Fuck, I hate this timeline.
This is why I say the Democrats need to be aggressive in their gerrymandering to counterbalance. Ideally there would be no gerrymandering at all, but in a system where the Republicans are hiring consultants to systematically gerrymander as many safe seats as possible, it's idiotic for the Dems to not do the same.I agree. The problem is that the dems are spineless and always have been. They've always tried to play the game of taking the moral high ground as if that does anything other than give you a great view of everything as it fucking burns.
The Supreme Court is an illegitimate institution that should be completely ignored
1.The Supreme Court is a complete joke. The credibility of this court is absolutely non-existent.Yeah bro, but wut about her emails.
2.It was very clear that a hard right take over of the Court was probably going to happen if Clinton was not elected in 2016. I know she was a deeply flawed candidate who ran a bad campaign. But the alternative was complete loser Donald Trump and a Party that had already proven itself to be a bad faith entity-especially when it comes to the judiciary. I am worried that our electorate didn't learn from 2016 sufficiently. Because many people were focused on dumb stuff like email serves, we have a Court that is going to make life miserable for America for years to come. Plus an attempted overthrow of the duly elected government, and a cult formed around known loser Donald Trump of all people.

Sounds like it's time for some good ol' malicious compliance
We need to try to pack the fucking courts. Literally most of the Republicans justices should not be there. From them lying on stand to taking bribes.
UK politics are far, far from perfect, but this idea that you have a council of elders who get to make broad stroke decisions about the future of the entire country and those elders are picked by the previous president on partisan grounds...is astonishing
It's dumb. The founders and other early government guys were too optimistic in thinking that everyone would do their jobs in good faith. Or maybe this was their intention all along. Stupid either way.What's so messed up is that they don't even have to hide it when they're making bad faith rulings to serve partisan interests because the only people who have the power to remove them (Congress) are also out to serve partisan interests.

This is the Mirror Universe timeline.
Greg Abbott ignored Scotus every dem state shouldDem states won't have to ignore anything. Republican states are the ones gerrymandering states to hell.

They tried in New York, but the state's courts blocked them, costing Democrats the House in the process.Because it was Republican judges chosen by Cuomo, who then drew a completely partisan map to favor Republicans, splitting Democratic districts to allow Republicans to take control.
Democrats are statistically just as aggressive in gerrymandering they just haven't had as much opportunity to do it.
You got proof to back that up because I highly doubt it.His ass. Most dem states have anti gerrymandering laws in their books.

It's a travesty that there are any House Republicans from CA.
So are we screwed in November due to this?
And if reelected Donnie will probably get to replace 2 of the republican justices with younger shit heads. But, you know.... Biden just doesn't inspire me enough to care about long term consequences.

Technically they said its legal as long as you say youre trying to design a district that increases the number of Republicans instead of disenfanchises minorities.
Sadly I am not joking.
