Redistricting in Texas is prompting Democratic lawmakers to flee the state to halt a vote perceived as a power grab. Jasmine Crockett expressed urgency to preserve democracy, stating it feels precariously close to failure. The proposed map could potentially remove her district, increasing Republican representation. Crockett emphasized the fight represents a struggle for the country’s soul and expressed confidence that history will favor their efforts. She believes Democrats will restore proper governance and strengthen the democratic system once they hold power again.
Right now, all I know is that we've got to do everything we can to save this country because it feels like we're going to hell and it feels like we don't have a way back. Democracy is hanging by a thread... we need to do everything we can in this moment.
Ultimately, the history books will write kindly about us and, well, we'll see what they write about the other side. Once we get the adults in the room to fix things, as Democrats typically do, then we can finally get some guard rails around our democracy and fix the system once and for all.
