I hate the Gerrymandering wars we are in right now. Gerrymandering was a problem before Trump got into office and needed to be reformed. Now, thanks to this clown, the problems are only getting worse. I get what Virginia Dems did and that had to do it given the current environment we are in. I'm glad it is 10-1 in favor of Dems now. I just think we desperately need national reform on Gerrymandering. Only Dems seem to be interested in that though.

15 years ago blue states like California in good faith set up independent redistricting commissions. Not a single red state did. Democrats cannot unilaterally disarm themselves. Republicans have shot down all attempts at nationwide redistricting commissions. Democrats can't stop here. I'm looking at you New York. If Republicans want a ceasefire, than pass a nationwide redistricting bill.

I get what Mister Salad means. We can bemoan having to do it even as we do it, exactly because it's terrible but we can't unilaterally disarm in the face of it.

I'm starting to lean in favor of multi member districts. Over simplified divide the individual states into 3, 4, 5 districts depending on size and then vote multiple members. Much like the college board of trustee elections or Supreme Court elections in Michigan. If a state is divided 60-40 demographically, the reps in that state should probably fall that way as well

It's not going to happen but our current system as it stands sucks

Dems are now leading the Gerrmandering charge. Dems: "We need to stop this Gerrymandrering once we are done changing all the maps in states we control." They are interested, thats for sure.

Why won't Repubs [haul in

all the persons named in the Epstein files]?

 

They’re cowed?

They’re complicit?

They have no choice but to hope they can somehow stick things out just long enough for the fully-fascist country they’ve spent more than five decades working towards to come to fruition?
