That was their choice. I don’t understand how Democrats can have ANY right to complain about the gerrymandering they protected … being used against them. Politics is the wrong paradigm. The reason that Science progresses is because Objective Truth outranks, in its system, politics. Because politics rejects Objective Truth’s rule, therefore DEvolution is the result, instead of Evolution. The 2 paradigms produce their inevitable results. Bandaids don’t fix broken-bones. You have to change the structural-function of government, if you want different kinds of results.
