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.
