California Just Gave Their Redistricting Bill A Very, Very Good Name

Let's recap how we got here: So, Gavin Newsom asked Trump to stop Texas from redistricting.

Today, he announced he would be going through with that redistricting.




And now, we've got a name for it.

It's the "Election Rigging Response Act."

Even with the title a lot of people are going to think it's wrong.

The thing about dems is unlike them we have a conscious, want to do the fair thing, and are law abiding.

A line was crossed on 1/6/21 & many of us think the dem response has been slow & weak. I'm at the point I hardly care what we do to wrest control out of these hateful people's hands.

Just Texas vs California we still loose seats. Unless we get turnout and Texas counts the votes honestly.

As they were already gerrymandered so there is limits to how much the GOP can pick up with out facing some tight races. Maybe this will expand the amount of swing districts some?

I don't know why it's taken so long to get that this is the kind of language that motivates people - and this is true, as opposed to the lies that are turned into slogans and clever messaging by Repukes.

Of course I fully expect the corrupt department of justice to fabricate some bullshit so they can indict Gavin Newsom for some reason.

It’s coming believe it😡😡

But before we completely lose the entire country and everything in it, I say LETS GO!

Incredible. Took us long enough to figure out how to fight this asshole. You kick him in his tiny dick, and say what the media is scared to. Dare him to sue you repeatedly. I would donate daily for someone like that.

Unless there is a law or if the State Constitution doesn't allow that.
