Comment on California Approves New House Maps in a Major Win for Democrats and Newsom
mienshao@lemmy.world 17 hours agoWhile I agree with your comment generally, being against gerrymandering isn’t “pansy ass empty do-gooder tolerance.” While it might be the right move for Dems now, gerrymandering as a practice is still super fucking problematic and not a proper way to govern. It’s undemocratic and should be illegal for all states.

You’re not wrong, gerrymandering sucks. But the right wields it unfairly and gets away with it. So we need to do it back. Only when we have enough collective power to dismantle the entirety of gerrymandering at the federal level for good can it be truly done away with. Until we get to that point, we have to play hardball back, or the right will just continue to get their way.
