I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Well, maybe not assassinate.

In the Buffalo mayor's race last year, where the dem primary is the election, the multi term machine pol incumbent mayor didn't even bother campaigning, and lost the primary to a progressive challenger, because many/most of the city's residents are living in poverty while the mayor gladhands developers and gets rich people to move into new developments where the factories used to be.

The person who won the primary is not currently the mayor because the entire machine and all of the money in town ran a write in campaign for the machine pol mayor who then won the election as a write in.

I don't think this is exactly analogous here because The Money can't want these far right jagoffs over a nice grandpa republican in a suit, but there is recent prescident for shenanigans.

And they do their damndest to keep it that way. Much of American history is keeping Cletus and Jerome from figuring out they have more in common with each other than with any of the politicians they support or bosses that pay them.

Which, by the way, I understand deep in my heart, but its still difficult as hell for me to make common cause with Cletus because of the Lets Go Brandon and Trump 2024 flags, and the casual homophobia and racism that is the core of his existence. The right's multi-generational propaganda effort has so thoroughly broken so many brains.

An example of both things at once: NY State democrats passed and enacted a gerrymander, but it got overturned by the state supreme court. The State SC appointed a special master to create a map and it really shredded the current lines - it's a good map in a competitive environment, but brutal in a red wave.

So now, the incumbents are desperate to keep their seats and really don't give a gently caress about actual House control, including the guy responsible for... ensuring House control:

The same thing happened in VA, more or less. The VA GOP got a question on the 2020 ballot that was worded in such a way that idiots thought it sounded "fair" and in so doing, reversed the (then) Democratically-controlled statehouse and senate from being able to unilaterally redistrict the entirety of VA. It was clearly marked on Democratic sample ballots to vote "NO" to it, but DURR A BIPARTISAN COMMISSION SOUNDS FAIR: https://ballotpedia.org/Virginia_Question_1,_Redistricting_Commission_Amendment_(2020)

What happened, you might ask?

A year and a half of dithering and deadlock, giving the GOP time to take back the statehouse (and governor's mansion, but that was more on McAuliffe for running Hillary's loving 2016 playbook page-for-page)...because the districts hadn't been redrawn at that point. Because the ~BIPARTISAN COMMISSION~ couldn't reach a consensus, the VA Supreme Court got to redraw the lines: https://ballotpedia.org/Redistricting_in_Virginia_after_the_2020_census

Every man likes a pretty girl with him at a skeleton dance.
In Florida the redrawn districts have been thrown out because DeSantis wasn’t happy with a +4 edge it had to be a +6 edge and eliminated a district drawn to ensure North Florida Black folk can elect a rep of their choosing under the guise that the existing district violated the civil rights act by drawing the district along racial lines and creating a majority-minority district was in fact illegal.

So instead the current working map takes the old districts for north Florida and shoves the revised districts from central and south Florida. Into this weird Frankenstein map. Which impacts my neighborhood by moving from a Dem +6 to a Republican +20 district. Thanks!
