Note that "blocking Republican gerrymanders" in that last is code for "imposing Democrat gerrymanders."
Gerrymandering is a power struggle between Right & Left, in which the common man can get a hearing. The alternative is to hand over power to elite, unelected, unaccountable liberals, on the bench or in insulated bureaucratic commissions. That's fundamentally anti-democratic.

??? We elect governments who can appoint the commissions. You think the commissions in Iowa and Arizona are composed of all “liberals?! C’mon Dan—do better than that! That’s nonsense—it’s a struggle for incumbents to retain their power, no matter which party.

And the “common man” gets a hearing? What does that even mean? How about the the large majority of common men and women who voted for Dems in WI, and then Dems get 36% of the seats. Some defense of the working class!

That’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. Gerrymandering let’s the party in power in each state at each ten year point game the system to its own advantage and disenfranchise the other side’s voters. Much better to have neutral rules applied everywhere.

So you have the same view as the hackish , gerrymandering Dems you excoriate. That’s fine, but then there’s no reason that anybody shouid take your criticisms of them seriously.

Sounds like you support gerrymandering. Outstanding. Don’t expect a peep from you then in ‘21 if Dems do everything you suggest—after all, the other proposals are worse, right?
