Comment on Stephen Colbert says CBS didn't air Rep. James Talarico interview out of fear of FCC
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 month agoHe’s a white minister. This is how they get rid of a pesky black woman, you gerrymander her out of office.
Be careful what you wish for. She is highly respected nationally, and will have multiple offers from several news organizations very quickly, where she will have a national microphone to attack from. She no longer has to abide by MAGA rules.

You cannot gerrymander a senate seat

The senate is permanently gerrymandered.

Ah, I misunderstood. I thought they were putting two Dems against each other for the same seat. I’ve seen them edge out good, but irritating, Democrats like that before, including one of my favorite old vintage Reps, Dennis Kucinich.

Sounds like they’re both reps and both running for nomination to be the Democratic candidate for the Senate.

Good, I’m glad we won’t lose her in Congress when she loses the Senate seat, either in the primary or the general. Texas won’t let her be a Senator, they’ll rig it first.
