Thats exactly the point being made. Dems have disarmed and allowed the other side to rub rampant. Yes, we know this is a terrible system, but unless it's the same everywhere it is implicitly beneficial to one side. Only one side wants to be in a democracy.
They already do. What do we do except match them seat for seat until they back down?
Yes, gerrymandering needs to go away, but *until it does*, Democrats need to use it just as ruthlessly as Republicans already are doing.
Democrats have sponsored federal bills to end gerrymandering but Republicans block them. A truce requires *both* parties’ agreement.
