Yep. Democracy in Virginia died in broad daylight.

So support a national gerrymandering ban. If you don't, it is just hypocrisy.

Meanwhile people in DC do not have any congressional representation so... Shrug.

I do support one. I’m disgusted. The only good that came out of this is that Dems have come out of the closet proving themselves to be mirrors of MAGA. The is no denying it anymore. NONE. What we share in common is a disdain for Trump. Where we part is autonomy for the people. They don’t like Trump because they don’t like his brand of authoritarianism. They are ok with it as long as it is theirs.

That's a bizarre framing of the issue. If Republicans are going to continue playing dirty, Democrats need to play by the same rules to remain competitive. That's all there is to it. You'd really rather Trump and his Republican enablers run roughshod over the country while Democrats sit on their hands tut-tutting?

NO! I want both parties eliminated and replaced.

And I want a mansion on Nantucket for a nickel. But we play cards with the hand we're dealt.

+1

Put on your big girl panties and stop throwing tantrums.

Oh please. The MAGA hand wringing is absurd. Trump’s nominees literally will not admit in their confirmation hearings that Trump lost the 2020 election. The level of insanity from MAGA cannot be understated and their willingness to lie and cheat to hold power is unprecedented.

Says the pot calling the kettle black.

Do you think Trump lost the election in 2020?

Democrats are inconveniently attached to facts and reality.

So you are again supporting this nonsense rather than working for actual change. I guess you enjoy political theater rather than helping people.

In order to effect actual change, you need to have power. You can't change the system lobbing bombs from the sidelines. Grow up.

Don't forget to write to your Republican representatives to tell them to stop opposing Democratic efforts to ban partisan gerrymandering!

Fairfax county representatives should not be representing counties farther away from them than New Jersey is to them. Larger states, it can be necessary (TX can take 10+ hours to drive across, for instance.)

two wrongs dont make a right and that is a texas issue not a virginia, why would you take away almost half the population's vote for an issue in texas?

Virginians correctly perceived that other states' gerrymandering affects the entire country. Look at how few Republicans are willing to stand up to the most nakedly corrupt and incompetent administration we've ever had. If Republicans in other states continue to entrench their majority, the only response is for Democrats to play by the same rules.

I'm glad we both agree that it is terrible that Republicans refuse to ban partisan gerrymandering.

No votes were taken away. You can still vote Republican.

Yep, Dems have been fighting gerrymandering for years. They're behind antigerrymandering laws in many states. But they can't just let Republicans steal the house by letting them do this unanswered.

I guess all red-leaning states will change their districts to be 90% red, just like Virginia did for the Democrats. Interesting idea, I could imagine those on the negative side will move to another state, maybe it will balance things out.

So you’re vehemently opposed to efforts to redraw Florida, right?

60% of the Dems in our family mailed in their ballots.

MAGAs are too dumb to figure it out.

The mail in numbers should not be such outliers. You’re implying that most Democrats mailed in their ballots. If that’s so, why are there so many democrats booths at the polls?

There are not "democrat booths" at the polls. there are just....booths.
