Honestly here is what I think about the idea that Gavin Newsome might redistrict California if Texas executes a gerrymandering power grab in the middle of an election cycle.

Do the nuclear option now. Don't wait. Do it now.

This kind of tit-for-tat threat doesn't work because there is no downside for Republicans. Either they steal the five seats in Texas now and get away with it, or they steal the five seats on Texas and California counters and they can turn the conversation on how California is stealing seats instead. Both outcomes are good for them.

So take their threat of stealing seats seriously and just pull the pin now. Bullies only understand the language of violence. Hit them hard enough to hurt, and then keep hitting them. Do New York next. Then Illinois. Then Washington and Pennsylvania and New Jersey and Ohio. Keep hitting and hitting and hitting until they understand who holds the power here - WE DO.

There are more of us than there are of them. MAKE them understand that.
