What pisses me off about this is states that have dem majorities should be doing the exact same shit. Let them both suck so hard the courts have to demand non-party commission to set these boundaries. Why the hell do the Dems have to fight with a hand tied behind their back?
They did do the same thing. New York’s Democrat-friendly maps were struck down by the state courts, and were redrawn, losing about 3-4 Democratic House seats. That alone could move us in theory from 212-220, to 216-216 right now.

Interstate compact. Don’t give up gerrymandered districts until a supermajority of states agree to independently drawn or algorithmic districts.

They do, just repubs do it way way more.
Yeah, you have to actually have malice in your heart to go full republican. Dems can only muster a little self-righteous indignation.

Yea, I’m saying they have to at least match the bullshit. Make us all equally angry about this bullshit so we can all agree to be done with it.
