Do it. Coward.
At this point dems need to play dirty and gerrymander as well. Though cali is a weird start, maybe some purple states would be better?
Do not split.

Wow...this was really enlightening. I really like this approach because I agree: I don't know what will work. We need to make room for people to resist in a way that is comfortable for them. I may be more "radical" than some.
We'll have to see what works but in the mean time, I will do my best not to split. It will be hard not to critique but I see the need to not do that.
Fascinating… need to think on this.
California could definitely do it, we have a lot of seats in Congress, more R’s than you might expect. The main obstacle is the nonpartisan redistricting commission, but there’s already a ballot measure proposed that will exempt the 2026 election from the nonpartisan commission, depending on what Texas does.
It’s basically a hedge: if Texas fucks with their districts, we’ll go around the CA commission and fuck with our districts. If Texas does nothing, we’ll do nothing and CA’s nonpartisan commission retains its power. I might be oversimplifying a bit, but I just filled out a survey asking if I’d support this (I definitely do).
‘If’ Texas does? Bruhhhhh……. But that makes sense. Also dems should take the kid gloves off…. The Guarding Old Pedophiles party isn’t playing
They need to work any conditional into a law and pass it ASAP. Don't wait to respond until after the drama pays out, because then they'll time a resolution at a point where CA cannot get the process complete in time, or the TX maps will be allowed while the CA map gets "temporarily" blocked in a court case.
He is doing it... it's being put to a vote as a trigger law, to take effect immediately if Texas does it. Most blue states have independent redistricting commissions by state constitutional amendment. The referendum is to provide cover for doing it. It's what every blue state should do, provided they can't pass a trigger law directly.
It's blue states and not purple states because Democrats need to control every lever of power in a state to pass a partisan law.
I sorta think I might be dumb. There was another person who posted a do not criticize things, and I still need to think on that longer, but yes, I’m glad he is tajing some sort of stand against this shit! Thanks!
There has to be a ballot approval of removal of anti-gerrymandering districting rules. Newsom has said that the legislation is prepared and that the legislature is prepared to call a special election for it.
That’s fair. And I would rather fair districts…like make a committee and all, third party. Buuuuuuuttttty….. shits goin wild
