The 2026 election is shaping up as a contest between the Gerrymander Party and the Other Gerrymander Party.
I am not suggesting the two parties are equal, except when it comes to gerrymanders.
Let's be clear. Politicians adore safe seats. Once you get elected in a gerrymandered congressional district, you have a job for ten years. You can smile, age and sleep until noon.
One side wants to suppress liberal voters of color. The other hopes to suppress conservative white voters. Both sides will pretend that the only choice is between gerrymandering or losing. They see no third, fourth or fifth election strategy.
California voters, in polls, support suppressing conservative white people.
Californians, including me, will vote on the issue.
Spinoza (and Spike Lee) argue that doing the right thing is what makes people happy.
