I am all in favor of independent boards establishing voting districts. Go Dems.

Once again my hat is off to Congressman Rankin for his relentless voice for the rights of citizens. And SHAME on those activist racists, the Supremes, who are in lockstep with Project 2025’s playbook.

Please don’t call them the Supremes. There’s only one Supremes. The Motown Supremes.

Stop! In the name of love.

The SCOTUS 6 have destroyed women's rights to control their own bodies and now has raised the Confederate battle flag to put Black people back in "their place". It took 174 years to get some semblance of fair voting rights for Black people. In 61 years they have erased all the blood sweat and tears that it took to get that semblance of voting rights! Along with those things, they are working hard to destroy Due Process, the rule of law and the separation of church and government as they dream of their White Christian Theocracy.

While I can wholeheartedly agree with Raskin's assessment and recommendation, that has to come after. RIGHT NOW we have to fight fire with fire and resdistrict every election at all levels to counteract what the republicans will do. the court has created a free for all and there is nothing to do now but to figth to win for the midterms... THEN more rational responses can prevail. to do otherwise will allow every election and the country to be stolen away by republicans

Here's an idea: let's open up the number of viable political parties from the current 2 to 6 or 7. This would allow for the disbandment of the 2 parties to reform, bringing in some of the Independents and totally realign the political map.

That might work if we had a Parliamentary form of government. It won't work with our system and will only fragment the opposition to authoritarianism.

If you vote for anyone who isn't a Democrat now, you condemn us to Project 2025 for a generation or longer, especially with SCOTUS throwing the Civil Rights Voting Acts out the window. Rs are going to destroy every D district from now on.

At my age, I don't have a generation.

It should be done by independent boards. Politicians need to keep their hands out of our elections. Let the people choose. Also let’s not forget that there is no evidence that the Latino vote is based on party.
