I wasn't aware (since I don't live in CA), but apparently Arnold got the anti-gerrymandering legislation passed. So, CA is one of the few states (the only one?) that doesn't have political districting. It's about as non-partisan as you can get. What I have read would indicate that he believes gerrymandering is evil (I agree), and he doesn't want one of his biggest accomplishments to be nullified. That's why he's speaking out now.

I think we all agree gerrymandering is anti-republic and anti-democratic, but my experience is that once someone has an advantage they aren't going to give it up. There are 8 states with prohibition and 4 more where redistricting isn't necessary. see wiki

While I agree, I think we need to fight fire with fire right now. If we see it's getting better we can rethink tactics, but right now we have to assume the worst. Do Dope, LM, or Mike look like they are abandoning Trump? No. If he tries for a third term they'll go along with it. I hope a year from now I'm singing a different tune.

The only Dem that stands out so far is Newsome, and many people don't like him.
