      I have no idea why you’re being downvoted. Gerrymandering is specifically for the House of Representatives and has no bearing on presidential election outcomes.

        People think I’m saying gerrymandering is ok, I’m not. I responded in the context of the thread, which is about Trump exclusively.

        I’m being downvoted by people who don’t stop to think before doing so.

        That’s not what gerrymandering is, no. Words have meaning.

        Not to defend the electoral college, it should be abolished.

        It might feel that way, but gerrymandering is specifically for the House of Representative districts. It has no bearing on the outcome of presidential elections.

        The electoral college was put in place to prevent people like Trump from being elected, so it’s not even functioning as intended.
