I am tired of hearing people talk about how important it is for Democrats to "fight." What's more important is to have a plan to win. That requires learning from past, failed strategies, as I discussed in this thread.

Democrats should have given up on "good government" "fair" redistricting years ago, after the packed Roberts Court upheld the constitutionality of all partisan gerrymandering and the GOP continued to exploit it to the max. Now we have to catch up. Today's ruling is the price of tardiness.
