How is removing an elected body’s ability to make decisions in favor of an unelected bureaucracy democratic exactly?

You can  support independent commissions if you want, but it’s not the more democratic alternative
Because those people end up being corrupt and using their powers to make it not democratic anymore? We literally know this happens all the time.

"Independent" redistricting commissions tend to draw notoriously incumbent-friendly maps. They're really not "more democratic" in a meaningful sense.

You mean like the California redistricting commission, which implemented a map that led to almost a dozen seats flipping while just one had flipped with the previous legislature-drawn map?

Or maybe like the New Jersey one, where around a dozen seats have flipped in the last 25 years.
