6. The constitution prohibits gerrymandering.

So how is it that the Supreme Court can instruct federal courts to ignore it? Hence, there is the problem.

Someone explain to me why it was that when Democrats had the power, in 2020-22, with majorities in both houses, that we did not take the advice progressives were giving, be a little bit bolder and riskier than the old status quo political games we still play, and packed the court by taking out the senate filibuster? We'd have been able to secure a court that could have overturned citizens united, slapped down every red state gerrymander from prior decades, saved Roe and kept Trump from delaying his insurrection trial.

And we're wondering why our poll numbers are sljpping.
