You can’t reform the system if the GOP pass maps preventing you from winning elections in the first place. If TX passes maps eliminating 5 Dem seats, then California eliminating 5 GOP seats would make it a net-zero change.

You can't blame presidential elections on gerrymandering. This is the culmination of a quarter century of left wing myopia.

I’m not talking about presidential elections at all? I’m talking about the House.

Who are you even arguing with? Everyone here voted for Harris. Stop yelling at the imaginary leftists in your head.

yeah. now we gotta stop the fascist cult from locking themselves into power because they've decided anyone who disagrees with donald trump is an enemy of the state and they need to get as much power as possible.

Of course she wouldn’t. But unfortunately, she’s not president and Trump is, so now we have to deal with these redistricting wars (which were probably gonna happen regardless once SCOTUS neglected to ban partisan gerrymandering).

Again, unfortunate, but now we have to deal with it and fight back.

If an authoritarian suspends the law to do harm then saying everyone has to obey the law and accept the harm that is coming to them is absurd.

Per the supreme court, partisan gerrymandering is constitutional.
