Gerrymandering:
Since there is no real quote to take from these Washington post
links, I will discuss my opinion on gerrymandering. I think it's a complete
fluke. The fact that there is a strategy that can take a minority count, and
re-shape it to get a majority count, is really annoying to think about. Why?
For the reason that of course, when it is convenient, you'll find a ridiculous
way to flip a negative to a positive. However when
it comes to minorities in the country, we are always the minority and there is
no gerrymandering equivalent that exists that can have us the minority have our
way. According to the post, "Gerrymandering is at least partly to blame for the
lopsided Republican representation in the House." Because they have lost,
but then found a scheme to win. Honestly, that is very annoying, and reading
this article, gerrymandering is just one representation of our corrupted
system. You should not be able to argue because you're the minority how the
distribution of counts get done to affect the overall count. Because that makes
no kind of sense. It should be, that the majority, is the majority, period. I
think that is ridiculous.
