10. And you still can't explain why
outside of a vague "I don't trust the incumbents" argument.

You say nothing about voting on redistricting organized in the very districts you're voting on whether you approve or not--

You say nothing about the absence of parameters about how the districts should be drawn, aside from the vague "compactness" directive--

You say nothing about an immediate redistricting using 5-year-old census data--

You say nothing about the redistricting being done by judges who are in no way accountable to the electorate--

You say nothing about the fact that the pool of retired judges being chosen from have been overwhelming selected by Republican governors, and are overwhelmingly elderly white males, yet they are supposed to represent the diversity of California--

77 isn't about fairness, or competitiveness. It's about manufacturing GOP seats in an overwhelmingly progressive state.
