    Democrats do gerrymandering too. Basically without gerrymandering, the power would shift about 4% in Democrats favor. Enough to shift power in the House, but not as much as people think.

    (That statistic comes from a video I watched a while ago, and could be wrong, so take it with a grain of salt. I’m not an authority on this matter.)

      I suspect politics would actually shift a huge minority amount towards “no, don’t kill the planet, my grandchildren live here”.

      The billionaire planet killers can afford to buy up and lock down two parties. I doubt they can afford to buy out everyone.
