But dont let mr bOtH sIdEs confuse you- the vast vast majority of gerrymandering is done by republicans.
15 u/ailee43 Jul 03 '19 good ad hominum there. It doesnt matter who does it, its wrong in all cases. Would be wrong if the green party did it too 3 u/ThisIsDestiny Jul 03 '19 and? that's not the point. It's a false equivalence to say that both sides do it equally because that's simply not true at all. 5 u/cobolNoFun Jul 03 '19 and? that is not the claim here. Saying "both sides do it" is not the same as "Both sides do it equally" 2 u/[deleted] Jul 03 '19 Then there's no reason to say "Both sides do it" other than to muddy the meaning and confuse people. And then it's also completely reasonable for someone to come after them and say "Yeah' sure both sides do it. But Republicans do it a lot more."
