LK you should seriously consider creating a DSA chapter in your county if it’s too far for you to get to the other one in WI. I can’t imagine it would be that difficult to do so and since you’re in a college town it would be easy to build support l, I feel

evilweasel posted:Yeah that matters, and each of the governor elections kinda matters even if they're all red states for the possibility of a Democrat taking/keeping the seat and being able to veto gerrymanders. But it would not surprise me to find out each of those three states with governor elections has a Republican supermajority that can force a gerrymander through a veto. Kentucky has a supermajority in both chambers (27 R to 11 D in the Senate; 63 R to 36 D in the General Assembly). Maybe McGrath's narrowing of the vote to a coin flip matters here? It could be possible that a Democratic wave could be coming at the local level, but I obviously don't know since I don't live there Louisiana has a supermajority in both chambers (60 R/41 D/3 independents in the legislature; 25 R to 14 D in the Senate). I dunno what can be done here, maybe Louisiana goons can fill in the blanks here? Missisippi has a supermajority in both chambers (33 R to 19 D in the senate; 72 R to 48 D in the legislature). Same thing with Louisiana, as it seems that the Republican majorities are increasing with each election. How do you peel away/disencourage turnout on the Republican side to at least get rid of a supermajority overriding a Dam veto? I think this is the critical question to ask in deep red states, and the answer changes from state to state too.
