  1. Better than the lunatic freaks that Trump was nominating from the “heritage foundation” list. Correct me if I’m wrong on what that thing was called.
  2. This is nonsense. Biden will get his one and probably only justice this time around. It’s a democrat replacing a democrat so I don’t expect fierce Republican opposition. Especially after trump and the republicans confirmed 3 and literally just stole one of those 3.
  3. I’m guessing the vast majority of Democrats like Joe Manchin again today.
  4. The Supreme Court has stayed out of gerrymandering cases in the past and left them up to the states. I doubt the Supreme Court will pick this one up.
  5. Ohio has a Republican justice who sided with the democrats on the state house and state senate maps. She will almost certainly side with democrats again on the Ohio US house map. The downside is she is supposedly retiring at the end of this year. Ohio has all these rules where if they don’t agree they have to draw a new map but it’s only in effect for 4 years? Would this second map last 10 years or just 4 years? I’m so confused by their rules. The gerrymandering is egregious in both Ohio and North Carolina considering how close their national elections are.
  6. It’s looking like Ohio’s map will be carved back up ( not official yet tho) and North Carolina’s unfortunately might be used in the 2022 election. The NC Supreme Court will hopefully step in and mitigate some of the damage.
  7. This kind of thing would never come up during a “special” session.
  8. Governor cripple can’t do anything until 2023. Texas only has a legislative session every other year.
  9. Unfortunately I think he’s been listening to hot wheels and getting his shots so his case isn’t serious.
  10. You guys are slipping. New Mexico. Maryland.California have all finalized maps recently without the great analysis from folks on here.
  11. I keep anxiously waiting for my Mitch McConnell and Clarence Thomas have passed threads. Might be a long wait.
  12. https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/01/politics/stacey-abrams-georgia-governor-race/index.html Abrams running again for governor of Georgia. It should help Warnock win re-election since Abrams has proven she can get out the vote in Georgia like nobody else can.
  13. Most trumpers are too dumb to know what’s really going on. They just scream MAGA and call it a day.
  14. Any significant updates on redistricting?
  15. Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Mexico will all eventually legalize and most Texans will be able to drive to those states or Mexico and buy product.
  16. It should be legal in all 50 states by 2030 at the latest. However, look up the age and cannabis record of both Pete sessions and John Cornyn. Unfortunately they are both in their 60’s and have kept legalization down in the US house and Senate while representing Texas.
  17. Normally, I’d be celebrating this news, but after what I saw in both Virginia and New Jersey last week, will it even matter? we gotta work on improving this shitty ass political environment first.
  18. More bad news : https://www.syracuse.com/politics/2021/11/see-2021-election-results-for-new-york-state-propositions.html ballot initiatives to make voting easier and make the redistricting process easier in New York were defeated last night. In New York, really? being a democrat can be painful sometimes. I thought those initiatives would pass easily in a deep blue state.
  19. Man…. I don’t know how we could possibly go from an extremely low 4 democrats in that state to maybe just 2? democrats still get about 43-44% of the vote statewide in Ohio. That is ridiculous.
  20. Midterm electorates are typically always older and whiter.
  21. I don’t blame Biden for it personally, but my situational awareness is better than your average person, but most voters are blaming the high gas prices, high grocery / food prices, and supply chain issues on president Biden. I think these problems would be just as bad or most likely even worse if president Trump was still in office and for some reason I doubt he would be blamed for the same shit.
  22. Results tonight are disgusting. all we can really do is do our best in redistricting and hope the virus goes away and the economy improves before people vote next year.
  23. Need that idiot mcauliffe to win because if Youngkin wins, the gop will try to use this playbook in races all over the country.
  24. Hearing Illinois fixed their gerrymander and made it much tougher for the GOP to break thru.
