When Democrats in the New York State Legislature heard that Governor DeSantis had taken control of his state’s redistricting process to redraw the map so that five Democratic congress members would go down to defeat this fall (as they did), they decided two could play that game, and created an aggressive gerrymander to give them five formerly-Republican House seats and become the “saviors of the House majority.”
Well, I will bet the Texas Democratic Party could out screw any pouch. Disarray, disorganized, dis-funded, discombobulated, disassociated, disengaged.. And the chairman just got re elected this summer at the TDP Convention which was, by the way, a GOAT SCREWING! He is underhanded and dishonest and won by cheating. He has done ZERO for Democrats in this state. Notice how Beto had very little to do with them? Seriously, they act like Republicans. I am left wondering...is there any difference? Move along America, nothing to see here in the grand old Lone Star State. It’s a dumpster fire. The GOP has gerrymandering and voter suppression down to a science. Let’s hope other states don’t look over here for some tips. Not one fucking thing changed here during this election. Greg FUCKING Abbott got 4 more miserable years. I am sick and hopeless, but at least I have a GENERATOR!! Sorry for the rant
Three things: First: boy, did we ever fuck the pooch; Second: one of the dipsticks elected to the House is the former Dutchess County Executive, Marcus Molinaro, a man whose lake of IQ points can be skated on, year-round (he comes to Washington complete with his educational credentials—a 2 year degree in political science from Dutchess Community College glistening in the sunshine); third: the execrable Elise Stefanik won her 5th term in the House.
This is disturbingly infuriating. You know, I was listening to Professor Richardson’s talk from June 30 of this year. It’s on YouTube, if you care to listen to it. She explains clearly how we got here and who the “Originalists” are... without the backstory, which I’ve never seen laid out so succinctly as she managed, we’re just going to continue to flail. She does offer suggestions, but... sadly, my faith in the democrats is tanking. There’s cause to revise states rights, but it won’t happen with 5 of 9 SC judges being Originalists. We have to expand the court. And ... we have two years. How?
You're right about New York TAFM readers, of which I am one. I, and I'm quite certain many others, are royally pissed at the stupidity of our NY Dem Party! Thanks for seeing that we're not all fools!
Having been born and raised for the
near first quarter century of my life in upstate NY, I have been appalled
at the latest dumb moves of my fellow Democrats in my home state.
Being a military wife, I got to move
move around a lot. I learned a lot too, especially from our southern
adventures. Upstate had always been a safe harbor...going home.
I know things change. People and
times change, but you don't have
to play around with lines on maps
in either NY, FL, AL or any other
effing state to totally disenfranchise
your electorate. And yes, it will come down the pike for DeSantis
and what's her name in Alabama.
Karma is a bitch.

Please, don't get up...I'll see myself out.
Get some sleep. You’re going to need energy to keep up the fight.
Screwed the pouch indeed. Several times over.
You have a great way with words!!
That's why it's the LAW of unintended consequences, not just a footnote that sometimes things happen that aren't planned for.

Yes---Dim Democrats. And what a stupid, stupid move. And what a price the nation pays for that.
