Adding to @polphilpod.bsky.social's argument about the Reform Party as a fundamentally corrupt party: As @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com and I got into on @liberalcurrents.com pod, corruption is intrinsic to right wing populism's friend/enemy politics. We hit that here:

Crucial point from @ariberman.bsky.social on the pod: Dems have already tried leading by example as a way to try to entice Rs to deescalate the hardball. It failed. Time to try something else: Dems must now engage in redistricting Total War.

The court buried itself in dictionaries and missed the obvious.
I asked Virginia State Senate leader Scott Surovell why Republicans always seem to find a way around such procedural obstacles whereas Dems are so often stymied by them.
