  • Looks like this is probably going to be on the ballot in Nov.

    Hopefully some other blue states can also grab a seat here and there. This will nullify Texas, but not the other little seats gerrymandering gains around the nation.

  • The real version is even dumber.

  • Trump asked for 5 votes from Texas a month ago.

    In a month CA lawyers / legislators found a creative way around the 2008 / 2010 redistricting laws, they drafted new maps, they found a way around the legislative waiting periods, and they’re about get legislators to vote yes in their last session before Nov.

    Maybe is they really hauled ass they could’ve done this in half a month, but a month is pretty damn fast.

  • To get the maps on the ballot, Democrats repurposed two existing bills rather than introduce new legislation that would trigger the 30-day window

    I’m glad to see they’re fighting dirty. Gloves are off.

  • This is one of those things you find at a university art gallery at the end of a semester.

  • That’s a sweaty head shot.

  • I’d also argue that the bully pulpit doesn’t mean much in this case. Legislators often vote against maps when it doesn’t favor them, and most of the democratic incumbents will be fine after this.

    Also, the legislature doesn’t need to take a stand, the can simply say “I wanted to let the people decide.”

    It’s a super safe vote for the CA legislators. They have little to lose.

  • Redistricting has to go to a public vote in CA, because Californians took the keys from legislators in 2008.

    That said it’s looking like the legislature is going to put in on the ballot this week. The legislature is expected to vote yes.

    It will come down the public in CA, and they have a recent history of passing legislation that tries to stop republicans from fucking with maps.

    I think CA is going to come through. People are fucking pissed.

  • I’ll take that bet.

    The state legislature looks like it will vote yes this week, and redistricting will likely go to the public in 3 months.

    Redistricting is in the hands of the people in CA, so this will all depend on how pissed off people are and or how much disinformation is flying around the state.

  • I’m coming, I’m coming.

  • Also, no reasonable judge would hold Meta liable.

    This is a text book example of a proximate cause argument.

  • Wondering if the two Reddit-tier dipshits

    Says the person bringing Reddit-level negativity to into Lemmy with a 1 day old account.

  • Maybe he’s Hungarian.

  • The vaccine made him European.

  • The big one is poor folks who’s work / childcare needs don’t allow them the time to wait at polling places.

  • I want to know if the settlement forces Newmax to repeatedly tell its viewers that Newmax intentionally lied to them and peddled disinformation in support of a coup.

  • Colt, Gunner, Glockleigh

  • Gen X:

    May I interest you in an Aiden, Braiden, Camden, or something else that ends in a den, don, or dan?
