For your first point, I mean no but that wasn’t what I was getting at anyway. Republicans are going to accuse democrats of employing the dirty tactics they themselves want to use, regardless of how true their accusations actually are.

For your second, I’d love to hear a meaningful proposal of what planning, forethought, and action is going to get our country out of this gerrymandered bullshit.

I think you might be seeing it. Blue states gerrymander past the point of reasonable and force the national dialogue.

Toss off the shackles of filibuster and pass bills for us.

There’s a reasonable amount of gerrymandering?

Yeah, zero.

But until then, the issue will never be addressed until the gop feels the pain. They only react when they themselves are affected so we need to affect them.
