I'm not saying that getting rid of Gerrymandering would solve any real substantial problem that the US has, but like, why is this still a thing?
It's easily solvable, and it seems like neither party really gets all that much more out of it than the other, so why not just get rid of it?
Doesn't the redistricting process fall under federal control? So, they could just tell the states they can't do it anymore, right?
Getting rid of gerrymandering is broadly popular among the US electorate. So there have been referenda and other measures attempted to do away with it and have districting done by neutral parties (insofar as those exist), but these efforts are consistently frustrated by the largely right wing courts and state legislatures, as part of a larger program of limiting or destroying any truly democratic avenue for legislation at the state or local level.
The Democrats have no longterm planning, hence the abysmal situation in re courts and legislatures, so their recent strategy has mostly been to get better at gerrymandering.
