Yeah and pacifism gets you killed when a knife comes out. I’d love to take the high road the rest of my life, but I don’t think we’re gonna turn-the-other-cheek our way out of this.

That is a fantastic level of dishonest cherry-picking of a starting point. Democracy is under attack due to Trump and Republicans in other states already forcibly gerrymandering, pretending that CA is doing this in a vacuum to be evaluated on its own as a statement on democracy is so disingenious it can’t be a serious position and can only be willful partisan instigation.
