    Gerrymandering doesn’t exist in your presidential election.

    The majority of Americans supports - or at the very least is neutral towards - Trump. You can blame this on a lot of factors such as misinformation and lack of education but this doesn’t change the general attitude.

        The electoral college has bias towards states with lower populations but it’s not gerrymandering.

        Gerrymandering is specifically drawing district borders to guarantee victory with a minority of votes.

        The US presidential election would be gerrymandered if some states decided to go through mitosis to get more electoral votes for their party.

      Something like 49% of eligible voters voted for Trump. And many eligible voters don’t vote. So no, factually, you are incorrect. A lot of people here are too poor to give a shit about politics and are completely unengaged.
