That's not related to gerrymandering though, which is why I think the post you're replying to is confused.
The unfairly low representation of large states in the Senate is a huge issue, but it's not what "gerrymandering" means.

Forgive my wording, gerrymandering is the primary tool used by the GOP to control the USA. It's their strongest tool to cheat their way into elections, we've seen that clearly in North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
If we actually followed the spirit and intentions of the founding fathers, then California would already be grossly under-represented. Add to that the way the GOP rigs the elections via gerry-mandering and . voter suppression, and Californians are treated like slaves, not citizens.
They have all forgotten the battle cry of the republic, "NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION".

The fact is a state with 38 million people and a GDP equivalent to 20% of the nation should have more representation than moscow mitch's welfare state of kentucky.
