So...Texas is Down a Few Legislators

Technically even if these states only have 1 seat in the U.S. house of reps, they could still gerrymander their STATE house, though I doubt those Twitter bozos checked this out before running with it.

Quick check of Vermont and they have a decent # of Republicans in their state senate and house even though the state voted 63% for Harris. Looks decidedly NOT gerrymandered - at least on top level #’s (17-13 in Senate, 94-56 in House). Despite their heavy dem lean in the Presidential cycle, they have also had a Republican Governor since 2017.

 

they are heading home to face the music

Texas House Democrats Relent And Head Home

 

This entire "flight to avoid the issue" is seemingly a total failure of the part of the demo-gressives. Just a bunch of wankers.

 

so the people attempting to further gerrymander Texas are somehow not wankers?

 

Your *story* (from Daily Caller) is not accurate. The legislative session is ending on Friday. Gov Abbott will call a 2nd special session to address redistricting.

Texas is prioritizing redistricting, called the Texas First agenda, over passing bills presented in session to assist with flood relief.

Check your *news* sources.

 

OMG- the left complaining about gerrymandering is the most hilariously hypocritical thing ever!

 

I'm sure maga world is counting on the courts to stymie CA and look the other way on TX.

 

Ummm, isn't the lyric Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right? You sign backards.

 

Yeah I noticed that too .. I think it's meant to be a t-shirt which would mean it's correct from the wearer's point of view. Doesn't negate the point that both tribes are cut from the same cloth though

 

Are you really projecting lawfare?!?

Jeez O Pete- it's one pile of hypocrisy after another with the left.

 

Tell me you wouldn't be high fiving fellow maga peeps if the courts stopped CA from doing the same thing TX just did ( it's ok, you can be honest). Besides, the homies on the scotus already gave your orange god immunity. Why stop there?

 

Are you really projecting your hypocrisy on others as an attempt to deflect?

 

100%

 

I wonder if the Republican lawmakers in California will run away to another state like the Texas Democrats have done?

I'm just kidding, they aren't a bunch of pansies like the Dems.

 

A repeat of an old dynamic. Free states and slave states being admitted to the union in an effort to maintain a balance between incompatible systems.
In a different form, here we are again.
