[E. Pluribus Unum]

As if the Democrats haven't already gerrymandered California up to its eyeballs.

[Sarah Barracuda]

He can’t do it without the voters of this state okaying it and politico already had a poll showing the majority don’t want to do any gerrymandering

[BenLurkin]

Democracy is too important to left to the will of the voters.

[GreenLanternCorps]

The “non-partisan” commissionin the California Constitution gerrymandered California in favor of the Dems, but that Constitution also bans mid decade redrawing the maps. So the Dems have to start by amending the California Constitution…

Not an easy task

As if the Democrats haven't already gerrymandered California up to its eyeballs.

It's true that they've done just about everything possible by traditional methods. Hence, I'm betting they roll up as many Republicans as they can with "shotgun districts" by precincts having no physical connections at all.

I can see it now: a rep having constituents in Modoc and San Benito Counties.

[A Navy Vet]

Didn’t know that. Thank you.

[rktman]

Dumbocracy!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

DOA. Any redistricting would have to be approved by voters.

[TexasFreeper2009]

LMAO

no one tell Gavin that it would take changing the California constitution to do what he is saying.

LMAO

The retard doesn’t seem to know this and that the independent commision has 60%+ support.

Gavin is just running his mouth, trying to score points with low IQ liberals for his next presidential run.

[BenLurkin]

Sorry fo the typo. Should be: “Democracy is too important to be left to the will of the voters.”

[No name given]

And knowing how brainwashed Commiefornia voters are, it’ll most likely pass in a landslide.

[Salman]

Gerrymandering is almost as old as the Republic.
What is new is the Democrats being self-righteous about it.

It completely makes nonsense of any claim there was ever democracy.

[frank ballenger]

CA, MA and IL and others are close to the cheating ceiling for the Dems.

Will the long suffering CA conservatives just say “Oh, well. I’ll have to learn to live with it.”?

Soon the Dems will increase their “taking it to the street” phase as part of looking macho and strong against Trump and us. How violent? We’ll see. The Beto, Newsom and other talk is increasingly defiant against the law.

[Berosus]

I guess in 2026 and 2028, we will see a Democrat platform declaring that Gerrymandering is all right.

[hanamizu]

“Democracy is too important to be left to the will of the voters.”

---

Shouldn’t it be, “Our Democracy™ is too important to be left to the will of the voters”?

[frank ballenger]

We all know the Dems’ message writers make them say “democracy” in every blab.

Infuriating to me.

I hear it and hate that word because it means “violent mob rule Communism.” 👿🤜🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️🔥🔥🔥🔥

[Bullish]

Like a good little communist Pr*ck he doesn’t give a damn about any laws standing in his way.

[Bullish]

Not an easy task

Not even possible without bending and breaking the laws.

[dowcaet]

Gruesom is taking this fake issue and running with it to impress the idiot Democrat base in his run for the presidency.

[Carry_Okie]

Any redistricting would have to be approved by voters.

I'm well aware of Arnold's "California Citizens Redistricting Commission" initiative Proposition 20. I also remember Proposition 8 as a Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage, which was thrown out by the State Supremes and then dropped by Gray Davis.

So, do you really think pulling a get-around on Prop. 20 is beyond Noisome's even more lawless thugs?
