Unfortunately both parties are doing it and this is against democracy. Instead of having voters pick up politicians, the politicians are picking up their voters.
Edit: lol about the downvotes, but every single time gerrymandering is done it is for the benefit the party against the voter.
You might be OK with it, because you are supporting the party, but that still takes the voice away from you.
There are people who say both parties are the same. This is not it. All I’m pointing out is that every time this is done it is in favor of the political party and always against us, the voters and us inexcusable every time.
Make an independent commission, or use an algorithm that doesn’t rely on inputs that would allow gerrymandering.
Democrats. I support that and clearly one party cares more about democracy than the other, but when I see black I call it black. Any kind of gerrymandering is bad for us, the voters.
It’s like when someone gets bullied in a high school and they get suspended as long as the person attacking them, since they threw a punch to defend themselves.
Obviously both are equally guilty of the same exact offense. /s
While true, and it doesn’t make it right, the GOP started it and have applied it 10x harder. There’s no point taking the democratic high horse when that further enables your opponents attacks on democracy, especially when your opponents goal is a Christian fascist dictatorship.
The thing that should concern you is whether they’re legitimately fighting to criminalize the practice.
Actually gerrymandering is legal if it’s exclusively partisan. They get into trouble when they racially gerrymander
legal but still wrong

GOP: Does something terrible 1000 times
Dems: do that thing a handful of times
People online: see??? Both parties are at fault!!!1
That guy that pulled the fire alarm will be on Fox news for months, but you wont hear about Trump’s lawyers

Which party has been calling for independent redistricting?

Ah yes, the venerated “both sides” argument.

Fuck your ”both parties" bullshit.

This is interesting. Is this a “bothsidzer” or do Democrats really do this as much as Republicans? Anyone got facts on this issue?
