    It’s also a great way of pressuring Republican politicians into actually banning it.

    “You don’t like us playing by the rules you wanted? Help us change the rules then!”

    They’ll only accept losing the power to gerrymander if it hurts Democrats more than Republicans.

      We’ll have to do it more. There’s a reason they could only gerrymander 5 more seats into a state the size of Texas, and that’s because Texas was and is already gerrymandered to shit.

      They still don’t want a ban because even after a few high profile Democrat gerrymanders, Republicans still benefit more.
