Is she just a psyop at this point?

It's entirely possible to take a principled stand which also happens to be foolish.

No. She's just wrong. Nothing crazy or interesting whatsoever.

Americans turn over just enough DNC members every election to fool themselves into thinking a few good apples can un-spoil a bunch of rotten cores.

Nina’s right in principle, but probably wrong in strategy at this particular moment.

She’s right because max-gerrymandering both sides is a surefire way to ensure max-disenfranchisement of voters. This is poison for “democracy,” if that’s something we still value in the US.

She’s wrong at this very moment though, it sucks but if Repugs are doing this mid-cycle then democrats must respond in kind, and the correct action would be to use this to regain power and then actually pass laws to fix gerrymandering once back in power. I don’t relieve Dems will do either, unfortunately.

Is it unethical? Yes. Will the other side play fair if we keep our ethics? Hell no. Playing nice in a corrupt system is fantasy and dems need to stop pretending like following the rules will win.

Gerrymandering is always partisan, and "redistricting" is always gerrymandering. Always has been and always will be. The only alternative is a straight up popular vote, but that leads to the tyranny of the majority. So that leads us back to a perpetual argument about gerrymandering.

She's not wrong.

A good analogy would be gun control. Obviously, the best strategy for eliminating gun violence, is to eliminate guns. No guns...no gun violence. That's the point she's making.

This "solution" to the gerrymandering issue, is similar to saying, "if they have guns, we need guns too". Also, not wrong...but also not a great "solution" to the problem.
