Keep Calm And Nuance On The case for playing chess while everyone else plays checkers. Michelle H. Davis Aug 14, 2025 The biggest problem with modern politics is that no one understands nuance. A whole bunch of folks on social media are blabbing about how Texas Democrats “caved” or “gave in,” or some of the worst coming from blue state communists, who, honestly, need to shut the fuck up and go back to reading theory. All the doomerism and nihilism make me want to puke. Anyone who is talking like that is wrong on so many levels, and I’ll explain why. Texas Democrats were never going to stop these maps completely. That was never the goal. A quorum break is essentially the same type of procedural tool as a filibuster. A filibuster can’t last forever, nor can a quorum break. Texas Democrats are solely responsible for pushing California Democrats to redraw their maps. Those blue state liberals never had it in them before Texas Democrats, the most anti-fascist Democrats in America, brought national attention to how serious this COLD CIVIL WAR is, and showed them how to fight back. They should be thanked for that...... lonestarleft.com
