"We are not aware of any other case in which a state #legislature — faced w/ a #FederalCourtOrder declaring that its #electoral plan unlawfully dilutes minority votes & requiring a plan that provides an additional opportunity district — responded w/ a plan that the state concedes does not provide that #district,” said US Circuit Judge Stanley Marcus, & US District Judges Anna Manasco & Terry Moorer.

Changing our #electoral system would have required a #constitutional #amendment.

And that is fundamentally impossible today; it has been for at least 20 years, and is likely to remain impossible indefinitely.

So while you can - and I do - #blame #Trudeau for many, many things, this one isn't on him.

Promising to do it in the first place, #knowing it was #impossible, however, was pretty damned #stupid of him.

"DeSantis was the heir apparent, but as I've said along, he is a limp, wet noodle who will wither in the national spotlight. #Trump is the main attraction, and the base belongs to him until he's dead or in prison. That's the reality the #GOP establishment and big, #conservative #money machine doesn't want to admit or acknowledge. Due to a rigged Supreme #Court, the #electoral college, and voter suppression, it is a possibility that Trump could still return to power even if he, yet again, loses the popular vote. For mainstream #media, many are not built for this moment or made for this fight. They, unfortunately, can't adapt or evolve to the changing #political reality where the GOP is no longer a normal political party. They continue to distort #reality with a skewed, "both sides" lens that mainstreams #extremism. Example: ABC #News recently referred to extremist group Moms for Liberty as "joyful warriors" who are "fighting back." Lovely.

It's like Groundhog's Day if it were remade as a #dystopian #horror #movie. No one has learned the lessons of the past 8 years."

I am reminded of this article, which I think lays out a great approach for use that are fed up with the two party system and not representing the working class...

"But the basic idea of the RPA — ongoing independent political organization based on social justice movements with union allies — should be possible everywhere if activists understand that that is what they need to create." https://socialistcall.com/news/how-the-richmond-progressive-alliance-organized-for-victory/ #IPO #IndependentPoliticalOrganizing #Electoral #PreParty #WorkingClass #SocialJustice

Look, the MPs being vocal are the very same ones who voted for #Johnson, supported Johnson and encouraged Johnson. The issue is the #ConservativeParty itself and the #FPTP #Electoral process.

Remove FPTP and The Conservative Party will never win another #Election again. It's that simple.
