A proposed ballot measure to give Democrats more seats for the 2028 and 2030 elections signals that the nation’s gerrymandering fight is likely to persist for years.

No more unilateral disarmament by Democrats

likely to persist for years

For fucks sake it’s been ongoing for fucking decades, and Democrats simply haven’t done anything but handwring about it

Glad they’re finally fucking doing something, but jesus tapdancing christ that is a misrepresentation of the situation.

I dont like lumping all Democrats together on this. They passed national anti-gerrymandering legislation through the House when they controlled it, but it died in the Senate because 3 out of 50 Democrats there wouldn't break the filibuster to pass it.
