Maybe ya’ll don’t vote. Otherwise, you’d have different leadership.
“Gerrymandering” has been defined as a process by which politicians choose their voters, rather than the other way around.
California is an example of gerrymandering on an international scale.
Yes both democrat leaning and republican leaning people just don’t get out and vote. Many think it’s stupid to vote or perhaps even a bit ‘fruity’
BUT REMEMBER
When a republican wins it’s by 10s of thousands to millions of votes depending on the race. A close vote is won by the democrats no matter what. BECAUSE THEY ARE CHEATING SCUMBAGS.

Also, in some California elections as I understand it, the top 2 vote-getters from primary are on ballot...and they could and often are Democrats...So where a friend of mine lives, there is no choice for GOP voter unless they write-in...
In sympathy, I’m sure the Democrats control the elections as well.
Methods in my state to retain control: 1. Always resign in the middle of your term so the governor can replace you with a dependable Demcrat replacement, usually your chief of staff. Thus you always have an incumbent to hold the office. 2. Set up your system so that “democracy” is two Democrats running against each other (in my State really only the primary counts at all). 3. Make sure that Republicans or other challenging know that they will lose, will be blackballed and never able to get a job or government contract again.
