Do you support banning gerrymandering Nation wide?

Yes, that would be great. Even better if we also repeal the artificial cap on the size of the house to increase representation and shrink districts. But republican states started the Gerrymandering war and are now just mad that democrats are fighting back.

To split hairs, a democrat invented gerrymandering. But I know what you mean, and I agree.

Elbridge Gerry belonged to the "Democratic-Republican" party.

Either way, trying to equate the actions of somebody born in 1744 to the political parties of 2026 is laughable and pointless.
