Clyburn to Republicans: "Be very careful what you pray for, because what I do believe is that when they finish with the redistricting, there will be the possibility of at least three Democrats getting elected here in South Carolina to the US Congress."

If every single black person of voting age together with honest white folk get out a vote, splitting the district into three would give TN three instead of one black rep. That would be at least poetic justice.

I live in the Lake Nona region of Orlando in #FL9 / #FL09, represented by @repdarrensoto.bsky.social (D). If the new lines aren't rejected by the courts, our district was drawn to vote R. But Congressman Soto is still going to run here. It will be a tougher race for sure. But he can still win it.

I definitely think that Republicans are underestimating how pissed off their constituents are. Now it’s being thrown in their faces that they’re so pathetic that they can’t possibly win without pulling some racist BS like this.

The real question is, if Democrats still manage to win, what are they going to do about all this? Virginia Democrats have already announced they’re folding after their Supreme Court literally tossed out an election result…this is dictator shit. What’s the plan?

Here’s to people, regardless of party, getting fed up with GOP shenanigans to control and steal elections. My own father, a republican, didn’t believe me about gerrymandering until I showed him the map of Ohio voting districts. “That’s not right!” “We agree on something Dad!”

It would be funny if the end result of this is they dummymander half the states. If it’s 5 or 6 dollar gas by early voting, Republicans are going to start at -20 from their normal expected results.

They should all be redistricting ASAP by any means necessary but they won't. A bunch of spent old rich men. They won't fight for us because they benefit from the statid quo

Don’t tell them. Just do it Blacks were on the bench watching Latinos self immolate. Now they gotta dust off the civil rights level organization to get out the vote

It's a slim, likely false, hope I hold onto. In their rush to redistrict and gerrymander, the Republicans miscalculate and end up redistricting things in a way that hurts them more than helps them. Really depends on how wide the victory margins were in previous districts.

We need federal standards for federal elected positions proscribing the ratio of voting booths and precincts, fair redistricting rules, qualification civics tests before you can run, etc. It is shameful that it is so easy to vote in one state and a nightmare in others. These positions affect us all.

I think this is the election we need the biggest turnout in history of our party. If we all get off our butts and vote there is no way MAGA can win all the seats they think they just stole. But we must win this year, not sit around waiting to see what happens in 2028.

This is my dream: By redistricting, the Republicans weaken some of their “safe” seats and they lose them with a shift toward the Democrats, whereas they would have kept them if they left the districts alone.

There’s also a distinct possibility that voters simply vote against the regime. Good enough vs Evil could show the gop the door in big numbers. People are exhausted by the Shit Show the country has become.

Democrats need to prepare for a war in the courts against Republican judges. Democrats need to prepare for a lawless party that is ready to ignore the will of the people and the results of elections.

I am confident this will happen in more states like Florida and Texas. They have lost all touch with their base. And if the American kind of humanity still is aware. The GoP should lose 25-50% of it's base. I can not phatom the fact that 45% of the americans would be racist.... AND stupid...

The entire GOP theory of the game is ALL of their 2024 voters will stick with them again this year If that's not true, many (not all, but many) of these Genius Gerrymanders Will turn out to be Dummymanders In a Blue Tsunami year 🌊🌊🌊🌊 Texas being Exhibit A So let's DO. THE. WORK. 🗳️

* Register voters * Support progressive Democrats starting right now - the old election calendar is toast - get involved now * Volunteer to work the polls * Join a resistance group - prepare to protect polling sites * TALK TO PEOPLE about the importance of voting * VOTE EARLY 🗳️ 📬 LFG 🌊🌊🌊

Dude has been in leadership for years and has helped oversee the destruction of democracy, and the Democratic Party’s popularity plummet to the lowest it’s ever been. He’s in denial. Sloppy, senile, corrupt. We need new leaders.

Gosh I hope he's right. I'm really trying to remember that in these states that they're redrawing for more gop advantage -- the liberals aren't vanishing. They're being dilluted but enough of a wave and it could backfire. We're going to need a lot of on the ground GOTV volunteers this year tho.

If majority black districts must be dissolved to comply with the supreme court's decision, then so must majority white districts.

In Alabama most seats just go uncontested, year after year, from one R to another R. It’s pretty depressing. I can count on two hands the opportunities I have had to vote for anyone other than a republican during any given election.
