    It’s antidemocratic. Yes there are consequences to Texas’ and other states’ moves, but gerrymandering California is not the answer. Gerrymandering is never the answer.

      You unilaterally disarm, and therefore never get a chance to ban gerrymandering nationally. Its not great that Democrats need to do this, but the alternative is a permanent fascist state

        I get Popper’s paradox. However, explicitly changing the law to make things less democratic is in itself a fascist move.
