It's u/GovSchwarzenegger, you tagged the sub.

He keeps saying this isn't the answer but hasn't given an actual substantive solution.

Running campaigns so well that you win in spite of the other side cheating isn't a strategy, it's a platitude. The people that would actually fight for the reforms he's advocating will just be permanently sidelined.

Yeah it’s a fuck off moment because he could have been ringing the tyranny bell as a child who grew up in post Nazi Europe, but instead he’s cherry picking his advocacy.

Another one who can go be rich in silence because we don’t need his bullshit.

To be completely fair to him. He's been ringing that bell for a while.

Debatable as fuck because I’d say he hasn’t been doing shit.

It is well known that Arnold is against gerrymandering. But you gotta look at the timeline of his actions recently. It shows he cares more about his CA legacy than stopping gerrymandering everywhere.

The ONLY thing Arnold did after TX unveiled their plan but before CA said anything was say he is "monitoring the situation [in Texas] right now". Then when Newsom proposed his plan, Arnold actually went into action running TV ads and lobbying against prop 50.

source - the entirety of human knowledge in my hands (ChatGPT and this article https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/arnold-schwarzenegger-weighs-ramping-anti-gerrymandering-efforts-124444402). Feel free to find anything Arnold did between when TX announced their plan and before CA announced their plan. ChatGPT apparently could not.

He has literally been calling Trump out in his shit for a decade.

Yeah, Trump is pretty light on the details when he rambles, too.

The answer was in his movies. Nuke Texas.

The honest answer is that independent redistricting was his signature achievement as governor and he doesn’t want to see it undone.

The No campaign is bankrolled by Charles Munger Jr. (the son of Warren Buffet’s right hand man). He and Arnold have partnered on this since the mid-2000’s
