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.
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.
