    Once a democrat heavy state does it, it will be ser in stone. Everyone must do it, there will be no turning back. I can’t say it shouldn’t be done, but all this blatant gerrymandering is one more piece into the destruction of our democracy. Of course I know gerrymandering is not new, and its not a big piece.

    Going to get alot of angry Californians though. Norcal and IE are red heavy, this will make them boil even more…thats just annoying because they pester local politics and spam local roads and stores with thier yapping. (I was typing some of the recent embezaling by our mayor that has gone silently but found it was too much to put here, but yeah it goes but everytime newsom does something there are billborads all around bemoaning, and so so so many trump and maga flags)

      Red states already do this, the supreme court has already ruled that it can’t review gerrymandering cases, newsome isn’t doing this to get a win, California is likely to elect democrats with or without the new maps, he is doing this to highlight how messed up it is that this is allowed.

        It’s funny reading this exact comment but in the reverse in conservative spaces. This is game theory in action.

        Perhaps. They say the first step of getting out a of a hole is stop digging but we’re still digging our grave, might be too deep to get out of.

      Every angry CA person eventually moves to a place like Idaho or Texas. This will just accelerate the departure of people who add nothing to the culture.
