What’s your point here?… it doesn’t matter who does it Jerry meandering is still bad. Also I’m not sure if you noticed but none of those are past 50, so it makes sense they got two democrats voted for if going off population.

1. This isn’t evidence of gerrymandering 2. If you apply this logic to every state, you’d see that it benefits Republicans more than Democrats 3. Democrats are the only ones trying to ban gerrymandering at the federal level. Republicans blocked their attempts to do so, because Republicans know they’re the ones who benefit most from it 4. If Republicans refuse to ban gerrymandering and continue to do it in red states, then Democrats have no choice but to do it in blue states.

Theres two senators, but representatives are proportional to population. Massachusetts has 9 representatives for example.

But also, I think you’re assuming the states are all homogenous.

1. I’d say this is evidence, but not conclusive evidence. 2. I think thats just a function of there being more red states. Maybe if you equate populations. 3. This conversation is huge can of worms, far more nuanced imo. 4. You always have a choice to live by your principles.
