You can look to Canada and many other parts of the world as to how redistricting can work without entrenching the ruling party. The truth is that neither party wants to see gerrymandering disappear b/c it's what keeps their seats safe and allows them to continue self-dealing. Hell, there are even computer programs that do it based on fundamental principles rather than party affiliation. The output of the program can then be adjusted by human supervisor. The typical arrangement is that 3 people from each party + 3 non-partisans form a 9 member committee that handles the issue within established guidelines. Everyone should push their party to stop gerrymandering and work towards a nonpartisan committee handling it. The more reasons the party establishment gives you for why it is not possible and the more resistance they show, the more corrupt that party is.
