there's no conflict here. we can't ban gerrymandering till 2028. you run up the fucking score till Republicans are weeping and begging for you to ban it.
I think this is a super fascinating question.
Would it be better for Congress to try and ban gerrymandering or do we try to run up the score?
I can honestly see both sides of the argument tbh

As you watch the MS count, recall a shocking number of Mississippians can’t vote because of the state’s lifetime ban boltsmag.org/mississippi-...
A large share of Mississippians are disenfranchised due to a felony conviction.
bolts talked to someone who served one year in prison in 2007 for theft—and has been banned from voting since (and for life):

this article could've mentioned britian just passed a bathroom ban, that feels like useful context

Ban price gouging on everything - including on eBay and stockX and third party sellers - an easy win where the only people who will be mad will be wonks and wankers
In the AP Voter Poll, "government corruption" was cited more often than "cost of living" by voters as a crucial reason for their vote. People know our economy is filled with legalized scams that funnel wealth upwards. If Dems don't make a big show of attacking those things, voters will punish them.
Dems taking power in the states should seriously consider this because it breaks Republican power but also because people will like it! Buying a car sucks. Getting fleeced sucks. You want affordability? Joyfully pick a fight with every scam industry and be seen doing it
