It wouldn't have surprised me in the least if they would have done so. They're democrats, after all, ate up with end-stage TDS and absolutely terrified of letting voters be able to actually speak their minds about who they want to represent them.and you’re pretending California and Virginia would have done away with their nonpartisan redistricting commissions if Texas and other red states hadn’t escalated their gerrymandering mid-decade.
Now, are you seriously cheering them on as they do exactly what you and they had such terrible fits about just a few months ago? It's all okay because they're doing it? That's the hill you choose to die on?
