President Obama, former AG Holder, PA welcomes your help and support! The 'pubs here have turned our state into a cesspool and it won’t get better until they’re swept from the majority.

We’re here to help and we look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

The good folks of PA

“The push comes amid bipartisan national concern that political gerrymandering, the process of drawing maps that benefit one party over another, has led to partisanship, gridlock and incivility in Washington.”
And the AP’s both siderism strikes again. Holy hell, “bipartisan national concern” “incivility in Washington”?
This is journalistic malpractice, the AP is a joke. Gerrymandering has helped one party substantially over the other, only one party has threatened to impeach PA supreme court judges who ruled their gerrymandered maps illegal. And incivility? I wish the goddamned Democrats in Washington would be a bit more uncivil.

I read about this earlier in the week. It sounds like a great effort to enhance the value of the vote for millions of people. People should be electing politicians. Politicians shouldn’t be selecting their voters.

Now we need to expand the effort in the named 11 states and add additional states to the list.

KENYAN ELECTION INTERFERENCE! SAD!

I’m so glad to see NC on that list. The 'pukes have fucked them up so badly they’re hardly recognizable from even 20 years ago. A friend told me that they want to end tenure at the NC public colleges, fire the professors, even get rid of poorly paid adjunct faculty, and make all instruction based on a student/consumer-driven semester-to-semester contract.

@NCSteve - any truth to that?

Hate to see Rick Nolan announce his retirement today. His district stands a good chance of being flipped without him. Wish he would’ve stuck it out for two more years until he was 75. I can understand his saying it’s time to pass the baton. Hope we can hold onto his seat.

Yes please. We could use a little loving for our House races, too down here. Particularly in my district where we now have 2 candidates in a primary to face off against Gaetz, and neither has the money to fight a primary, let alone deal with Gaetz :fearful:

Still, it will be the first Democratic primary in decades down here.

Yes, and here’s the victimized nazi they were protecting:

Considerable. The center of their ire, however, is an ongoing war on UNC (Chapel Hill), one of the UNC system’s two flagship universities, and on my alma mater the UNC School of Law in particular. And they keep jacking up tuition for in state students to finance their tax cuts, ignoring a specific constitutional provision that education in the UNC system for in-state students is supposed to be “as nearly free” as possible.

When I was at Carolina Law, my tuition was about 700 bucks (though it’s been so long, I can’t remember whether that was per year or per term). Now it’s $23,551(!).

And, worse still, they decided to undercut the school by approving a new law school at UNC Charlotte despite the fact that we already have way too many second tier law schools now, expensively churning out new lawyers for tuitions that they may never be able to pay back the loans on because they may never get legal jobs that pay enough.

So, basically, just like Wisconsin with a few local long-standing grievances of the rural white working class against Chapel Hill mixed in.

A Democratic group backed by former President Barack Obama said this week it plans to invest millions of dollars in state-level elections in 11 states this year, with its heaviest focus on Ohio.

This is what he quietly pledged he would do when he left office. And he is following though with great results. What a refreshing concept. Thank you, sir. And Mr. Holder as well.

I miss you so much, President Obama…your decency, your intellect, your compassion and even your goofy dad humor…often to the point of tears these days. Michigan desperately awaits your efforts to bear fruit.

That is all.
