We need to start paying attention to our wording

I have seen several posts in which a poster reports that a Democratic led state will propose or begin gerrymandering

No we Democrats don;t gerrymander we re-district

it is the republicans who gerrymander

It may be picky, but we need to be a little more like the Repukes when we frame issues just my IMHO

Accuracy and messaging are our friends. Doing them right will pay dividends; doing them wrong will bite us in the sensitive parts of the anatomy.

It’s gerrymandering either way.

One is craven ratfucking, the other a justified defensive response, but both are gerrymandering.
