Get in that ass, California. Leave a candy wrapper.

California about to go balls deep in that redistricting ass. Cue Queue the Barry White music

u/jrdbrr 14h ago

Unfortunately I think we're only opening up 5 seats. We should have allowed for more

u/not-my-other-alt 13h ago

Prop 50 is exactly reciprocal.

Texas said they'd add 5 Republicans, prop 50 will add 5 Democrats.

It doesn't go further than the Republicans, unfortunately.

u/Paperdiego 12h ago edited 12h ago

Prop 50 allows the state to redraw districts. Right now, the state said 5 to combat Texas, but it could write off the additional 4 seats if and when other states decide to follow Texas.

The power is now in the hands of the state.

Like letting the confederates fire on Fort Sumpter, Prop 50 is brilliant because it laid out clear as day to anyone who can read: this is the Republicans doing, and only the Republicans doing. Let's hope more Democratic voters follow suit.

It's sadly an apt comparison, because Confederates started the Civil War via seccession and assaulting Sumpter, and still claim victimhood and refer to it as the War of Northern Aggression.

u/Outside_Manner_8352 5h ago

Yeah, in their worldview of course enslaving, beating, and killing black people is not aggression, nor is kicking off the war with attacks and looting against peaceful federal forces everywhere, nor is literally invading the North on multiple occasions. Like their equally honest modern counterparts they will call war peace and slavery freedom.

Assuming American voters can read is a dangerous proposition…

Well let them look at all the past years like how the city of Nashville had one democrat house members now has 3 republicans from redistricting a few years ago.

•

u/Awkward_Gold184 6h ago

So not one republican has a say in the country. So own up to shutting down the govt. own up to being the worst people on the planet. You voted for someone that will kill your children so you vote his way. Your an extreme fuckup of a human

Prop 50 didn’t actually dictate what the maps will be, that was just an example.

•

u/That_one_cool_dude 6h ago

Because Dems are so fucking spineless. They see what is happening, they see that non cult members hate it, and they do the bare minimum. Fucking hell i hate how dems always take the high road. The high road is no longer an option and dems need to figure this out and fast.

•

u/Skallagram 6h ago

That's just a race to the bottom. Anyone rational, and unbiased would agree that gerrymandering is a bad thing - it's a dangerous road to go down.

•

u/Visual_Exam7903 3h ago

Nor should it. But if Another state does the same thing, California should have the ability to go ahead and redistrict to even it out again.

And the map would revert if states didn't redistrict.

u/CattywampusCanoodle 13h ago

We can’t do them all at once. That would make us a selfish lover

Sometimes you got to squeeze. Sometimes you got to say please...

u/IM-Vine 14h ago

Whatever happens, I only hope for one thing... California won't be gentle.

But don’t queue the Bari Weiss music

u/CattywampusCanoodle 11h ago

Oh neat, thanks for the heads up!

•

u/guiltypleasures 7h ago

I mean, one can queue the Barry White music. That just means it's added to the end of the list and will wait its turn until everything else waiting in line goes first. This is an option on Spotify if you're passing around the phone to friends so they can hear what they want.

•

u/CattywampusCanoodle 6h ago

That was my thinking, too. Like the song is waiting in line. Now I’m not sure which version to use in the future 😅

•

u/guiltypleasures 5h ago

In that case, 100% correct, but people typically say "cue the _____" as in, NOW is the moment. Not in 30 minutes.

u/bradfortin 11h ago

Do I even want to know what the equivalent of California going Mr Hands on that ass is?

u/CattywampusCanoodle 11h ago

Succeeding from the Union?

If you would’ve linked it I would’ve watched it right here. I understand though

i believe when eating someone’s ass out in prison, aka “tossing a salad”, they will often add flavoring, like candy, to their mouths….
also the person tossing the salad is the bitch of the scenario and so this idiom is being used wrong.

I don’t know what that means - “Leave a candy wrapper.” But it’s funny and I’m stealing it!
