PSA for our friends in Missouri

Guardrails of Democracy @demguardrails.bsky.social · 3d

MO & OH Dems need us to help Rally support!

A commissioned poll shows nearly 1/2 of MO voters oppose the maps

The Dem committee needs over 100,000 valid signatures across multiple congressional districts before the state’s 90-day window expires on Dec. 11 to let voters decide on the maps.

Missouri Democrats have an opportunity to block a new congressional map. They say they’re largely on their own.

Despite relatively little investment from Washington, Missouri and Ohio Democrats are looking to block new Republican-drawn maps through uncertain avenues.

Never underestimate the value of humiliating fascists. Fascism is all about ego and aesthetics. It forms their power base. Sully their image and they lose support (it's why the regime is currently floundering and lashing out so hard), which makes them lose power.

Keep fucking with them.
