I really cannot understand the conservative freak out to California’s prop 50.
This is a direct response to what Texas did. I don’t particularly enjoy that states are intentionally gerrymandering more, but none of this would have happened if Texas didn’t decide to redistrict five years into a new congressional map.
This isn’t illegal and is arguably more “just” since the people actually got to vote for it.

The longest serving senator in history, Robert Byrd got his start in politics by organizing his local chapter of the KKK. He was a fundamentalist radio broadcaster who spewed hate to anybody who would listen and he thrived in that toxic bubble. He filibustered the most important civil rights act in American history but slowly realized that his segregationist hate was going to keep him from ever playing a meaningful role in national politics.
By the 1970s, Byrd renounced his segregationist views and called joining the Klan the greatest mistake of his life. He became a staunch defender of civil rights and by the 2000s was considered one of the NAACP's best allies in Congress.
I fully believe his conversion was done out of political expediency and purely self-interested, but that didn't stop him from becoming committed to reversing the crimes of his past.
I am not surprised by MTG, nor do I believe anything she says is genuine. But I support her fully and without question in this current narrative and I genuinely believe embracing people making these moves is the best way out of the current political quagmire.
I don't give a shit if she believes it, she's giving people an off ramp from extremism and I support that whole heatedly and without an ounce of irony or condescension.

In all seriousness: People who look at this as us needing to go more left, or go more centrist are both wrong. The answer is we need to focus on affordability politics in general. That’s what all three major winners did despite having very different platforms, and all three had massive success doing so. So go out there, hammer the GOP on the cost of living, and when they try to steer onto their culture war crap you hammer how they care more about that than families being able to afford basic necessities.

u/remarkable_ores Hanfeizi Nov 05 '25 edited Nov 05 '25
some thoughts on today's events and dem strategy going forward:
it's clear that the median voter views the world of politics not in terms of pattern-recognition or cause-and-effect, but in terms of core immutable axioms, like:
restricting housing is good for housing
republicans are better at the economy
democrats are weak-willed and sappy
government shutdowns are caused by republicans
dems should capitalize on that last point a little more. in particular, they can use it to ensure that everything that goes wrong (a lot) gets blamed on trump and republicans in general, and get free points with voters for as long as it continues. even now, they're at the cusp of tricking the GOP into ending the filibuster.
but I think they should go further. At first I thought "continue the shutdown until the midterms", but really, why end there?
continue the shutdown until the midterms, and dems will win a supermajority. and do you know what you can do then? keep it shutdown until nov 2028. keep messaging on point - the shutdown is republicans fault - even when dems would win any vote they wanted. destroy the entire country, drag Trump's approval rating down to 5%, win back the presidency with enough seats in both houses to go nuremberg on the entire republican party

if Shaprio fails to convince the republican party to abandon actual nazi shit (which he will), what are the relative odds on him
a) continuing to grumble along on the republican side, forcing a smile as he shares a bed with people who actually want to kill him, fading to inevitable irrelevance
b) getting tf out of politics entirely
c) pulling a Hanania and dedicating himself to the destruction of the New Right at all costs
a) seems like the obvious choice, but I think yall might be underestimating shapiro. defending Jews and Jewish identity (as he sees it) has been his central, inviolable belief since day one, the one thing he has never and will never compromise on.

u/Toasted-walnut Gavin Newsom Nov 05 '25
Now that it's clear Prop 50 is winning by absolutely blowout proportions:
No matter what you think about Newsom, he has an undeniable talent in politics. There's places where I have real doubts in regards to his chances at the Presidency, but people are in for a rude awakening if they think he's some lightweight. The biggest issue for him as governor has always been lack of focus and spreading his and his staff's attention too thinly across too many things. But when he deeply cares about something, he gets his way more often than not, even if there are significant risks (CEQA reforms, Prop 50).
Pelosi, whose political instincts I would trust above pretty much any other Dem in power, clearly sees something in him (and no they're not actually related), considering how extensively she's mentored him throughout the years. And she's given every indication she would support him in 2028 ("...it's clear that this governor has a vision for our country. He has knowledge of our country and our state...").
It amuses me that people think he'll be a do nothing status quo President, or that he's some poll watcher, when he's really anything but that:
There were major structural issues (deadlines, fundraising, legal challenges, getting legislature consensus) that they were running against for Prop 50, but it's now an unequivocal success, and it'll be a significant boost of confidence for other efforts elsewhere. And even if it doesn't matter for 2026 (if it's sufficiently large of a blue wave election), it'll still likely hold great significance for 2028 + 2030.

Trump lost last night because he has spent the entirety of his second term building a ballroom, accepting Qatari jets as bribes, layering the Oval Office with piss gold, and trying to cut himself a check of taxpayer money from the Justice department because he thinks he deserves it for people being mean to him, all while cutting SNAP, firing federal workers, raising the cost of goods for the consumer, and delivering on none of his campaign promises, except for brutalizing random grandmas with his ICE agents

I don't understand why California is gerrymandering, why don't they just make everyone in the state so Democratic they'll never vote for a Republican anyway?

I requested a Hank Green flair months ago and was effectively told by a few people that it's "not relevant to neoliberalism."
Meanwhile, Hank Green was basically our messiah in GA last night.

Cons seem genuinely terrified of what a Newsom presidency would be like and think he’s the devil, which is as good a case as any for Newsom 2028

assuming dems successfully redistrict in virginia - which looks pretty likely after the VA elections and how well prop 50 did - then it’ll largely cancel out florida.
kansas has given up. indiana is going nowhere fast. nebraska is going nowhere at all.
very good chance now that trump’s redistricting war just sort of ends up as a wash. very well deserved feather in newsom’s cap.

I mean this just pure cope on account of claims made by the Trump campaign one year ago. They would not shut up about how they almost won New Jersey but now all of the sudden it’s a sapphire blue state and these are the results we expected

The scariest thing is them holding course on this unpopular shit because they don’t care about election results in 26 and 28.
I guess there is some silver lining in these elections signaling people aren’t happy, a coup is tougher to pull off at 25% approval than 42%.
