We've had this system, in broad outline, for 2+ centuries, through multiple expansions of the electorate, many different partisan coalitions, & endless shifts in who benefits from what at particular moments.

Here's what the founders wanted and really the only thing you can say they all really wanted: a government that changes and evolves over time. Here's what I want: majority rule and 1 person 1 vote. Like a real democracy that graduated from the 18th century.

Dan's smart enough to know why one party doesn't stop gerrymanding by itself, it's just that he doesn't respect his readers, so he trots out that nonsense. all bad faith, all the time

I live in Illinois, a supermajority blue state, and I could talk your ear off about gerrymandering from the Dems. Somehow, to progressives, this is different than when R’s do it in other places.
