In recent months and years, Democrats including Barack Obama, Eric Holder and Hillary Clinton have warned that redistricting is a “threat do democracy”:
This is a real danger to our democracy. Republican gerrymandering means that bills not supported by the people (like the abortion ban in Texas) become law and majority rule becomes impossible. Demand a fair redistricting process. #NDRC https://t.co/eol2lUYVIt

From voter suppression to gerrymandering and foreign threats, American democracy is under assault.

The DNC has also slammed “partisan gerrymandering”:
This is a disgraceful decision. Partisan gerrymandering is destructive to our democracy. https://t.co/xzlbvHG5FY

But for some reason we’re not going to see any Democrat/media hyperventilating about this:
The Cook Political Report now forecasts that House Democrats are on track for a narrow net gain of seats from redistricting nationwide, amid a cycle that has proven far more favorable to Democrats than many expected. @CookPolitical

Of course the media can be counted on to do their stuff for the Dems:
Because gerrymandering.
And the media will let them get away with the staggering hypocrisy. https://t.co/cI4eAIXHOR

Dems only consider redistricting “cheating” if Republicans do it.
