Because two wrongs don’t make a right. It’s really that simple.

Plus - as shitty as gerrymandering is - that isn’t the (primary) issue with our elections.

It’s turnout.

There are enough Dems in every district to overcome the Republican douchebaggery, but people can’t be bothered to get out and vote.

It’s one fucking day out of 730. There’s no excuses for turnout being as low as it is.

That goes for Republicans, independents, libertarians, etc. In every state.

That’s not to say gerrymandering isn’t ridiculous. Of course it is. But we have the numbers to overcome it. People just can’t be bothered to do their civic duty
