Look, most of the work of state congressional reps is getting pork approved and garnering federal funds for the state. If you cannot understand that and grasp how having representatives in both groups helps the state then I can’t help you. Prop 50 is bad for the state as a whole. It is also undemocratic but let’s not pretend that matters to those involved. Those involved in this who work for the state (people like Gavin) should care about the fate of the state they are supposedly working for more than their own presidential ambitions, no? Especially when that person has little chance of winning at the national level because they do really stupid things like prop 50.

>. If you cannot understand that and grasp how having representatives in both groups helps the state then I can’t help you. So you're fine with one group kowtowing to the other to "help the state", as one group is illegally withholding congressionally allocated funds on their own whim? L et's stop being coy and just say what you really think of the current atmosphere as of late. Are you personally done with Unitary Executive Theory in action? If you approve of that then just say Al instead of pretending that we're in a government that is functioning democratically. >It is also undemocratic but let’s not pretend that matters to those involved. Let's put it in a more extreme way. If war breaks out and we had a ballot to give the president plenary powers until the war concludes l, is that not still democratic if it is voted for? The action weakens democracy, yes. but the power of democracy includes the ability to dismantle it, As long as that is the will of the voters. So I see prop 50 as the exact tools of democracy being used. In this case as a way to recognize that everyone else broke the glass illegally, so people doing it "the right way" vote to break the glass. >Those involved in this who work for the state (people like Gavin) should care about the fate of the state they are supposedly working for more than their own presidential ambitions, no? What do you think the fate of the state is if it doesn't redistricting, given the event described above? You're being very accusational but aren't addressing the fact that the federal government is in fact attacking the state. You haven't actually told me anything bad about prop 50 except that "it's undemocratic" and that you think it's stupid. I address the democratic part. If people want to vote for stupid stuff, that is also democratic. We did so in 2024 nationals.
