Stupid goo goo nonsense. The only way to get fair districting is to pinch republicans in the mouth enough until they agree to fairness. Doing this with Callais days away from ripping up the VRA is so stupid I don’t know where to begin.

no actually, ā€œwe gerrymander as revenge for their gerrymanderā€ is the bad stuff. if you can’t win with a level playing field, tilting the field is not a long- or even medium-term solution (and nationalizing state politics is also bad)

If they gerrymander then our gerrymanders are *how the field gets levelled*. If we don't then we don't get to try the level playing field trick, do we? This isn't even some abstract logic puzzle, they have gerrymandered unopposed for years and the result has been entrenching minoritarian power!
