From Politico, “House Democrats say they tried playing nice. Now the gloves are off. After spending more than a decade pushing for anti-gerrymandering measures and other good-government initiatives, Democratic lawmakers said this week they are gearing up to play political hardball in the wake of stunning court losses on redistricting — potentially for years to come.”
A day late and a dollar short. This is the Democratic Party crying wolf — again. We’ve heard this before, yet nothing significant comes to fruition; if anything does materialize, then it’s half-hearted and poorly thought out. Sorry, but I’m always going to be in the “I’ll believe it when I see it” mode because dumbass Democrats have failed me year after year, blowing every opportunity that emerges.
The article went on to state, “Other House Democrats are calling for new investments in state-level races to support legislators who will commit to redistricting efforts ahead of 2028 and the post-2030 Census redraw. ‘Democrats are going to be moving to do what Republicans did 15 years ago and that is to focus on state legislatures,’ Rep. Kwesi Mfume (D-Md.) said in an interview. The ‘smartest thing to do,’ he added, ‘would be to control the process.’” Wow! Not a day late and a dollar short, but 15 years late. Christ-on-the-m*****f***ing-Cross. This! This is why I say Democrats won’t beat RepubliKKKlans anytime soon in a meaningful and sustained way — not just one election cycle here and there, but for stretches of a couple of decades to fix the problems of America! Fifteen f***ing years and now they are only beginning to apprehend the critical importance of local and state elections. Look, I hate to be Debby Downer, but Democrats can’t grow a politically ruthless spine overnight. It’s simply not in their nature anymore. It was at one time — you know, 90 years ago! But whatever. Welcome to stupid America!
