That only matters to people who are alive today and for the next several hundred years. On a long enough time line, things will balance out, or humanity will go extinct. Either way, you’re dead way before it happens, so why care about silly things like gerrymandering?
- LapsangGuzzler 3y agoBecause democracies aren’t guaranteed to survive if they don’t remain democratic, and this has played out many times in history. E.g. Germany was a parliamentary democracy before it fell to the Third Reich. There is zero guarantee that just because we have a democracy today means that it will be there forever.

I don't see it as a 'silly thing' as it affects me, mine, and those around now, because of actions in the past. The dead people left a game for the living to live with.
