Maybe I missed something, but didn't every host on MSNBC and every elected national Democrat come out in support of gerrymandering California? All on the same day? In one voice?
Was there nothing to be said against suppressing the Republican vote?
I keep looking for a Democrat bold enough to insist that Republican voters be treated fairly. In an age where political parties play by Trump rules, that hasn't happened.
So Trump wins. He has changed us.
There are a few independent people who refuse to endorse gerrymandering. Bernie Sanders sees gerrymandering as a threat to representative democracy. He's been silent, not conforming. He has not endorsed Prop 50. But he isn't a Democrat (he must have his reasons).
If there were a major party defending fair treatment for everyone, Susan and I might join it.
