I am hoping that the democratic voters will unleash their rage at this and get their asses to the polls and vote in record numbers. It kind of feels like our only hope.
It depends on how many of the gerrymandered districts are packed (large Democratic majorities) and how many are cracked (Democratic population centers are split up into multiple districts with small-ish Republican majorities). Cracked districts can be won if Democrats turn out in record numbers. Packed districts just produce more lopsided majorities in favor of the Democratic candidate.
Of course, this gerrymander is only one of the voter suppression tactics that Texas Republicans will use to lower Democratic turnout.
I can’t blame you for wanting hope at all. But… this aint it homie. if your only hope is being proffered by a person who evidently can’t even stick up for themselves, what chance do they have of helping you?
Texas Democrats are still the minority in Texas. Until the Democrats start offering sweeping reforms that pretty much everyone in the country wants, they will get clobbeted in the next election
