Elections Republican Policies are So Unpopular they Need to Gerrymander Texas to Stay in Power

[evansusmc2]

Yes he won in November but is afraid that republicans will get crushed in the mid terms; hence the panicked redistricting.

“He’s gonna be off the ballot!”, “he’s going to jail!”, “he’s gonna lose the election by 20 million votes and yall gonna be big mad ah ah ah ah ah ah”.

Hey…. Excuuuuuse me if I don’t take the word of some sherlefty seriously

What has changed between November and now?

Inflation in the 4 states that I have traveled/coached in has gone down, your buddies that hopped over illegally or overstayed their visas are getting tossed out, etc etc….

Oh and of course you failed to admit you were wrong about yout "unpopular policy bla bla" comment

 

[Witchhunt]

He thinks DOJ going after UCLA for Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is Trump policies LOL. Didn’t know fourteenth Amendment was a Trump policy .. LOL

He’d have some entertainment value if he wasn’t such a hateful spaz…

Trump on Texas redistricting: ‘We are entitled to 5 more seats’​

That is the entire reason why this is happening. If you are too stupid to realize that, that's on you.

Whoa, are you calling me stupid? I just asked a simple question because I don’t follow trump or his various fucked up schemes.

You use stupid Orwellian language and never answer my questions directly. Why not just say the SNAP program?

States often gerrymander; Illinois did it in 2022. Yes, people saving their own money is really devastating… Is there anything else you want to throw at the wall and see if it sticks?

You know not everything about Trump sometimes it’s about the actual states and local representation. If Harris won they would still be doing this .

Edit but with SNAP I’m not a fan at some of the cuts because while trying to get rid of the abusers some innocents that need it might get caught in that dragnet, because the gov workers generally suck at their jobs. Also with the no soda purchases I’m not a fan of that , no that kids needs soda but to be poor and a kid can be embarrassing and then thinking you can’t even have soda just makes that worse, it’s minor but still . Conflicted feelings on it

Were all the tax breaks for the ultra rich designed to cut abuse or make it easier? Where is all the proof of abuse and fraud? About 88 people an hour are dying do to the USAID cuts. It was a drop in the bucket in terms of budget impact and I thought these kinds of programs were what made the country great.

You still can't bring yourself to actually address the topic, the republicans trying to rig the mid terms by adding seats in Texas.

All we get out of you its excuses and deflection.

Didn't need redistricting in November, why the panicked rush to add republican seats?

You really think all of Trump's policies are popular? Really? Disingenuous much?

I don’t follow that stuff and don’t care. I didn’t follow it or cares when democrats did it either.

Says the female that spews disgusting insults and refuses to adhere to the fact Trump got elected due to his policies.

LOL! Why didn't you say so earlier?


You are not grasping what actually going on because you "don't follow that stuff" so no point in discussing it with you.

Nonsense. They were aware that the implication that its "settled law" or "the law of the land" means it's what the people want, and is settled. They gave intentionally vague answers to hide their intent. That's definitely lying. Its clever, but suggesting that it's not deceitful is disingenuous.

bro they just meant 'its settled... until we unsettle it again' wtf you mean, you act like most people think a 'settled question' is settled for good, or that people refer to 'settling down in marriage' as being a commitment to a permanent relationship, or that Israeli 'settlers' are intending to put down permanent roots in the west bank, or something.

In 2019 the Democrats tried to make Gerrymandering illegal.

This was the “For the people act” of 2019.

Every single Republican voted against it. Every one of them.

The Democrats have never had a president request a that a state explicitly gerrymander to give him more seats. It is a level of corruption that is totally outside the norm. There is no “both siding” this issue.

Also worth mentioning: Trump is a rapist and the republicans blocked the release of the Epstein files to protect p-e-dophiles

House Democrats cast a vote aimed at banning partisan gerrymandering on the federal level. That occurred on March 8, 2019, when the Democratic‑controlled House passed H.R. 1, formally known as the For the People Act, which included a provision to outlaw partisan gerrymandering by requiring independent redistricting commissions and prohibiting maps that favor—or "unduly favor"—one party Wikipedia.

Here are the key details:

• The For the People Act (H.R. 1) was introduced in the 116th Congress (2019), sponsored by Rep. John Sarbanes (D‑MD) Wikipedia.
• On March 8, 2019, the House passed the bill along party lines, with a vote of 234–193 Wikipedia.
• The bill proposed major reforms: mandating independent commissions for drawing congressional district lines, prohibiting partisan gerrymandering, and establishing clear criteria for district maps Wikipedia.

