No. Gerrymandering is bad no matter which side does it. Depriving people of their rightful representation is evil.In yet other words - "Your (GOP) gerrymandering is wrong, but our (DNC) gerrymandering is right and needs to stand."
And Illinois.The OP fails to mention the most egregious gerrymandering going on right now, New York, which is blatantly violating their state constitution but neither the state nor the OP seem to care.
I agree that gerrymandering is bad; but gerrymandering isn't just changing districting in one's favor, it's also keeping and protecting what districting happens to be in one's favor - when re-districting is actually warranted.No. Gerrymandering is bad no matter which side does it. Depriving people of their rightful representation is evil.

where does it honestly and logically suggest that the op doesn't care about all gerrymandering?The OP fails to mention the most egregious gerrymandering going on right now, New York, which is blatantly violating their state constitution but neither the state nor the OP seem to care.

they 'rounded up all the blacks into a few districts, got less votes and won MORE seats.Probably the most egregious gerrymandered district in the history of the country.
Yeah, the Republican Party is a bunch of racists.

it was evil and genius.
what?It was also required by law...

I take it then you're not much of a student of Democrat party history.Probably the most egregious gerrymandered district in the history of the country.

It was taken to court. You lost. Cry moar.In yet other words - "Your (GOP) gerrymandering is wrong, but our (DNC) gerrymandering is right and needs to stand."
Take it to court.you forgot ". . .except in Dem controlled states". New York is aggressively redrawing up to seven GOP districts out of existence.
I suggest cons stop being so lazy about it and take them to court.The OP fails to mention the most egregious gerrymandering going on right now, New York, which is blatantly violating their state constitution but neither the state nor the OP seem to care.
THems some awful big crocodile tears there Edwin.I agree that gerrymandering is bad; but gerrymandering isn't just changing districting in one's favor, it's also keeping and protecting what districting happens to be in one's favor - when re-districting is actually warranted.
And the DNC is heavily invested in maintaining current districting that happens to be in their favor, whether it's warranted or not.
So the true evil here isn't with the GOP, it's with the DNC.
Very true. I would like it all to stop. Simultaneously. Repubs just want only the dems to stop.where does it honestly and logically suggest that the op doesn't care about all gerrymandering?
why is the op under obligation talking about a different topic that YOU want to talk about?
