Texas Dems are on the lam to stop a fair redistricting plan, and US Senate Dems use filibuster to block court appointments that have majority support.

Taken together, these moves represent a reliance on anti-democratic means of advancing an agenda with which the majority clearly does not agree. So they’re now the Anti-Democratic Party, nothing more and nothing less.

  1. Just wanted to know what your definition of “fair” is. Do you think that leges should redistrict in a non-census year? How about multiple times between censuses? How much negotiating between the party in power and the one out of power should happen in non-census year redistricting? What if one party categorically rejects the position of the other (a la Texas). Since it’s a non-census year, there’s no reason to do the redistricting, and thus the judiciary isn’t going to get involved (if they can)…

  2. These “Anti-Democrats” fail to understand they were elected to “Represent” those that elected them. They can vote no.
    Disappearing like thieves into the night or preventing a nominee from a fair and just vote is not “democratic” it is wrong plain wrong.
    How would they feel if they filed to run for election in their own districts but because a group, even a minority decides they would not like to be represented by them and prevented their name from appearing on the ballot?
    Never allowing anyone to vote for them.
    Is this how the Democratic party works?

  3. Now Y’all know it is only proper for “Democratically controlled legislatures”to redistrict these voting areas. You also should know that only “democrats” know what is right and what is wrong. If you disagree with a “democrat”, you are a right wing wacko (according to Hillary and Billary). If Bush lied about IRAQ (I don’t think he did, I think he was misled)that is bad but Billy Bob telling a lie about having “XXX” with that woman, Ms Lewinski, is perfectly okay since he does not profess to be anything other than a democrat. If you can think rationally, digest information and make clear decisions on your own life and fate, you are anti-democratic since only democrats wait with their hands outstretched for some pittiance to be given to them. They do not have to earn anything, the government will give it to them free of charge.
    And on “Re-distribution of wealth”, a prime Democratic goal, only the monies and wealth of others can be re-distributed, not theirs.
    Where is Robin Hood these days?
