We need to take the state and push it somewhere else.
Seriously. Incumbents are highly entrenched because it's basically impossible to get any media attention as a challenger in the Philadelphia or New York market (or sometimes both!). Nobody can raise the necessary funds for a State Senate or Assembly race, so they have to rely on party leaders and wave elections to move the needle even a centimeter.
As long as incumbents are completely titanium-safe like they are now, reforms to additionally weaken their standing (like removing the "county line" or using a fair redistricting scheme) are impossible.
TL;DR: It's not going to happen.
