months left to blow this entire thing open. They didnt do a fucking thing, and it cost us our freedom

I live in California.

Damn, that parody of a T Rump post is funny! Good one Gov. I laughed out load. It's about time somebody mocked him. His niece, Mary Trump, says that's the way to really get to him.

Gavin Newsom is an extraordinary politician with exception timing and humor.

It’s way past time to fight back.

32 million Texas
42 million California

Why would population be the deciding factor in victory/defeat?

the more seats they get in the House.

CA can redraw the district lines to turn current red districts blue, which would increase D seats in the House.

California already has a higher percentage of blue seats than the red ones in TX (even after they redraw to pick up five).

Moreover, California is expected to lose three seats in the next cycle while Texas picks up as many as four.

CA could go "extreme" and attempt to remove every (R) seat meaning 9 more.

TX might have a harder time going "extreme" to remove all 12 (D) seats -

TEXAS

Regardless of the state's population... they have more to work with than CA's nine red seats and 17 blue districts won with less than 60% of the vote (seven of which were competitive).

where many of the GOP votes were Latino and (non-white) Latinos are now the majority population in the state. I.e., there is some FAFO that is starting to set in.

No backing down now. Just do it.
