Democrats would maintain that it’s never Gerrymandering because nobody named Gerry is involved in making the district lines and it doesn’t look like a salamander.
BOTH sides call it ‘gerrymandering’ when they don’t like it. Both sides do it, every chance they have. For 150 years. Most lists of the most heavily gerrymandered districts seem to come up about 50/50. Any party that doesn’t use it to their fullest advantage is foolish. To the victor belong the spoils.
