A climate protest group backed by a cadre of Hollywood film-makers is preparing to take action against “cowards” and “criminals” of all political stripes as the 2024 election approaches.

Climate Defiance, which disrupted events featuring a string of Biden administration officials this year, and targeted Darren Woods, CEO of ExxonMobil, in December, will consider protesting at events staged by both Democrats and Republicans on the campaign trail after concluding that its “very disruptive” action was bearing fruit.

    You seems to be knowledgeable, so I was wondering, are democrat states gerrymandered as well? If so, are they as bad as the republican states?

    I get that a newly elected democrat in a republican state would inherit the gerrymandered county/state, but I am talking more about traditionally democrat states vs republican states.

    Thanks

      A number of the biggest Democratic-leaning states, including California, have processes for independent redistricting which reasonably effectively prevent partisan gerrymanders.

      Democratic-leaning states without such rules do gerrymanders; you don’t dare engage in unilateral disarmament because that means giving the other party a permanent lock on power.
