no one should be surprised to see redistricting used to build a governable majority.

that usually means democrats build the maximum safe districts for democrats in states where they control the process and ditto for republicans.

they'll cut out a few outliers but it's mainly built to protect incumbents.

which is why (i'm talking to you danny) it's a waste of time to concentrate on term limits as a solution.

does it really matter when the chief of staff for a (republican) (democratic) congressman succeeds them due to term limits?

stop letting elected officials draw their own districts and you'll have a lot fewer safe incumbents.
