You have mostly-liberal and educated voters in your state. You can speak to them directly and tell them the truth. They will actually listen ... and give you the benefit of the doubt.

California rocks!

And the California MAGAs are going nuts over this. They say Prop 50 is taking away their right to representation. I suspect their new representatives will turn out to be better for them in the long run since they won’t be ass kissing Trump toadies.

Send them to North Dakota, or some such place.

They are already have my brother. It wouldn't be fair to them.

Don't we have an atoll or an island anywhere they can go? I'm willing to give them SNAP benefits to make the transition easier.

And no I'm not saying I oppose what's happening in California because it's only a reaction to what Texas another Republican states are trying to pull by gerrymandering.
I'm just saying we need the amendment because leaving it to the politicians is like asking the fox to guard the hen house.
Another thing we need is that you can't get elected back into office unless you get 5% more votes than you previously got and that includes if you lose and then decide to run again later during the next election for the same level of office. So if you run for the house you need 5% more if you ever run for the house again at any other time in the future. If you run for the Senate though that is different and it starts off the same way where after the next election you need 5% more and so on.

Make no mistake, the Dems have done it too. But almost all the recent violations have been done by Repukes.

Regardless, it's fact of human nature that anyone will try to tip the scale in their own favor, if they are given the chance. That's why NO INCUMBENTS should ever be included in the redistricting process.

Ideally each state should have a non-partisan committee, or a bi-partisan committee with no incumbents permitted.

simply by how they draw the lines.

Take off on the ending scene of Scarface. Gavin Newsom - "You wanna play rough? OK! Say hello to my little friend!" A sharpie used to draw new CA district lines.
