1. I disagree

With any gerrymandering, either way. We cant condone it in one state and complain about it in another. Doing so makes us no better than the repugs.

2. I don't like it either, but our democracy is at stake.

Sometimes, you have to fight fire with fire.

3. Or, we could fight fire with cupcakes.

We've seen how that works.

4. I'll take redistricting and dark money as long as Republicans do.

5. Hear Hear, Sir

We are not better than they are because we refuse to employ effective methods to gain our ends. We are better because the ends we seek are better. And all a long list of 'things we can't stoop to' does is communicate that these better ends aren't really desired that much....

8. Well said

10. Which side has more State legislatures to draw up maps?

6. I don't like it either, but....

We cannot unilaterally disarm. Too much is at stake.

7. LOL

11. Until we have the power to change the rules, we have play by the existing ones

We have to maintain power to get the government we want.

14. I don't think it should be allowed, however

if they are going to do it, we should too.

Democrats were willing to allow non-partisan redistricting nationwide, but Republicans stopped that from happening.

So, now, we should do it as hard as they do, because if we don't, we're done...not just Democrats, but the USA.

9. My home District in SoCal was also "modified" to push the GOP'er out in 2022...

Yaaaayyy gerrymandering.

At least until the GOP'ers do it.

12. Good

If the rethugs don't like it, I encourage them to support the voting rights acts in Congress that ban gerrymandering. Or at least a clean bill against gerrymandering.

The rethugs will stomp and scream... but I won't hold my breath waiting for them to get on board with banning gerrymandering. They know they need to cheat a hell of a lot more than they need the NY seats.
