We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What theyre just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

(4,648 posts)While I have a good deal of respect for Ocasio-Cortez, that sounds like a self-serving statement. It seems to me the redistricting campaigns were independent decisions by Democratic governors. I think Newsom, regardless of what you think about him would have something to say about her framing.
As a side note, Newsom has also thrown the party under the bus with a past statement or two.

(134 posts)Remind everyone at every chance that the Dems have tried to ban partisan gerrymandering, but the repugs have voted it down every time.
To all of our Dem reps, say it Loud, Proud, and Often!
