Another win: juries in Louisiana must unanimously convict people. Non-unanimous juries were disproportionately punishing marginalized people in their systems.

A WIN. THIS MATTERS.


It actually made me nauseous to realize this wasnt already a thing there


Isnt that a constitutional right? How did Louisiana have that?


Wheres it at in the Constitution? I figured it would have to be in the 6th Amendment if it was but I dont see it

Elections at this point are about fighting the tyranny of the minority

Democrats will absolutely get more votes, they might just not get more votes in the specific places they need to


Which is why pickups in all these governorships are so important.

Fixing all of these gerrymandered nightmares will make the 2022+ races much more competitive.


Dems got one! Laura Kelly beats Kris Kobach in Kansas.


I cannot CANNOT believe Kobach won that primary

This may be triggering to the Conservatives in this topic who think any mention of this is bs, but I suspect a smidge of racism is involved.

So are you saying democrats are racist? Cuz if they aren't voting for gillum only cuz he is black but voting for Dems elsewise... They are democrats...

I might agree with your general point but this response does you no favors.

They have morals, theyre just bad morals isnt really a counter argument


that's not what i said.

they have good morals, they just don't realize that the republican party doesn't actually govern in a way that enforces those morals. they're misguided and nothing i say or show them convinces them because they are set in their ways and are sure they know better.

this isn't something to be excused away
