How the #FL09 is changed in the new redistricting map Hispanic areas are carved out and heavily white rural counties are added in. Far less compact, adds to county splits, and takes the district from 50% Hispanic to 36%. Not race neutral, not compact. DeSantis lies #flapol
Mehdi, I genuinely don't understand why you think in this binary way. That in order to be allies with someone on an issue, you have to vouch for that person in their entirety and every policy position they have. No, you just have to be an ally on that issue. Martin Luther King, Jr. became allies with Lyndon Johnson, who was often viciously racist behind the scenes and got countless people killed in Vietnam. Should King have canceled Johnson instead of working with him to pass the Civil Rights Act? If you're house is on fire and someone comes with a hose, you don't ask him about what his policy is on the carried interest loophole, you thank him for the help. If you hadn't noticed, Israel lit our house on fire.
POV: The map for the US House after the 2028 presidential election
Nominating Gillum over Graham in the 2018 Florida governor’s race was a pretty big mistake in retrospect.
Yet we don't have the Voting Rights Act. I guess incrementalism failed after all.
Democrats aren’t joking They’ll nuke the filibuster Then pack the Supreme Court Then award statehood to DC and Puerto Rico, making it unlikely that Republicans will ever win another election for decades Let’s nuke it now and just creat an even playing field
President Biden made a visit to Kyiv in 2023 walking through the city as air raid sirens blared to show America stands with Ukraine. Donald Trump doesn’t have the balls to do the same.
Btw. This is the #FL09 that republicans want to eliminate 50% Hispanic in census. 46% in registration. Independents are largest group. Has voted DEM and GOP in last few years It’s compact. All of Osceola, part of Polk and Orange It is cracked up in the DeSantis plan
