GOP: "Clintons MUST testify about Epstein."
Clintons: "Fine. Let's do it in public."
GOP: "No. It will be in secret but files and video will be made public."

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.
