To go home. They didn’t the best we can realistically expect. Now others need to step up.

Bullshit. What others? These are the people with the power. The Democrat's and their apologists still don't take what's happening seriously. Two weeks is a nice vacation, not a fucking exile in Syberia.

Well Newsome, for one. They brought attention to the issue and drew him in to the fight.

So, up until that moment, Newsom didn't know about Republican gerrymandering, or or hadn't occurred to him to fight it? You know something, I can almost believe that. The only part I won't believe is that Newsom is fighting them on principal instead of showboating for a 2028 run. The smart money says he folds just like the Texas Democrats.
