The article makes a decent case that gerrymandering is not the primary cause of Congress's increasing polarization, but that's obvious enough just from the fact that the Senate's become more polarized too. The real problem with gerrymandering is that it undermines our democratic process by allowing the composition of the legislature to become less representative of the popular will (and does so entirely for the sake of partisan interests).
