“Listen you’re gonna get punched in the face and the only way to stop us from punching you in the face is if you offer a way to punch yourself in the face just as hard.”
you can discriminate based on race if you're doing it for partisan reasons, and not purely out of racial animus

Also they get off on exercising their power in ludicrous ways because fuck you.
Texas clearly did a racial gerrymander, which is illegal.
A district court found that Texas did a racial gerrymander, rejecting the new map because it is illegal.
But the Supreme Court reversed it.
Because? Must assume the gerrymanderers were acting in good faith (despite the evidence otherwise).

Bring the hammer down. As a candidate, and hopefully as a member of Congress, I strongly endorse hammering the living shit out of Republicans until they agree that democracy is important and the shit that's broken is fixed.
People only change their minds when the pain of not changing surpasses the pain of changing. Republicans have to be made to feel extraordinary political pain if they are to say enough, please stop, we’re ready to talk independent redistricting.

It shouldn't matter that the Texas gerrymander might be dead. Democrats have to stay on offense.

I wonder if this person thinks that the Palestinians should accept a negotiated settlement that would have them give up , permanently the West Bank
I think there should have been a negotiated peace as opposed to Bidens policy of opposing putin to the last Ukrainian. I dont think that policy has much to do with supporting the people of Ukraine.

NEW: Democrats will force a Senate vote on a 3-year extension of Affordable Care Act funds
Per Schumer, every Dem will vote YES.
It needs 60. Won't happen. Most Republicans want these Covid-era funds gone.
It'll becomes a 2026 issue when premiums soar.

they took the “facts have a well-known liberal bias” line from the bush era to heart
It's hard to pick from the rogues gallery of murderous ideas, but sometimes I feel the most dangerous thing about modern conservatism is its transparent desire to destroy the fabric of truth in daily life.
Holy shit.

As an activist network, there’s going to be as many goals/visions for the future as there are working groups or people who join (and maybe even more goals than that). My goals in DSA are different than many others. I think the network fruitful (even if the online facet is mostly turrible), but ymmv.
*rubs temple* DSA is not a political party. DSA is an activist network. The reason why DSA fails the “party discipline” standard is because it isn’t one. There are also people w/in DSA, for example, who think the Democratic Party is the only reasonable vehicle for power.
