    Texas Dems conditioned their return on a promise by California to similarly redraw their districts in favor of their own party.

    Politely requesting a source on that being the actual claim of victory because that’s absolutely unhinged. If was the last thing on the whiteboard then it was the only thing and everyone regretted it was written.

      “California” can’t promise shit. All they can do (and this is Newsom’s plan) is to put on the ballot in November for California to eliminate their independent board that draws the district map. No idea if that would pass or not but it would be up to California voters, not the governor or Democratic Party.

    Okay so…. Why did they go back to Texas? Why are they sleeping in the capital building? What the fuck is going on? Is it as dumb as it seems? Just stay away. If they try to have you escorted tell them to fuck off and leave. I don’t get it.

    This seems to be a carefully crafted capitulation. The Dems do what they always do, which is nothing, but make a show of it to boost support. Kind of like Bookers pointless filibuster. Any way to get support other than the material improvement of their constituents lives. This is why I could never vote Dem. The sheer undiluted disdain they have for the base is astounding.

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
