To me it’s just about the definition of the word. It would be incorrect to say, “The WV legislature gerrymandered Joe Manchin’s senate seat.” Because gerrymandering means redrawing districts. You can totally say “The gerrymandered WV legislature passed laws that make it harder for Joe Manchin to be elected.” While gerrymandering affects the outcome, what they’re doing to Joe Manchin’s district is not gerrymandering.
Lol, you’re a writer and/or journalist, yes? I’m not and not that worried about getting it just right, the results are the same.
@PeleSpirit Ha, recovering grad student. No worries, shitty voter suppression is shitty voter suppression at the end of the day.

Lemmy is acting a little fucky, I answered you but I don’t know where it went, lol.

I was pretty sure we were agreeing and don’t get me wrong, I love people who love words because I don’t understand it but still find value in that way of thinking. I like art and physical beauty and I think word people probably also like art in the meanings of words and the ideas they create. You can see them happy when they read a good story and look up, its awesome.
