Repug gerrymandering is worse than I thought

10. We cannot redistrict any state in 2014. The districts are

set until 2020. So, we have to work with what there is. Not every state does its redistricting fairly, although many do. The district boundaries are what they are. The answer to unbalanced districts is to turn out a larger percentage of Democratic voters, wherever that is possible.

Campaigns need to take advantage of Republican obstructionism and sell our candidates as the alternative to it. We need to focus on positive achievements of Democratic leadership, even if we don't think they went far enough. We need to focus on what can be done, not on what cannot be done.

We cannot change district boundaries, so we must work within those districts to identify, convince, and bring Democrats to the polls in record numbers. While some of that can be done with an infusion of campaign funds, individual activism within each district can do even more, if enough individuals get involved.
