My candidate winning reflects the legitimate will of the people, and your candidate winning is solely due to gerrymandering. Of course.

Both parties[0][1] in fact do engage in gerrymandering.

That's a bad-faith argument. Yes, it's true that both parties engage in gerrymandering. But Republicans do it a lot more than Democrats do.

Out of the 25 examples in your second link, it seems like 23 of them are GOP gerrymanders?

In your own link [1] all but 2 of the examples of worst gerrymanders are Republican...?

But uh yeah "both sides"... uh huh
