    This is an important point: gerrymandering gives a significant advantage to the gerrymandering party and inertia to the incumbent—which is already an advantage. Another way in which our democracy is losing checks and accountability through electoral means.https://twitter.com/reidepstein/status/1351687927957434368 …

        But that should make it easier to take the tougher vote.

        Replying to @zeynep

        gerrymandering also generates elected officials who are more radical because they only have to appeal to their primary voters - the biggest risk is the primary, not the general

        Here's something I never understood. If a Republican gerrymander makes lots of 55% Republican districts and a few 80% Democratic ones, wouldn't it yield more moderate Republicans?

        Ironically, institutional parties and candidates want gerrymandering to make it easy for them, but Trumpism shows that "safe" seats are not good for them, leave them captive to extremes on their one side

        Totally agreed and it's always been a long-term threat to democracy, as it drives parties to the edges - some states making progress on this, but not enough. I recall @Schwarzenegger is working hard on this.

        A lot bad faith arguments will be made that Obama is responsible for the situation post-2010 that gave the GOP such a monopoly on redistricting. But we can't overlook citizen's united. Roberts gave the GOP the power they needed, and at the perfect time, to cement minority rule.

        We also have issues where I live that Republicans run unopposed. We have to make sure Democrats run in all races big or small.
