State courts may be rescuing NY Dems from their utterly failtastic redistricting process and allow them to try again.
Of course, this being the worst timeline, it feels like an appropriate spot for the new authority to review state court election decisions that SCOTUS asserted for itself in the Allen v. Milligan decision to make its debut.
Why hasnāt anyone sat her down and had a serious conversation with her about how sheās likely tarnishing her legacy irreparably? If she retired even like 5 years ago, sheād go down as a legend. This is sad and honestly gross. Desperately clinging to power with 1 foot in the grave.
I understand thereās probably a fair amount of elder abuse going on here but itās difficult for me to feel bad for her.
I get that there are some procedural reasons not to retire in the middle of the term in a closely-divided senate (GOP can block committee replacements etc), but if she had resigned as the new class elected in november 2022 was coming in, that would all have been avoided, right? Seems like that was a no-brainer.
Itās on her family, Pelosi, Newsom, Cali Dems, Natāl Dems for not having her retire before the last election. Now the rumor is that Pelosi is advising her people not to retire now because Newsom said he would appoint a black woman to replace her. If that woman is Barbara Lee then that would hurt Pelosiās horse Adam Schiff in the 2024 election. I think that her staff, her campaign staff and the consultants that worked on her 2018 election should blackballed from politics. But, the āprogressiveā guy that gave her a good race in 2018 was one of the LA dipshits that got secretly recorded using racist epithets against a colleagueās kids.
Not Schiff? Maybe all the Cali Republicans would vote against Schiff in the general and that would help Porter if they were the two that survived the jungle primary.
Katie porter has wafflecrushed every election sheās been in that Iāve seen. Sheās very popular. I donāt see any way she loses, but maybe Iām naive.
