“Unconstitutional redistricting” yep it sure is. But totally OK for Texas and Indiana to find more seats for the fascists. /s
Pot, meet kettle.
Remember, every accusation is a confession.

Yeah they laugh at us for caring about it
California got to vote on it AND it’s only temporary.
Gerrymandering should be deeply and severely illegal. Until then, California is at least doing it democratically and only in a last ditch effort to save democracy in the US.
Gerrymandering only exists because we don’t do proportional representation.
I’d love a system where you vote for a party first to gauge how many of the party will hold office and then a vote for who represents them.
But I suspect both Republicans and Democrats would reject this because it disrupts their status quo.
Just like a pool with a ranked vote or individuals for districts or…?
Genuinely curious how that works
You vote for the party first and foremost, not for any individual politician. Instead of voting for a local representative, you vote for a single party to represent you at a national level. That party then gets a certain number of seats based on how many votes it got. As a result, voting for a minor party that only gets 10% of the votes actually makes sense, as it then gets 10% of the seats in the parliament. In such systems there usually aren’t single parties with a majority, but coalitions of parties with varying viewpoints.
There are many mixed systems that use party voting, but also link parties to specific candidates. However, the system the previous comment described sounded more like party-list proportional representation.
For a large federal system like the US that has both local needs and far less regional differences than people realize, replacing the House and Senate with a party-list would both unify the country and destroy the power of duopolistic party elites. At the same time, the state and local elections could use any number of systems that focus more on candidates. It wouldn’t prevent a fascist like Trump from taking over, as Israel is a modern example of a party-list country under fascist control, but it would’ve required him to build a party as a politician rather than take over one of the big two.
Listen here, you removed you. Republicans are the bastions of constitutionality. That’s why we have the BEST economy and ZERO dissent. Only crime in DEMOCRAT cities.

I know they have no shame. But I use it as a litmus test to see what kind of idiot I’m dealing with. If they can’t see the hypocrisy, they’re an idiot whose opinions should be ignored and actions should be countered.

Epstein’s Law: every accusation from a Conservative [of being guilty of a thing] is a confession [of being guilty of the thing]
Unfortunately, Conservatives don’t understand sarcasm.
Hey, I studied piano at a conservatory that was in a conservation area, and I resemble that remark!
This guy, in the conservatory, with the lead pipe.
My condolences.
Fascists definitely don’t, but fuck em. The people have spoken. The fascists can’t be allowed to get away with election fraud. All these mofos getting served justice in the next few years.
I might be in the minority here, but I’m just glad that the Trans Pigeons are finally able to express themselves.
That’s what the young people are calling homers now? Transportation pigeons? I think I’m past the point of no return with keeping up with youth lingo.
“Stay tuned” it’s all a fucking game show to this peado cunt
First reality show loser to become president.
One day all this shit is going to find its way into history books, and some kids are going to have to study it and probably get tested on it. I hope they see all the grown adults running a state/country as being as pathetic as it really is, and aspire to be better as a result. This is the only hope I have for the future.
If social media had existed in Nazi Germany, I’m convinced the Nazis would have done the same type of stupid shit. It seems to be baked into fascism.
No need to be convinced by some imaginary counterfactual - historians have already established that Hitler was incompetent, lazy, and his government did the same kind of stupid shit.
Hitler was incredibly lazy. According to his aide Fritz Wiedemann, even when he was in Berlin he wouldn’t get out of bed until after 11 a.m., and wouldn’t do much before lunch other than read what the newspapers had to say about him, the press cuttings being dutifully delivered to him by Dietrich.

I still prefer Hitler over Trump. Only because that guy is fucking dead.
Hey fat ass, why not have Congress write a law to prevent it in the future. We will be waiting, in the meantime please shut the fuck up.
i can already see it: The Great Democratic Policy for Redistricting (GDPR), which prohibits any redistricting vote from passing unless it gets 60% approval from all sitting Republicans in the state.
Your probably right.
His probably right?
Our probably right
He is probably right about what would happen if they did pass a law to stop redistricting. Sorry if I wasn’t clear.
Apologies. I misunderstood. Thank you.
This is so fucking embarrassing.
How does someone read that and find trump even moderately palatable? It sounds like a senile news broadcast
He “tells it like it is” because he said something edgy and offensive once during his 4-hour rambling at a podium in Indiana.
I may never in my life have the chance to share this song in a more relevant way: Soup for my Family by Pigeon Pit, a trans folk punk musician from the Pacific Northwest: https://youtu.be/2Do0MIq9GSw
The gall of that man to accuse anyone of doing something unconstitutional.
ah there it is I was wondering why he did not start wailing and flailing
I first read trans penguins and thought it’s fake since penguins can’t fly but now it seems legit
Did someone do a doodie in his diaper?
What does “Fan Account” mean in this case (under Newsome’s name)?
It’s just a rando account who recreates the manner in which Newsom’s office tweets.
Ahh okay that makes sense. If only there was some sort of checkmark (maybe blue?) that could indicate that an account is official or not
Probably a tag since it’s Newsom’s press office and not Newsom himself
Edit: eh maybe not
It’s not Newsom’s press office.
Ah good call
I can’t wait to vote for Newsom for the primary and general!
God I would fucking hate that, I mean I’ll do it, but it’s going to be shit
Please no.
He can do something with a positive effect (mocking Trump in a way that gets through to many people) without being anything close to the best person to replace him.
A bag of dog shit would be preferable to a Republican, but let’s not settle for that either.
