来自一百多年前麻州的共和党前州长,流芳百世啊: early 19th century: from the name of Governor Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts + salamander, from the supposed similarity between a salamander and the shape of a new voting district on a map drawn when he was in office (1812), the creation of which was felt to favor his party; the map (with claws, wings, and fangs added) was published in the Boston Weekly Messenger, with the title The Gerry-Mander .
Walkout是抗议的意思,不是逃离 In labor disputes, a walkout is a labor strike, the act of employees collectively leaving the workplace and withholding labor as an act of protest.
是条汉子
德州是个神奇的地方,估计还要被一大帮华川粉攻击。
算是策略吧
德州要搞gerrymandering,给川普多搞出五个众议院席位,民主党票数不够否决,但是如果民主党议员不投票,这个新法案也不能达到最低票数而通过。所以民主党议员通过出走的方式让这个法案不能通过。
不过我觉得这基本上就是延缓,改变不了结局,寄希望的是让更多的人明白他们在搞什么名堂
顺便科普一下这个gerrymandering是怎么回事
下面这个是2017年法官判非法划区的gerrymandeing,说穿了就是把民主党选民集中的区域强行划为一个选区,这样人为降低其它选区民主党选民的比例,有人说这是今年德州打算再做的事情
我娃高中历史课老师还讲了jerrymandering,忘记了是哪个州,说很多选区形状特别奇怪,就是最后那张图中那样,细长的一条,看了就知道是故意的
walkout的中文是逃离?故意的吧

这是最心塞的,人家阿嫲是自愿的
自己没脑细胞,不用给大家show了。
共和党这么做,是违法的吧,有点太不要脸了。
颠倒是非黑白。自己先犯罪,却定别人的罪。
感觉是他们投票改变不了因为是少数,不投票的话提议通不过因为不够最低票数。

共和党在议会占多数,但所有法案有最低投票人数的要求,叫做Quorum。
比如100个议员是满员。共和党60票,民主党40票。最低投票人数必须80.
如果大家都在,每次投票总是共和党过。但民主党如果人都不在,只有60人,即使60-0,也不过。
