Media Roundtable: The Supreme Court's gerrymandering case & the Democratic Party's failure to respond to this moment

On this edition of Your Call’s Media Roundtable, we're discussing the Supreme Court’s decision to hear oral arguments regarding a North Carolina gerrymandering case that could take power away from state courts and allow Republican legislators to control elections.

We'll also discuss the Democratic Party's failure to respond to authoritarianism, gerrymandering, the stolen Supreme Court seat, and the Roe decision.
