22. Just because a district has been redistricted by Republicans doesn't mean it is "more conservative"

If you have 10 districts in a geographic area, and previously you had 3 Republican strong districts, 4 divided districts, and 3 leaning Democrat districts, and therefore maybe had 6 Democratic seats with at least 4 of them with DINOs in charge. Now if Republicans redistricted them to be 4 strong Republicans, 2 leaning Republicans, 1 divided district, and three strong Democratic seats, by pushing out the Democrats in to those three more solidly Democratic districts, would you continue to want a DINO rep in one of those three more stronger Democratic seats? WHY? The Republicans are giving you a gift, and you want to put DINOs in instead of more progressive politicians better able to serve those in them? Republicans may feel they've picked up a seat they didn't have before and made it harder for you to even use a DINO to get that sixth seat, but they've made some of your districts more left of center. You don't need a DINO to win those any more, and the Dems are better off with someone there that isn't DLCer but speaks more to the people (aka "far left" to some here), than to the corporate sponsors they've served in the past.
