8. Don Davis...

Was my representative until this year. Why? Because the Reichwing bastards in Raleigh redid all the districts to eliminate a bunch of Democrats. Davis’s old district was fairly blue. As a result of the gerrymandering, his new district has a PVI of R+1. He has to be a bit more careful about charges issues as a result.

Davis (not that this should matter, but it does) is Black, and a decent guy. He’s nothing like Byron Donalds or (In)Justice Clarence “Uncle Slappy” Thomas.

I don’t like the vote, but I understand it. I’d rather have him still in Congress because he voted differently to keep his seat, than see a Repuke in it who won’t vote for anything I believe in. Perfect is the enemy of the good.
