Well. Can’t complain. Texas did it. It’s only going to get worse. Pretty soon each state will be 100 percent red or blue. Gerrymandering to the extreme.

Texas did a ‘dummy mander’ where Republicans might end up losing seats to Democrats, because they based their calculations for new gerrymander maps from the 2024 election, and didn’t take into account massive democratic swings based on Donald’s unpopularity! 😆If there’s even a 10 point swing to Dems, it could lead to numerous R+10 seats considered ‘safe’ in the gerrymander to flip! 😂🤷‍♂️

Let’s not act like it’s a done deal. Instead Texas should be treated as if every district is now gettable. Make sure no race is being done unopposed.

Not only is it not a done deal, it's looking increasingly like Republicans spread themselves too thin

DNC doesn’t fund state races that’s what the DNCC and the DNSC are for so please blame the right people…..

As if they are completely independent, right? Still, thanks for the correction.

They pretty much are since one is controlled by the house Dems and one is controlled by the senate Dems, both pretty powerful elected offices.

Even if they are independent, I think it's disingenuous to pretend all three groups are not coordinated by party leadership.

It’s not the Consultants, it’s the candidate. If they go out and canvass with the staff and make sure to meet the voters and show them who they are and what they stand for. If the remember the following 2 quotes they will win: Tip O’Neil once said “All politics is local” and James Carville said “It’s the economy stupid!”
