  2. I fully support redistricting to save our democracy. Even one seat might make all the difference for our future as a nation.

  3. Maryland is currently 7-1, and if Democrats want they can break the eastern shore district by dividing the only big Republican county in 2 districts and making it 8-0. Considering how GOP has gerrymandered close States like North Carolina and Texas, Maryland is pretty strong Blue state, 8-0 is *fire with fire*

  5. Every blue state should do this. Enough games already.

  8. The game theory here is pretty clear. It’s like choosing to make your Electoral College votes winner take all vs proportional. Any state that allows their Congressional votes to be proportional will lose influence massively to those that are winer take all. So really every majority party in every state should gerrymander as much as possible, or risk becoming irrelevant.

  9. Good. Texas literally redistricted through one building. The entrance to the building is in one district and the back is in another district. That’s not making things fair. That’s blatant separation of blue districts into Rorschach test shapes just to be racist. Nahhhhh 

    Edit: I initially posted “restricted” instead of “redistricted”. Apologies. 

  10. Can someone please calculate what’s the final outcome would be if both red and blue states gerrymander their state to the extremist and swing states leave unchanged?

  11. Take the gloves off! Stop bringing a slingshot to a gunfight.

  13. All blue states should do this, take the damn gloves off already!

  14. Do it. Everyone must play by the same rules or you lost from the start.

  15. GOOOOOODDDDD!!!!!

    Yes, yes yes yes.

    And if any “Democrats” stand in the way of this, purge their asses from the party at this point. The old guard needs to fuck off already. Really appreciate the decades of dedication that got us here, but at this point you need to give us “kids” the keys to the damn car.

  16. Please redistrict Andy Harris out of a job!

    love, the District of Columbia

  17. My opinion is let it go off the rails so badly that both sides are forced to come up with something fair

  18. Newsom acknowledged what Dem leadership won’t; You CANT take the high road anymore.

    Dems always take the high road.

    Trump/MAGA doesn’t have a bottom. It doesn’t. He’s literally protecting his old friends who are pedophiles . There is no bottom.

    Fox News/MAGA ecosystem personalities will ALWAYS spin why he is not bad.

    Dems have to fight fire with some fire

  20. I sure hope someone has done the math to make sure the right side wins when all states go all out on this…

  21. That’s the thing about playing the partisan redistricting game. The red states have already been gerrymandered to hell and back for two decades now, and while the Democrats haven’t been innocent in playing the gerrymander game either in the past the gerrymandering in blue states have been far less egregious than those in the red states up until this point.

    If the GOP wants to play they need to realize they have far less room to work with in gaining seats than they have to lose if blue states reciprocate. The GOP’s only big seat haul is Texas, and they can’t even make that happen.

    This is a losing game for the GOP, they were stupid for opening Pandora’s Box on the issue and should be begging for independent commissions to draw the maps at this point.

  23. Just fucking do it. Dont wait. Just. Fucking. Do it. The Empire is not waiting around.

  24. Alright boys…. It’s time to grow some balls!

  25. I’m all in favor of this specifically to throw Andy Harris’ ass out of Congress. Fuck that guy.

  28. This feels like a weird never come back from situation we are on the edge of. Like even if Trump goes in a few years and we can restore sanity, it feels like it will be too late and the concept of actual representation will be gone forever with the extreme this is all going to get taken to.

  29. Maryland’s 7-1 could easily become 8-0 by splitting the Eastern Shore’s lone GOP stronghold lmao. With Republicans carving up swing states like North Carolina and Texas, there’s no reason a solid-blue state shouldn’t answer in kind… fight fire with fire and lock in every seat lol

  30. Don’t even give them a warning. Just do it. If Trump didn’t have such a big mouth, that’s what would have happened in Texas. He thinks he’s a genius, though. He just had to let everyone know.

  31. I’m over taking the high road. Let’s play in the mud.

  32. These are the kinds of actions that lead to civil war. It might be unavoidable though if maga won’t let Americans vote them out. Trump has never won a majority of votes in 3 elections, most Americans have never wanted MAGA. They must allow the voice of American people to be heard

  33. It’s not like republicans will make a move to do away with gerrymandering to stop democrats from doing it too. They would never win another election without it.

  34. This shit is so funny, if Republicans want to abuse the law we can all abuse the law together. Tired of dems taking the moral high ground while the other party blatantly cheats and steals right in front of them

  35. Damn right. Gloves off. They are an APARTHEID government. The only reason they’re in power is gerrymandering, disenfranchisement, and downright fraud I think will be proven.

    Dems must do whatever it takes to take the house and Senate and then they need to add a bunch of representatives to urban areas that they are OWED constitutionally.

    Then they need to expand the Supreme Court.

    Not the time to be timid. I think all of the old guard democrats need to gtfo because they have failed and their policies and style have failed us.

  36. Gloves off! Texan here! Thank you for helping to balance our suppressed voices in Texas!

  37. Just do it, don’t make talke show GOP that you guys going stand up and fight it

  38. They need to take the flag back, start going over the top with American flags at pro-democracy rallies and events, and you will see how quick all the pedo supporting Trump fluffers only use confederate surrender flags

  39. Blue maps are beatiful indeed.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter!

  40. I think showing them how much more dems can take by using the same tactics is fair. Equal fuckery for both parties is a dem win. Letting men with no morals fuck the world while standing on principle and decorum will not work. The old ways are sadly dead.

  41. Im fine with it, though its only 1 seat.

    Both MD senators are dem, along with 7 out of 8 of our representatives

  42. All blue states need to do this the republicans cannot match the amount of seats they will lose. It would be devastating and once they take back the congress an immediate vote to impeach trump and his administration needs to be put to the floor.

  43. Th next distracting excuse for not actually governing is upon us.

  44. Massachusetts is at least 30%conservative yet 0 seats? Is that a fair representation for 30% of the state?

  45. Bravo. Finally some more movement to stop that scumbag governor in Texas.

  47. Democrats should do it everywhere possible. The gop is saying all blue states are gerrymandered so why not just do that? We can stop this fascism.
