Nonsense. Just need voter turnout to skyrocket enough to overcome gerrymandering to take the state-wide offices. Then we can work on fixing the gerrymandered districts and voter supression.
They’ve been emboldened by far-right candidates winning elections. Gerrymandering districts has contributed to those wins, by forcing the primary candidates to be more hard-line than the rest, as they don’t have to compete for moderate voters in the general. Fixing the elections will snap back to reality the fact that these extreme views are not shared by the majority of society.
