If it was about gerrymandering then we would see substantial if minority motion toward impeachment. Gerrymandering tends to marginalize positions, but what we see there is general absence of the position.

No, my own experience from talking to people all across the country is that people don't pay attention to what their representatives are doing. They empower and re-elect representatives who act against voters' preferences, and sadly the voters are just not aware that it happens.

In this particular case I see a ton of people not realizing that impeachment is the solution at all. They aren't asking for it because they don't realize it is the thing they need to be asking for.

We can't really blame gerrymandering for this situation when the problem is much deeper: people are getting the representatives they want to vote for, but they are sadly misinformed and therefore voting for the wrong representatives.
