Approval of measure could determine if Republicans keep full control of government in next year’s midterm elections
It was a decisive victory for Democrats in deep-blue California, who had raced to counter a gerrymander in Texas, engineered at the US president’s behest, to carve out new safe Republican districts. The Associated Press declared Proposition 50 had passed almost instantly when polls closed statewide.
In approving the measure, voters chose to toss out the work of California’s independent redistricting commission and temporarily adopt maps drawn by the state legislature to help Democrats pick up five additional seats in the US House of Representatives.
Newsom and Democrats framed the measure as a way to safeguard US democracy from Trump’s “wrecking ball” presidency. By contrast, opponents offered a mixed message, with Republicans alternatively attacking Newsom and praising the work of the independent mapmaking panel.
Ok, so first of all, you american dipshits annoy the crap out of me with your overuse of the word listen. I am reading, you aren’t saying a word to me. Always saying LiStEn like your conversation partner is soem kind of 3 year old. That’s besides the point.
The first sentence of your previous comment said “…I don’t think republicans say it cancels out anything.”. I then told you that is exactly what they were saying when the gerrymandering shit was brought up, if you want to know when I heard it, that was a year ago. Now you’re telling me you meant the democrats don’t say that. You’re inconsistent, possibly in your understanding of what I am saying.
And yes, democrats are canceling out the gerrymandering in Texas with their own in California.
So may I say, you don’t read.
Sorry you don’t like de lingua, buddy. I can adjust that, but your comments weren’t particularly helpful in that regard.
I think you’re taking what I said too literally. Fair, I said it’s not canceling out something, but that refers to an act, as you can imply from the second post, not a group of people, but I do see the confusion.
Personally, I don’t see people and actions as the same, so if you do, then that would be our miscommunication. Does that help, compadre? It’s sorta like a guy stopping fire fighters and another guy stopping that guy and you’re over here going “Wow, can’t believe these two guys are both stopping people.” Does that make sense to someone that acts like a three year old but definitely isn’t?
I’m just gonna ignore the first part of your post, because that seems like we would just have an infinite back and forth.
To use your mental image to reiterate: I was not standing there saying “Wow, I can’t believe these two guys are stopping people.”.
I was standing there, saying to someone else " Hey, they both are stopping people, but are saying they are right."
The appropriate response would have been “Well, one of them is wrong.” and not “Fuck, you’re an arsonist?”.
I can just say it again for clarity if you want. I don’t think you understand what I am after, even though I’ve spelled it out multiple times.
I am also completely perplexed that a person from lemmy.world just called me comrade lmaoo.
Compadre? Compadre is not uncommon here in the States, especially in the South, due to the dialectical intermingling of Spanish. Though it is similar, it has different connotations than comrade, but, you know, I don’t read, so I can’t tell the difference.
Sorry, I don’t know that word, since I’m neither a southern nor an american or from that side of the world, nor am I a native english speaker, so I assumed you spelt comrade wrong.
Highly recommend it. Sounds cool. Sounds like kum-pah-dray. Roll the R. Means companion or friend. Let’s you say howdy and y’all for free.
