Here comes the gerrymandering. Republicans continue to keep their eyes on the prize while Dems ignore it.

    Good. Gerrymandering works by concentrating your opponents voters in a few districts and spreading yours over more districts.

    So the GOP would win more seats with smaller margins while the Dems would win less seats with larger margins.

    Dems would then have safe districts with better chances at a successful primary.

    I'm not a proponent of entryism into the democratic party as a socialist strategy, but I do like the idea of of more NYT opeds written freaking out as the neolib ghouls continue to lose to left challengers.

      This occurred in Australia in the 1920s with a third party labour party and led to first past the post voting being abolished.
