In an era of maximum political warfare, unilateral disarmament and half measures will not succeed in the face of the right-wing push to end representation of minority communities across the nation.
Wrong: “Democrats must gerrymander to save democracy.” Gerrymandering is manipulative. Rather, to save our representative Republic, — we’re not a democracy — Democrats must become better informed regarding how corrupt and wasteful government is, start thinking and acting independently rather than continue to seek personal security and belonging as part of a group controlled by self-serving career politicians and bureaucrats. Independent thinking requires research, work and self-confidence.

And in the near term, your notion of “independent thinking” results in defeat and Republican dominance. No, thanks.
