B-Man Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Meanwhile: Texas Democrats Fled Their State. They’ve Done That Before. It Almost Never Works Time ^ | 8/4/25 | Phillip Elliott If you’re one of the millions of Texas residents living in a blue state House district, there’s a better-than-even-odds chance your state rep has fled the state. Even if you live in a red district, or really anywhere else in the country, those truancies could determine the final two years of President Donald Trump’s time in Washington. More than 30 Texas lawmakers are in Illinois. Another six are in New York. Massachusetts was a draw for others as their comrades gathered for an unrelated wonkfest. And a few are in California, where Gov. Gavin Newsom first floated a plan that has become a national script for Democrats preparing to retaliate against Texas, where Republicans plan to further gerrymander the state’s U.S. House districts to improve their chances at maintaining the national balance of power in Washington. In a striking reminder just how fragile politics can be, roughly 60 state lawmakers—each standing as proxy for just shy of 200,000 constituents—stand to potentially decide who will be the next House Speaker dictating policy for 345 million Americans. They split from their state on Sunday in what boosters have branded a “Texodus,” one day after a GOP-led panel in Austin moved forward with a partisan rewrite of the state’s district maps. And yet, despite serving as a rallying cry among Democrats nationally, this gambit by Texas Democrats is going to fail if history is to be a guide.

He is proud of getting his plan to take some of the raw politics out of redistricting in California, and he is disappointed that whatever progress was made is about to be undone all over the country.

Big Blitz Posted August 6 Posted August 6 He is a ***t stain on this country As it should. Also since 2020 - the Democrats have fast tracked to full blown communists.

You should like that I would think. 1st in wind. 2nd in solar. 2nd in battery storage. Quote DALLAS – Texas ranks first in the nation for wind power generation, second for solar power generation, second in the nation for battery storage, and third in the nation for the number of electric vehicle registrations through 2023, according to the online Renewables on the Rise 2024 dashboard released on Wednesday by Environment Texas Research & Policy Center. https://environmentamerica.org/texas/media-center/new-analysis-texas-continues-dominance-in-wind-and-solar-power-generation/ But in regards to gerrymandering, both parties are united in their hypocrisy on the issue. Either one would and have done it when they can and would do it again tomorrow if they can.
Westside Posted August 6 Posted August 6 On 8/4/2025 at 6:59 PM, The Frankish Reich said: It's not so much the gerrymandered districts; it's the attempt to force through a quick/unprecedented redistricting in response to Trump's call to do so for purely partisan reasons. There is nothing to stop this from happening all around the country, including attempts to draw districts that result in two incumbents in one district. That happens sometimes, but due to population declines, etc., and not in response to a brazen/calculated attempt to rig the entire process. Sure, you can say this has always happened to a lesser degree and with lip service paid to things like shared community ties or Supreme Court-mandated racial concerns, but this is a step beyond. And as we've seen many times already, once one side gets away with it the floodgates are opened. Whatever one thinks of the Texas Dems, no one on either side should applaud this attempt to even further politicize redistricting. It is the ultimate "the congressman chooses his voters instead of the voters choosing their congressman." It's shameful and it ought to be called out as such. You’re a few years too late to B word about it now! Leftists do it, no problem! Republicans do it, democracy is falling!!!!! Bunch of leftist simps! 1
B-Man Posted August 6 Posted August 6 This is why Democrats are so scared of gerrymandering, because every blue state is already gerrymandered to the maximum possible extent. Guess Who's Paying for the Runaway Texas Democrats' Attempt to Block GOP Redistricting ? Aside from the "we're saving democracy by trying to stop the democratic process from playing out in the state legislature" lunacy from many Texas Democrats, they're also making it clear they also don't believe all their "existential threat from climate change" warnings: https://twitchy.com/dougp/2025/08/06/guess-whos-paying-for-the-runaway-texas-democrats-attempt-to-stop-gop-redistricting-n2416816
