Why'd they call it "gerrymandering" and not "antidemocratic bullshit that should have been eradicated decades ago"? Lmfao 😂😂

@fool The cartoonist (Gilbert Stuart) thought it looked like a salamander and the Massachusetts governor at the time was Elbridge Gerry, hence gerry-mander!

@eletious @fool @specter Yeah it's sci-fi level nasty looking.I was under the understanding this was the actual animal gerrymandering was coined from because the map of the voting boundry resembled a salamander.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salamander#/media/File:SpottedSalamander.jpg
