This is the shit that drives me nuts - “Republicans shouldn’t be gerrymandering because it’s undemocratic but we need to embrace it!”

Most of his comments are pure projection.  And again, he laments the money Elon spent but will gladly accept money from Soros, Zuckerberg and the rest.  The hypocrisy is maddening.

I deem that idea as Dems copying Rs' actions.  
But you know, I'm just some sort of lefty caricature.  
Definitely not a moderate abandoned by both parties.

Yep, it was clearly the Rs in Illinois that eliminated Kinsinger’s seat…

I’m confused, we keep getting told that illegals are not receiving free healthcare?

Is gerrymandering bad or good?

I have to admit, on this board that is nominally about football. It does feel a little weird to have people who are just here to complain about politics.

It appears to be good for democrats and bad for republicans.

It’s weird to see political commentary in a thread labeled “Politics Thread”?  LOL

That does not answer the question. 

(Damn near everything in politics these days lands in the “for me not thee zone.” And the cure to that is deciding if things are good or bad for both sides)

First you have to define exactly what gerrymandering is.  Seems obvious on its face but what types of drawn boundaries are "acceptable" and what ones are considered "gerrymandered?"

Is there some percentage or deviation from a geographic line determining the midpoint of a specified population that determines it?  

Is it vibes?

Is it something else?
