My point is Dems should engage in bloody street fighting while still holding on to the principle of democratic integrity.
You can do both.
TX grabs 5 votes, CA counters with 5. NC grabs 3, VA should grab 3.
Its a subtle but important distinction

The 10-1 map should only be 9-2. Let me explain
Dems need to counter GOP gerrymandering w/ its own gerrymandering. Fight fire w/ fire
But Dems can have firepower AND keep integrity, MATCHING Reps in kind. CA matched TX 5 to 5. NC added 3 Rep seats. VA should add 3 seats for a 9-2 map.

I said bring a KNIFE to a knife fight.
knife = knife
TX 5 = CA 5
NC 3 = VA 3
I am 100% in favor of retalitory gerrymandering!
You're missing my point. We should LINK our action with theirs.

No fight fire with fire.
Use matching force, but retain integrity.
You can do both.
CA could have upped the ante with an 8 seat gain, but stopped at 5.
The principle is you are against gerrymandering, but will engage in the practice only as a countermeasure

I remember Bob Dole lambasting Clinton at the 1996 debate for not delivering his promise of universal health care - ignoring the fact that it was Dole's use of the filibuster that killed universal health care.

Minnesota's politics is geographically polarized. The Twin Cities are very progressive, but outside the Metro is MAGA land. Her bipartisan, centrist instincts will serve her state well.

Her Weak on Trump approach is not relevant to running the state.
Under Biden, she's been skillful passing bipartisan legislation. Under Trump, her bipartisan instincts is a weakness. Those bipartisan skills will serve her well as governor.

A hyper-cynic may be equally naive as a hyper-polyanna.
But I will always trust the polyanna over the cynic. The cynic sees his dark view of others as permission to act in a dark manner himself

Trump's tussle w/ Collins was a power game
She understands she needs to always be steely w/Trump
Trump tries to penetrate her guard w/ a shaming personal question disguised as friendly
She doesnt take the bait and ignores the maniputation

FACT CHECK
All of Clinton's 16 rides on Epstein's jet were business trips w/ Clinton Initiative staff on board
In 2002-03 Epstein donated the jet use to the non-profit. Clinton & staff flew btwn Europe, Asia & NA
Never did Clinton fly to the Caribbean. Nor use the jet after the scandal broke

Bill Clinton did NOT spend time on Epstein Island.
He used Epstein's jet 16 times in 2002-03 with his Clinton Initiative staff flying btwn Europe, Asia and N. America on business.
It was Epstein's donation to the non-profit, long before the trafficing scandal broke.
