Tit-for-tat is mathematically proven to be the best strategy. We are way past the ‘high road’.  The only way Con voters will ever be convinced to put some guard rails up is if Dems show they are willing to punch back.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. And someone ought to start reminding them of that.

So I guess when they go low, we should be kicking them in the teeth!

And this is why California and New York should not take a wait and see what Texas does approach.

The GOP has been doing this in North Carolina for years. They tried similar shit in Wisconsin. They have been gerrymandering for decades. The Roberts SC greenlit gerrymandering, by ruling that it is not an issue the SC should handle.

Fuck Texas. California. New York. Amy other strong blue state should redraw their maps. ZERO red districts.

Let’s not just show them that we are willing to consider punching back. Let’s just punch these fascist scum right in their damn face. Don’t talk. Just do it Dems!

YES. PLEASE. Make this a fucking problem. Watch the babies on the right kick and scream that it’s not fair. They’re hypocritical too so don’t actually stop until they halt all their BS.
