So, to answer Erik, yes, until the rules change, I would absolutely like the Democrats to engage in ridiculous gerrymandering and obstructionism.

The optimal state is that the Democrats hang around long enough to get rid of the scum their stupidity helped open the door for, and then they too get shoved out by a party actually interested in facing the catastophe the American way has become. Sanders and a few other like Tulsi Gabbard can stay. The rest might be alright in comparison to Amber Adolf and the White Sheets but no serious move toward "resistance" or reparations can happen with the anything remotely like the shills in office these last decades.
