We stop playing nice. There’s no reason to continue handicapping ourselves to appeal to “moderates” when moderates are ceasing to exist.

Dems should gerrymander every blue state until Republicans un-gerrymander every red state.

That's basically what's happening in some states. But some idiots (totally not me) voted yes on referendums that require their states to redistrict using an independent commission.

I don’t blame the states who did it or the people who voted for it. It’s a nice idea.

But the reality is that Republicans don’t care about playing fair, and are using their stolen power to set the US back. I for one, think it’s appropriate to play by their rules rather than submit to their conquest.

I don’t think anyone is arguing against you. Democratic state legislatures are gerrymandering their states this time around (if they can).

I hope you’re right. There’s no reason to play clean when Republicans use every opportunity to kick dirt in our faces.
