TLDR: Trump wants Texas to redistrict so he can pick up 5 seats. All blue states should do the same.

is he suggesting the Democrats actual fight against something....wow, what a radical...Iam sure Schumer and the other old guard will make him be quiet
wannasee
An idea for those here who have the privilege to do so:
You may not vote in republican states/districts, but fElon taught us your money can speak as much as a vote. Call republican reps and let them know you are donating BIPOC socialist democratic candidates in their state/district and across the country.
Bonus points if you offer out of state services to their constituents and can redirect money out of their district and towards politicians who can be more fiscally responsible!!!

Fucking this. I'm so sick of the cAlL yOuR rEpReSeNtAtIvEs shit

If the republicans are gonna gerrymander then every blue state should too. Democratic states are more populous so we’d probably gain the seat advantage.
wobblecopterrrr
they do, everyone had done this shit forever, when it's done too blatantly it ends up in court.

We should also get rid of the senate and any state that doesnt have a population larger than our largest city. Wyoming and Montana arent states, they belong on a list of the largest cities.
Tumescentpie
Montana would be the 10th largest city. And Wyoming doesnt even crack the top 25. Neither of these places deserve a single senator let alone two.

Trump said specifically its to add more red seats. It's very much gerrymandering.
Illinifan88
That type of gerrymandering is currently perfectly legal as long as they don't disenfranchise minority groups. Even then, they'd probably be able to make it last through the '26 election before they're forced to redraw again.
Again, dems have been trying to pass federal
legislation to mandate fair maps at the federal level for a while now. Republicans keep blocking it because they know they'll lose on a level playing field.

Really curious if I'm getting downvoted by republican bots or naive democrats...

NC has the worst gerrymander in the country and SCOTUS said it was fine (at least as I recall). What should be a very purple state has been deep red for way too long because of this bullshit.
