A Republican majority decision. Everything after this part was irrelevant or frankly wrong. Like this but:
Its still not the GOP. And nothing I said was irrelevant or wrong.
Crawl out from under your rock.
You crawl out from under your rock and look at the decisions being made at the SC right now. Republicans have carte-blanc to redistrict as they see fit. Democrats aren’t being allowed to respond in-kind. Before California and Virginia took up the redistricting process, we were not talking about Dem’s taking the house. Now were looking at facing even more structural barriers to doing so, not to mention the almost certainty of ICE fuckery around the election and the absolute certainty of court challenges whenever convenient, voter roll purges, polling place changes, and whatever else we can and should expect to happen between now and then.
You can’t just keep “hoping” things will be fine by following the process, if the consequences of that process failing are that you no longer have a democracy, which is the consequence we’re facing. This needs to be treated like a 3-alarm fire and responded to as such. Hope among Democrats is what has continuously led to things getting worse. Hope isn’t a strategy.
Yes we were. You deciding to ignore more context doesn’t make you less wrong here. But it is pointless continue this conversation because you’re still unable to follow it.
