On one hand they cry political gerrymandering, aka artifically writing districts specifically to gain political advantage. And on the other, they call the Supreme Court illegitimate and violating the constitution for... literally banning racial gerrymandering in the South. Black majority district in the south are absolutely disconnected from topography, urban layout and other objective measures (I thought the dems position is to give the power to independent committees and let them draw the districts based on these factors), their only purpose is to pack as many black voters in them as possible, cause otherwise the dems wouldn't win (like republicans for example in New England- their candidates got usually close to 30% of the vote, both statewide and in specific districts, but because the support is evenly widespread accros them, they didn't get a single house seat from that region in many years, but no one cares, cause that situation benefits the dems), yet in their eyes gerrymandering is completely fine, because of historical discrimination arguments (I'll omit even how dumb "positive discrimination" and legally discriminating "the privileged" argument is in the first place)- beyond ludicrous.
