I mean, anything proportional would be an improvement. Personally though I would prefer a proportional by state system, to balance proper political representation with local representation, where each state gets a certain number of at-large seats, and they all come from the state party (or if no state party organization the members must come from that state). I also agree with keeping the VP or some equivalent role.

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.

Not agreeing with you =/= corrupt

Plus, if this is the argument then why support democratic governance at all?
Not agreeing with me? Using redistricting powers to ensure your party wins regardless of who people actually vote for isn't a matter of my political opinion, it's undermining democracy. I don't support gerrymandering in Maryland.
