Maybe we should try stuff like boycotts and strikes before. General strikes have a proven success, and so have boycotts, especially when supported by the largest opposition party. Gerrymandering does not have a good track track record that results in actual tangible benefits for the working people.
Gerrymandering seems to be working well for the republicans.
And so does many other things. If Dems win a handful of extra seats because of gerrymandering, that is not a victory though.
It literally is. And democrats already gerrymand. The only difference is that they’d be doing it off schedule. And they’d only do it if the republicans do it off schedule. Stop trying to beat them at soccer when they’re playing football.
Winning election is not victory if it provides no tangible benefits for the working classes. Victories should be measured in human rights, education, health care, minimum wages, mandatory overtime pay, paternity leave, etc.
So you’re an accelerationist? If you can’t have what you want, we should just keep passing more big bullsht bills? I seem to remember someone saying that half a sht sandwich is better than a whole one.
I‘m not an accelerationist. I simply support direct action as a means of improving the lives of the working classes. Gerrymandering is not a proven tactic. Nobodies lives has ever been improved from gerrymandering. Strikes and Boycotts—which Nina Turner supports—have been proven to work in the past
