By leaving OR Dems in charge of legislative but not congressional redistricting, this doesn't actually lead to less-gerrymandered outcomes. If GOP blocks Dems from gerrymandering Congress in blue states while GOP still does it in many states, the overall map's GOP bias gets worse

Asking Dems to unilaterally not gerrymander blue states for Congress while GOP keeps doing it is like asking Electoral College foes to give blue state electoral votes to the popular vote winner regardless of what red states do.

Unfortunately, yes. It's the same logic as ending winner-take-all Electoral College allocation.
That only applies to Congress, though. There's no similar justification for passing legislative gerrymanders for partisan advantage, & Dems in power should pass fair legislative maps

As a general rule when it comes to redistricting in a two-party system, I tend to support whatever is necessary to ensure that the party with the most votes overall wins the most seats, communities of color are proportionately represented, & communities of interest are protected
