Atlanta (AP) – Fight! Fight! Fight!
This is not just Donald Trump’s mantra. When the Republican President forces states to transform the districts of their congress into the advantage of the GS, Democrats have shown that they want to transcend words of resentment and use any power they have to win.
Democrats of the Texas legislator began to postpone it, postponing the Republican efforts to expand most of the state delegation and help to preserve the control of the US Party Party through new districts in time of 2026. For mid -elections.
Then several Democratic governors promised new districts in their states to neutralize the potential benefits of Republican in Washington. Their stall was encouraged by the collection of national funds, media flashes and public demonstrations, including rallies on Saturday throughout the country.
“For anyone who asks, ‘Where are Democrats?’ – Well, here are they,” said US spokesman Jasmine Crocket of Texas, one of several Democrats that could have been removed under the new maps of her state. “For anyone who asks,” Where’s the fight? “
It is not guaranteed that Democrats can prevent reproduction of republicans, just as Democrats on Capitol Hill failed to stop short steps. However, this is a noticeable turn to the party, which honored the usual rules and bypassing the tactics of the tactic.
So far, progressive and institution Democrats are coordinated, connecting what was often fragmentary opposition, as the Republicans, led by Trump, took over the control of the federal government in November. Left leaders say the attitude gives them a more effective way to face it. They can challenge his redistribution with tangible movements, as they also push against Republican tax and expense laws and press the case that he crushes American democracy.
“We gave democrats where they have the power at the state and at the local level to detain that power,” said Maurice Mitchell, who leads the work of a family family on the left side of the main US policy. “This overloaded was talked about the fighters and mainly performative actions to suggest that they were in the fight.”
This time, he said, Democrats “risk protecting all our rights” from “an authoritarian president who understands only the fight”.
Mating fiery conversation with action
Texas made sense for Republicans as a place to start redistribution. They dominate the State House, and Greg Abbott, head of government, is Trump Loyist.
However, when the president’s allies announced a new political map to send five more Republicans to the US Palace, the state Democrats fled Texas, denying the GOP number to carry out a business in legislative activities and approve the re -worked districts.
These lawmakers appeared in Illinois, New York, California and elsewhere, which were joined by governors, senators, state -party chairman, lawmakers and activists of other states. All promised actions. The answer was short.
Govs. Gavin Newsom from California, JB Pritzker from Illinois and Kathy Hochul from New York greeted Texas democrats and promised a retaliatory redistribution. Pritzker mocked Abbott as a pilot who says “yes, sir” to Trump’s orders. Hochulas forgiven Texas Republicans as “laws publications cowboy”. The Newsom Press Service has directed all capses to social media records to a short, imitating its signature brand: “Thank you for your attention to the matter.”
US spokesman Al Green, another Texas Democrat who may have lost his place, called the brief “Egomaniacal”. However, many Democrats also demanded a moral high basis, comparing their cause with civil rights movement.
State spokesman Ramon Romero Jr., using another Texas democrat, President Lyndon Johnson, who in the 1960s “wanted to stand up and fight” for civil rights laws. Then, along with Texas Bravado Romero, he got into the story: “We ask for help, maybe just as they did in Alam Day.”
“No matter what you need”
A recent survey of the Associated Press-Norc Public Affairs Research Center found that about 15% of the Democratic voters themselves described the party using words such as “weak” or “apathetic”. The additional 10% called it “ineffective” or “messy”.
In Beto O’Rourke, the former Texas Congressman, who accumulated money to support Texas Democrats, encouraged the democratic governance of the state’s home to now be redesigned, not to wait for the GOP state to operate. On Friday, California Democrats issued a plan that would give the party an additional five places in the US. The November election will require voter approval.
“Maximize the advantage of the Democratic Party,” O’Rourke said at a recent rally. “You can say to yourself, ‘Well, it’s not a rule.’ There are no links in this game.
Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Ken Martin admitted a shift.
“It’s not your grandfather’s Democratic Party that would bring a pencil to the knife fight,” he said.
Andrew O’Neill, Executive Director of the Progressive Group, contradicted this response with records in the US Senate Cory Booker, DN.J. and the US Democratic leader in New York Hakeem Jeffries, looking for a short and his tax benefit and cost reduction. O’Neill recalled on the left “had hair on the fire,” but “left even more disappointed after that.”
The Trump still secured the reduction of taxes of rich, accelerated deportations and reduced the security network programs, as did some of its controversial candidates have been approved for vocal democratic opposition.
“Now,” said O’Neil, “there is a marriage of some rhetoric we have seen from brief inauguration with some factual actions.”
O’Neilis deliberately looked at the Senate Democratic decision not to remove the Filibber “When our side had a triple”, so the simple majority could make important laws. According to him, Merrick Garland, the Democratic President Joe Biden, was too timid in prosecution of short and highest peers for the Capitol Riot.
2016 Democratic President Barack Obama chose Hardball as the Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, refused to consider the appointment of Obama to the Supreme Court of Garland.
“These unspoken eligibility rules, especially on the democratic side, created conditions” that allowed Trump, Mitchell said.
Fight on all fronts
Even with redistribution, Democrats should ignore their previous efforts of good government and bypass independent commissions that have drawn boundaries in several states, including California.
Party leaders and activists rationalize that broader fighting links individual confrontations that cannot in itself encourage voters.
By claiming that Trump reduces democracy, causing people who are already supporting democrats, O’Neil said. According to him, the GOP “Power Pool”, on the contrary, may be associated with unpopular politics that influences voters’ lives.
Green noted that the Large Law on Trump’s package cleared the Senate with a “voting” and several palace, showing why it was redistributed.
US spokesman Greg Casar from Texas said Democrats should play unconscious, short -term power games to later adopt laws that “prohibit germanmanderizing throughout the country … Prohibits Super PACS (political action committees) and to get rid of the big money and special interests that helped us get to this place.” US spokesman Lloyd Doggett, D-Teksas, added that the democratic majority would have a court summons to the Trump administration.
Meanwhile, US spokeswoman Julie Johnson, D-Tex, said voters grab a bright reality.
“They say, ‘Well, I don’t know. Politics doesn’t influence me,” she said of the voters she meets. “I say, ‘Dear, you do,” if you don’t do politics, politics will do it for you. “
