Nina, I don’t think you understand, we’re asking for the people who are drawing these districts to be thrown in a dark pit. I don’t think “bipartisan legislation” has anything to do with the pit idea.
Heya everybody, bipartisan legislation is over this away…
One day they’ll train the bipartisan legislation to stand up and physically defend democracy. Kind of like how they think the constitution and laws on paper will actually get up and stand in front of criminals, physically barring them from criminaling
Just saw this one and it’s literally a work of art
Allergic to winning
“Oh but I’m so civil and wise I’m going to court and include all opinions” including the ones of Nazis who want people with more melanin than a sheet of loose leaf to be redacted? Fuck’s wrong with you?
bipartisan legislation with who, nina
One side is distinctly advantaged by doing the Bad Thing, and the other is crippled by it. Clearly both sides are equally willing to come together on this issue.
congress passes a lot of bipartisan legislation to give even more money to the zionist entity
The year is 2029 and the GOP Soylent Processing Mills are in operation. Like the sci-fi Soylent Green - it’s being made secretly and turned into food covertly. But unlike the sci-fi version - GOP Soylent is only going to be fed to the poor. It will be part of such things as school lunches and government cheese. The GOP is beyond gleeful.
Unlike the public - Nina Turner knows all of this. But as she’s on the train heading to be converted to a grotesque foodstuff - in a loud voice audible to everybody in the train car she yells out - “It’s still not too late for a bipartisan solutions!” Her outburst was caught on CCTV. The clip - raw and in meme form - trended for many months and was shared with great mirth on ICE’s private social media.
Thinking they would have to hide this is very wishful thinking.
So the democrats want to lose yeah.
Nina does, Newsom and Pritzker don’t.
I think there might be at least 3 Democrats, maybe as many a 5
…Does she mean that we should wait until dems win congress with the new gerrymandered districts, or does she think the republicans in charge will graciously leave power on the table?
I never took her for dumb before. Honestly disappointed.
Actually, looking deeper seems she’s arguing this to a point:
Newscum is using this as a presidential campaigning ploy to draw attention to his counter action as opposed to the original issue and that this needs to be resolved with grassroots pressure as opposed to letting the Dems also further their grip on what power they can maintain via bipartisan activism.
This is stupid in a very different way.
A. This assumes that grassroot activists are heavily interested and able to get a large enough anti gerrymandering protest/strike combo going at a level and sustain it long enough to cause actual harm to the nation. B. That the above wouldn’t be swapped with a massive crackdown that just diverts the issue as the only thing people would be able to focus on is the crackdown. C.That we have the organized capacity setup for these activists and people to do that or can establish it before 2026 D. That a nation, that she has mentioned in the follow ups has been repressively fascist to its minorities before, is a democracy and these institutions are worthy saving E. That even if the institutions are worth saving (not) that they aren’t going to just be bulldozed with fascism anyways making the gerrymandering issue and any resistance to it only temporary until it’s supplanted by something much greater.
And there are like a dozen other things, but we’re getting into the territory of liberalism as opposed to logistical and strategical issues the more I go on so I’ll digress.
Newscum is using this as a presidential campaigning ploy to draw attention to his counter action as opposed to the original issue and that this needs to be resolved with grassroots pressure as opposed to letting the Dems also further their grip on what power they can maintain via bipartisan activism.
it’s clear that this bid is going to fail given the legal hurdles california has enacted to prevent gerrymandering along with the legal challenges that will inevitably halt it before it has a chance to be enacted before the election cycle they’re targeting.
so then, that only leaves the political capital that newsom is going to get from this gamit and it’s already paying dividends on social media before it’s started.
It’s basic poli sci! USE TIT-FOR-TAT! USE TIT-FOR-TAT!
When you’ve studied game theory, but the game was “hi-ho cherry-o”
Oh god she’s comparing this to the Missouri compromise.
The lesson of that wasn’t that you shouldn’t fight! It wasn’t that compromise and bipartisanship was the way to go!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
holy shit
“if you’re being beaten to death you should negotiate with the guys kicking you in the head and hope they agree that they shouldn’t step on your throat”
💫
😖After all they did to her she’s still simping for the party.
Even by the “bipartisan legislation” logic, the Dems can and should do blue redistricting. In order for there to be some kind of reform that ends gerrymandering, you have to demonstrate that it’s a mutually assured destruction situation.
… and even then, the Rs might make the simple calculation that they have more to gain than to lose, and just let it happen in blue states. This is not a system that can easily fix itself.