So, to answer succinctly: House Democrats voted to ban partisan gerrymandering as part of the For the People Act on March 8, 2019.

Would you like to know more about how that bill fared afterward, or how this issue has evolved in recent years?

​

Did any republicans vote for the bill?

​

No, zero Republicans voted for the For the People Act (H.R. 1) when it passed the House on March 8, 2019.

Breakdown of the vote:​

• Yes: 234 (all Democrats)
• No: 193 (all Republicans)
• Not voting: 4

This was a completely party-line vote, with every Republican voting against it. The bill included sweeping election reforms, such as:

• Requiring independent commissions to draw congressional districts (to ban partisan gerrymandering),
• Expanding voting rights,
• Increasing campaign finance transparency,
• Creating new ethics rules for federal officials.

isn't this what newsom is also doing in california?
isn't the dem policy to airdrop thousands of somalis or haitians in red cities part of affecting the vote?
isn't allowing millions upon millions of immigrants in, with the possibility of granting some amnesty and suddenly you have possibly tens of millions of dem voters shuffled strategically in red states also a strategy to affect the vote?

both parties are doing whatever they can for power. i don't see any difference.
and spare me the "muh trumper" replies. i consider him a fucking idiot.

No, it is not the same at all. In Texas the responsibility of defining congressional districts is held by the state legislature and they are following that legislative process according the law and votes of the members that were duly elected by the voters in Texas to represent them.

In California a voter approved and authorized independent commission holds the responsibility of defining congressional districts not any political body or party, but liberals don't give a fuck about that. Of course the state government isn't getting rid of the voter approved and heavily supported commission, they are just going to ignore it and draw the district lines however they want but promise to restore the commission when they are done in 5 years, no need to bother putting it to vote because they don't even care to pretend they matter.

Imagine if Biden did this what a shitfit maga crybabies would have.

Calling a governor and saying “get me 5 more seats by Gerrymandering”

What a fucking loser.

The entire Trump administration is closer to a Nazi regime ( people laughed when I said that months ago ) J.D Vance even had his secret service threatening citizens in the U.K when he was there ( don’t know if he still is bc he’s literally being Molly whopped there ) going to their doors asking for their IDs and social media profiles if they posted something he didn’t like .

People have severe brain rot if they remotely stand by Trump and the direct He’s desperately trying to move the country .

 

[Deaths Head]

It’s not a Trump admin thing you know that right ? Of course he’s in favor of it , it’s Abbot. What trumps policies are unpopular ?

Can you even name a Trump policy and give a reason why and how it’s beneficial to the country ? Beyond the absurd border control , just give me one that he reversed on any Biden policy that effects the country’s well being and economic standings ?

Let’s actually see if you can do this simple task bc you must know most of them bc you stated to that other poster about Trumps policies not being unpopular, well……..what one do you think is so great ? I bet you’ll struggle and look to find one and then tell someone what POLICIES of Trump ppl don’t like right ? Lol

Of course he is. He even led a failed coup when he lost the last election and was expected to leave office. Then he pardoned cop killing maniacs once he got back in.

I wonder what the plan is to get him to leave office now? He has shown he isn’t going to leave willingly.

I don’t think ppl are much concerned bc his health , mentally and physically isn’t that good . It wouldn’t shock me if his administration has a secret room somewhere and betting odds with each other how much longer he lasts added in how much he’s hated I’m sure there’s also bet on if something forced happens to him by anything outside his control .

I’d be more concerned with eye liner wearing Vance even though he’s a fatty he’s still only 40 or whatever. The entire Lott of them need to be exiled from any top position after this abysmal administration is done. .

Facts.

Our government is becoming more corrupt by the day. Corruptions at levels never imagined.

Thankfully Vance is a charisma black hole. Besides, nobody could be the head of MAGA like Trump is. Nobody else would get passes on stuff like Trump does. He plays by a totally different set of rules than everybody else.

Who are the "cop killing maniacs" he pardoned? And do you have any footage of them having to drag him out of the white house, since according to you, "he's shown he isn't going to leave willingly"?

Its amazing people still hold on to that thoroughly debunked lie.

I mean I guess that's the point of running fake headlines on the front page and retraction in the corner of page 92, or more likely in their case reddit or bluesky posts that just make the fake claim and never retract it at all.

You weren’t “discussing” anything from the get go. You were just going unhinged blue haired insult mode and TDS 5th gear. At least you got that going for you.
