    To get the maps on the ballot, Democrats repurposed two existing bills rather than introduce new legislation that would trigger the 30-day window

    I’m glad to see they’re fighting dirty. Gloves are off.

      Fucking finally. Dems always pull the “we won’t stoop to their level” BS all the time, and all it ends up doing is letting the right slowly seize more and more power.

      I hope this will become a growing trend, but sadly I’m not very optimistic given how the party has acted prior to this.

        Ratchet Effect.

        It feels like the Democratic Party is designed on purpose to interact in this way. But that would be a conspiracy theory, right?

        Neoliberalism. Both parties pray to the same neoliberal god.
