…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.

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.
