1. El Modelo Democrático de California y la Prop 50.
California es presentada como un ejemplo de democracia en acción, donde la redistribución de distritos fue sometida a la voluntad popular mediante una votación (Prop 50) y previamente a través de una comisión independiente. Esta acción es vista como una defensa contra las tácticas de manipulación electoral de los estados controlados por el Partido Republicano (GOP).
- California please help our country by voting the new districts! we respect the way the voters have been consulted and will ultimately decide the matter- that is democracy.
- The people are voting in california to decide.we also voted for an independent redistricting committee prior.
- Californias congressional map was on the ballot. The people voted.
- Due to democrats in california holding a vote for proposition 50 which allowed the temporary redistricting in california. The people overwhelmingly voted yes! it was done legally and with democracy unlike texas which forced it on the citizens. Thats not democracy, it autocracy and its illegal.
2. La Manipulación Partidista en Texas y la Reacción Judicial.
Texas es el principal foco de crítica por su proceso de redistribución, impulsado por el gobernador Abbott y Donald Trump, con el objetivo de diluir el poder de voto de las minorías y los demócratas. Sin embargo, estos intentos han enfrentado rechazo judicial, siendo calificados como un intento de gerrymandering racial.
- Texas gov abbott cowed his legislature to overnight draw up gop maps taking power away from people of color and democrats.
- The justice dept. Needs to block texas from redistricting first! then they can talk about california.
- Breaking texas attempt to gratify trump add 5 congress seats to sway 2026 midterms was just rejected by a judge because texas had executed a racial gerrymander, illegally stealing legit earned seats from people of color.
- The we the people part of any redistricting seems to be something these texass boobs have left out of the equation. At least california let the people decide.
- The people of texas, who didnt get do vote on this? are they just ignoring this importa-- well yes of course they are.
3. El Poder de la Gente frente a la Geografía.
Un tema recurrente es la distinción entre la representación basada en la población (personas) y la representación basada en la extensión territorial (tierra). Los críticos señalan que el gerrymandering y el sistema electoral actual (como el Senado) otorgan un poder desproporcionado a áreas rurales menos pobladas, a menudo en detrimento de la voluntad de la mayoría.
- Land doesnt vote, people do. This map is bullshit and misdirection.
- A gentle reminder to all republicans that land doesnt vote and there are more people in los angeles county than every state except for six of them.
- I find it so dumb that trump gop and the maga cult dont understand that land does not vote. There are more people in those small blue areas than in the farm fields.
- Voter suppression and gerrymandering are despicable tactics which represent a desperate attempt by a minority party to retain power, as their policies - and leaders - become more and more unpopular with the american people.
- Can we please stop assuming all people in red run states are voting red, we arent. We are gerrymandered to hell and back.
