how the fuck are you gonna tell a bunch of texas democrats to get out and fight even harder against even more overwhelming gerrymandering when their supposed representatives allowed this to happen by giving up their quorum break? all that performative bullshit at the capitol “uuhh, am i gonna be arrested?” Yeah lady, the court and the congress and their police goons are agreed in their illegal conspiracy to defraud you of your voice and you walked into their fucking hands after they told you what their plan was. She thought, she actually fucking thought she was gonna get something done, raise some sort of alarm or awareness or give the democrats some sort of legal position from which to fight back. And now the maps are passed, because she enabled the use of her position and authority as a pawn for the opposite side instead of refusing to play the game she knew, god and all these witnesses know, is fucking rigged.
It depends on how many of the gerrymandered districts are packed (large Democratic majorities) and how many are cracked (Democratic population centers are split up into multiple districts with small-ish Republican majorities). Cracked districts can be won if Democrats turn out in record numbers. Packed districts just produce more lopsided majorities in favor of the Democratic candidate.
Of course, this gerrymander is only one of the voter suppression tactics that Texas Republicans will use to lower Democratic turnout.
I can’t blame you for wanting hope at all. But… this aint it homie. if your only hope is being proffered by a person who evidently can’t even stick up for themselves, what chance do they have of helping you?
Texas Democrats are still the minority in Texas. Until the Democrats start offering sweeping reforms that pretty much everyone in the country wants, they will get clobbeted in the next election
