after the census?

There goes the Schumer strategy of letting Krasnov burn it all down and then beat them in the midterms.

Hoping the ACLU or Marc Elias challenges this and maybe Indivisible organizes protests against this, Dems are busy campaigning and texting me for money.

I am honestly hoping that the thousands of young Democrats across the country who are running for office can make a difference. The notion that the youngsters need to wait their turn needs to be scrapped, whoever gets the most votes needs to be supported by all Democrats.
