Thoughts about the California gerrymander

Some years ago, California voted to put redistricting in the hands of a non-partisan commission. Over time that did reduce voter disenfranchisement. I voted for that ballot measure and was happy when it passed.

Now, I've changed my mind. I want to get rid of the independent commission and let the Dem party gerrymander every elected Republican out of every local, state and federal office where a Republican can be gerrymandered out of office. The Republican threat to democracy, elections, the rule of law and civil liberties is too high to give up this partisan weapon in this state. 

According to FiveThirtyEight, with California's current non-partisan districting, the state looks like this:

9 highly competitive House voting districts

7 republican districts

37 democratic districts

Under Democratic gerrymandering, CA would look like this:

0 highly competitive House voting districts

6 republican districts

47 democratic districts

That is why I changed my mind about the gerrymander. CA alone has unilaterally conceded 10 safe Democratic House seats for the sake of voter enfranchisement. That alone could be enough to give the Republican Party control of the House in 2022 and 2024, which in turn could be enough to allow the Republican Party to mostly or completely kill American democracy, the rule of law and civil liberties.

Question: 

1. Should CA go back to partisan gerrymandering?
