Kind of funny we are still waiting for the examples of Democrats doing this.

Abolish the Senate. I'm serious.Demographics alone won't fix a 52% vote getting only 1/3 of the seats any time soon. What needs to change is banning politicains from making the maps and making gerrymandering illegal and enforceable in a real way. I am sure the USSC will side with the GOP in all of these cases.
I looked through the list of proposed legislation, it really didn't look that bad.

Of the 140 pages of lame duck legislation being sent to the governor, the only one Republicans actually campaigned on was protecting pre-existing conditions. It did not pass.
As a lifelong citizen of Wisconsin, fuck you. This proposed legislation will have horrible repercussions on my state going forward.
They put more effort into working last night to ram this shit through than they have in all their years in office

Explain to me how a single item in that list doesn't "look that bad"
It wasn't dementia that caused the Democrats to get only 36% of the statehouse seats with 53% of the vote. It was blatant Republican corruption. Which you support.No, I think we need two healthy parties and do hope the Democrats can come back to good health. Right now they're suffering from dementia.

Scorched earth.....
SMH
I expect the republicans in the KY legislature to do the same if the asshat matt bevin is voted out next year (which I'm not entirely sure he will giving the voting record of this state).
Just remember, what comes around - goes around - and the repubs have no right to bitch about any of it considering what they are doing.

They’ve passed a series of bills in a lame-duck session that amount to nothing less than a brazen partisan power grab, taking responsibilities away from the governor and attorney general and giving them to the heavily gerrymandered Wisconsin Legislature. Walker is expected to sign them in the coming days.
On Tuesday, they also approved 82 Walker appointees to serve across the state government. That’s 82 confirmations in one day, just weeks before a new governor, of a different political party, is set to take office. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has the full list of these appointees here.
The appointees include two members of the board that oversees the state’s public universities. One of those positions has been vacant for more than a year, but Walker just nominated his choice this week. He also made one of his top aides, Ellen Nowak, who is currently Department of Administration secretary, the new head of the state Public Service Commission.

If it were not apparent already state politicians should be stripped of their power to map districts. Go to non-partisan drawn maps that don't allow these wild (intentionally undemocratic) gaps between the popular vote and seats won.
For those that long for a return to civil discourse that loathe to see the direction our country is headed? Yeah, kinda.This stuff never works and will backfire.
Democrats need to understand that republicans play nasty. They always have.
God forbid Richard Nixon should be in power with todays republican congress.
Old tricky dick would never have resigned, or needed to.
Democrats "could" play nasty too. And it looks like that may be their only option.
And soon enough we will be like the Brits, with fist fighting in parliament.
It won't matter about ones political background or fresh ideas as a candidate, all that will matter is can he or she throw a hard right punch.
And with the uptick in electing women into office, we might see a lot of hair pulling and cat fights.
Hmmmm. Is this necessarily a bad thing?![]()
