The Boredwalk Podcast Episode 261: Redistricting Ro-Sham-Bo!

The Boredwalk content team of Ansley Hutchinson, Tess Menzies, and Gabe Sanchez is back to discuss the controversial topic of gerrymandering and its impact on fair elections, particularly focusing on redistricting in the state of Texas. We explore how these practices affect political activism and California news, raising concerns about the future of democracy. Plus, we touch on Texas Governor Greg Abbott's role in these contentious issues and California Governor Gavin Newsom's plans to temporarily gerrymander California in response. We explain why we are voting "yes" on Proposition 50 in November's election in California to authorize this temporary redistricting counteroffensive, chat about Newsom's messaging pivot from squishy podcast host to social media trolling bad-ass, the naive and counter-productive purity testing of the left, Donald's new-found dislike of mail-in voting despite its popularity with his elderly base, as well as his feeble attempts to distract people from continuing to ask about the whereabouts of the Epstein Files. Moving on, we check in with the latest dispatch from Troll-sylvania, where we get to respond to a person who has never left his hometown, let alone his home state, claiming that California is a dystopian hellscape. This is followed by a nice palate cleanser as our hosts wrap up the episode by trading answers to questions pulled from our Delve Deck conversation card sets. This week we answer the questions "what trend do you hope never comes back into fashion?", "if you were a superhero, what would be your version of kryptonite?", and "what did you love as a kid that you still love as an adult?" Thanks for stopping by to hang out, commiserate, and (hopefully) laugh with us!
