So yet more actions they could have taken before trump won but chose not to because ...
California has an indepenent committee that draws the maps. This action will require a statewide vote to temporarily override that committee's maps for this purpose. I don't think the vote would have succeeded before Trump won. Remains to be seen if the vote will succeed now.
California held out hope that America was a representative democracy?
…despite an absolute deluge of evidence to the contrary.
Dude has balls. Let 'em drop!
It's amazing how many Americans seem to have wanted the Democrats to stage a coup to keep the Republicans from staging a coup.
Its not staging a coup, they could implement fair districting or ranked choice voting years ago but it would lead to people being able to support and run on policies that are more socialist then the democrats are allowed by their capitalist owners. See whats happening in NYC now due to ranked choice, that could be across the US but both parties are strongly against it.
Both parties have this issue, its just that for the republicans they decided to embrace the far right instead.
Protecting their nation from falling into the hands of Traitors/ Criminals/Pedophiles/ Rapists/ Racists/ Morons isn't a "coup," it's obeying their paths of office to defend America "against all enemies, foreign and domestic." Those "domestic enemies?" That's MAGA.
