The congressional districts are what get gerrymandered. They're completely irrelevant to the Democrats or Republicans picking their presidential candidates.

- Grishnakh 10y agoThat is precisely my point. Gerrymandering only affects Congressional districts, which only affects the House of Representatives. That's it. It does NOT affect: 1) gubernatorial races, 2) Senate races, 3) Presidential races. It is a problem, but it's not the huge problem that some people make it out to be. As we can see, our political system is totally broken at all levels: our Presidential races are a total farce, and we don't do much better electing Senators than we do House members. We elect some lousy governors too. Therefore, it's obvious that fixing gerrymandering is not going to fix our political problems, not by a long shot.
