ditch all their electronics and they're much harder to find. also ....

 

This dude is going get some serious mileage with the crowd who doesn’t think D’s are fighting hard enough, depending upon how he handles it.  I’m not sure I know what that even is.   He’s also taking the risk of getting his nuts kicked somehow. 
I do find his addition to this is actually making me more interested because my assumption is and was, that they will just cave like always and the new maps pass.

And they won't get taxed on it, to boot!

I mean, sure.  Why not?

The concept that the House of Representatives is representative of very much of anything is pretty much dead.  All we're doing now is putting a second bullet in the head of our democracy.

If they really want a futile and stupid gesture they should show back up for the vote like the Delta Tau Chis showed back up for the Faber Homecoming Parade.  

In all seriousness some form of this NEEDS to happen. Its the only way to get any attention.

I kinda hope we see Texas move forward with this effort, because I think the Republicans will fuck it up and not gain the 5 seats as promised. Trump won't be on the ballot in 26, and lots of independents don't like this version of him. I think the Rs may be putting other seats in jeopardy that they assume are safe, and this could lead to a some upheaval in the state reps currently in power. It wouldn't be the worst thing if that happened even if the numbers slightly change. 

More importantly, this nakedly obvious illegal and unethical power grab will give several blue states the motivation and reason to do the same, in a way that will be a huge net positive for the Dems seats in Congress. They have to fight fire with fire, and if they actually believe their warnings of "losing democracy forever" are true, then they need to occupy every seat possible to prevent it. California can definitely squeeze a few Rs out of power, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, etc could all pick up a few more seats. If they all do it, it would result in a seismic shift that could prevent the House from turning red for another decade.

The only reason Mike Johnson is even in power is because so many red and purple states have already done what Texas is threatening. So fuck them, fuck playing fair and doing the right thing, moral victories are for losers. Go win the damn thing and start blocking the dumb shit this administration spews out. Fight dirty, fight clean, whatever it takes, just actually fucking fight it.

This.  If the GOP does this, and the counter by D states sees the Rs go down - which is a real possibility - that may have some positive knock on effects.  Maybe then we will see bipartisan support for non-partisan map drawing boards and other common sense voter empowerment laws.  

LOL.HAHHAHA.

Man, I crack myself up.

Yeah the only way that happens, and it absolutely should happen, is if Congress passes a new Voting Rights act and SCOTUS upholds it. Not happening for quite some time, so in the mean time they gotta play the game. I think there are a lot more seats to be gained by Dems in Blue states than what the Rs can squeeze out of their states.

nevermind that the last voting rights act was declared null and void because racism had been solved, according to Roberts.
