On Chris Hayes I don't understand Eric Holder

He says if Texas and Ohio redistrict we should sue them but we should not redraw maps in California. I think we have to fight fire with fire.Chris hayes says we could redistrict California if they wanted to to be 52 -0

Right now an independent agency handles California's districts. I suppose it could change that.

It will drag endlessly in court appeal after appeal until a judge says its now too close to the elections to change it back and we are screwed. We have seen this movie play before.

The Senate will ALWAYS be rigged against us.

That is something we cannot change for now. My vote for Senate is one of 27 million voters. A voter in Wyoming, who gets the same number of seats in the Senate, is one out of a possible 296,000. How is that possibly even close to fair?

So we should rig every blue state to shut out republicans... make sure that the House never goes MAGA again.
