One viewpoint urges a temporary California redistricting to create more Democratic districts to counter Texas gerrymandering and to restore democracy by allowing voters to approve Proposition 50. The viewpoint rejects passive responses and endorses tit-for-tat measures to prevent the GOP from retaining House control through gerrymandering. An opposing viewpoint contends Proposition 50 would undermine representative democracy by diluting Republican representation, citing precise voter registration and seat counts and warning the measure would reduce Republican-held districts to a negligible share. A separate comment criticizes the Trump administration for canceling $679 million in wind projects and justifying actions with falsehoods.
However, since President Trump is demanding gerrymandering to ensure the GOP retains control of the House, it's time for Democrats to even the playing field; in this case, tit for tat. Michelle Obama's "when they go low, we go high" is no longer viable; that ship has sailed. The GOP is determined to remain in power by any means, including illegal ones.
A true republic holds to the principle of majority rule while maintaining minority rights. There are 5,776,356 registered Republicans in California or 25.22% of the electorate. Yet, Republicans represent a mere 9 out of 52 Congressional districts - 17.3%. What once occurred behind closed doors in smoke-filled rooms is now out in the open. Proponents of the proposition intend to eliminate five of those Republican seats, leaving two, or 3.8% of 5,776,356 registered Republicans.
