> Should do the redistricted map vs our house losses in NY, We lost areas we purposely redistrict to be in our favor.

So gerrymandering is only an abhorrent abuse of civil rights when the other team does it?

Did you not see the final approved map? it was still in our favor. Based on the results in NY...even if we got the map we wanted, we would have still lost those races. The down ballot crush was real. That's the reason why NY cause the Dems to lose the House but instead of blaming the Gov, we deflect to redistricting when the Gov deserves much blame for what happen. These are areas that Biden and past Dems carried and won in comfy margins. That margin was absent due to dislike of Gov.
