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, “we gerrymander as revenge for their gerrymander” 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)

Okay. I believe you and think without context that could be a brave stance. But is it not also self defeating? You’re worried about backlash from a group that prematurely creates grievances out of nowhere specifically to justify harms to groups of citizens? Placating the them to avoid retribution?

i’m worried about backlash from virginian voters who see democrats they don’t like getting elected and re-elected due to gerrymandering and not popularity
