If only the state wasn't gerrymandered to hell. Dems frequently win statewide offices but never come close to legislative control. At this point I read somewhere that dems need something like 60% of the vote to win the state house

Dems have to better organize state wide. There's pockets, but in heavy Republican areas, Dems are rather in shambles. Dems state wide need to help those smaller groups. Like, if the Philly machine was to really help the state, it needs to do some serious outreach.

Conservatives also need to stop voting for people actively against their interests and needs. Majority of people I know classified as independent contractors are super far right. Same with most conservatives I know, regardless of age, being for legalized marijuana, especially medical, but continue to vote for those who oppose it. Make it make sense

It's not gerrymandered anymore. With this year's maps, Biden won a slight majority of the state house districts.

So primary Republicans and get anti-wage theft candidates nominated.
