    What part of my response makes you think I didn’t understand that?

    Your words and how you use them are what makes me think you don’t understand things.

    This decision didn’t change the underlying context which lead to Republicans starting this gerrymandering contest

    Who gives a fuck? It doesn’t matter who started it at this point or even why they started it. If Republicans are allowed to gerrymander and Democrats its cooked, and barring like, statistically impractical levels of unpopularity, which no sensible person should rely on as part of strategy, there is only so much you can do when you are playing the game on a broken board.

    And I fully understand the math behind gerrymandering. All of it, as in, I’ve had to develop and implement algorithms for doing similar process for making maps professionally. Yes gerrymandering weakens the map for the GOP, but they’ll need to do far less of it because of this decision, and they’ll be able to do so far more safely because of the decision earlier in the week.

      Oh, I see. It’s your reading ability that’s holding you back. For multiple comments in a row you’ve responded to things people didn’t say

      You just want to argue and it’s clear you’re not even sure what conversation you’re arguing IN.

        jfc you are literally confusing Democratic led gerrymandering and GOP led gerrymandering in this conversation thread and then you want to make claims regarding reading comprehension.

            They just want to be right, that’s all it comes down to. They do this a lot around here, they simply refuse to consider anything but their own opinion, so when someone challenges that, they lose their mind and thus their reading comprehension. They also love to twist your words to make it seem like you’re the one that doesn’t understand (as they’ve done to several people, including myself, in this thread).
