@ETI_now

The Tazewell court blocked it prior to the election as well, then was overruled.

Yep. Democracy in Virginia died in broad daylight.

Rare for democracy to die via referendum. Unprecedented even.

The hypocrisy is stunning. TX legislature forcing it through, dandy. Voters supporting it? Anti Democratic!

Democrats apparently are just supposed to sit there while Republicans steal things.

Well, see, Republicans deserve to be in power whether the people want them there or not!

The richest counties in VA will now control the poorest counties. Think about that

You mean the counties that voted for Trump?

What’s the issue?

I guess if you believe you are smarter than a poor person, nothing.

Certainly more than the MAGA poor people.

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?

Because it impacts control of the US Congress. Why is it ok for one state to cheat and another not to be able to retaliate?

See, this is the issue - GOP thinks Texas gerrymandering is fine, that the Koch Lock on Wsconsin and Missouri are fine, that Ohio gerrymadering is great - but when a blue state does it to try to balance it out, the MAGAs get all salty. Rules for thee but not for me.

Honey it impacts control of half the Congress, the House. Cannot get laws without Senate. All the hearings and investigations in the world don't mean shit to a prez who does not care about rule of law.

So…sit back and do nothing?

That is what Republicans want Democrats to do, yes.

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

yes everyone should be not sure why that matters here we are in va are you one of those people who think its ok to assault your spouse because the neighbor does it

Well, I woke up this morning to major Republicans insisting Florida should gerrymander so no, everyone clearly isn’t against it. Democrats are though, since they’ve tried to pass national legislation against it.

Why don’t you think about this. Farming communities and depressed states like West Virginia have been voting against their interests for decades. Has WV gotten any been in the decades of Republican rule? Have fertilizers, tariffs, and gasoline prices crushed Republican strong hold rural states? Yes. Farm bankruptcies (Chapter 12) jumped 46% in 2025.

While the purpose was to counter a lawless Gerrymandering Republican Party who consistently vote against federal bans, perhaps this will have the effect of actually helping people. You know Dems don’t want to give Elon another tax break, levy a tariff on farming equipment, or take away healthcare.

Maybe farmers should stop sending food to nova. That'd get you to shut up really quick.

Debating MAGA is like debating my cat. Hey genius. Farmers make money by SELLING their food, not “sending it to NOVA.” Not to mention they make more by sending it to, checks notes…the wealthiest area of VA where people will pay a premium and aren’t living off their EBT card. You sound a little like a socialist actually - trying to interfere with capitalism.

There's no issue, PP is just worried that Democrats will actually help those poor VA counties instead of flogging culture war wedge issues like their current Republican representatives do.

Yeah, imagine having a representative who actually wants to help people in their district m.

Give Ds a chance. You might actually appreciate having someone who cares about your health, education, job, economy, etc.

I'm from MA. I know the future.

2nd best K-12 schools in the country, 3rd lowest property crimes in the country, 4th lowest murder rate in the country, 2nd highest median household income in the country (outside of DC), best hospitals in the country, 3rd lowest obesity rates in the country, and 2nd best human development index score in the country?

That's fantastic news! Virginians, and especially ROVA, should be jumping for joy!

It’s a waste of time to present facts in a debate with MAGAs.

They will just put on blinders and believe whatever “alternative facts” support their narrative.

Kinda funny how the same crowd that was delighted every time a judge inserted themselves into a Trump policy and stopped it, are now outraged that a judge should derail something they care about.


Too bad. This is the other side of your coin.

I don’t see any outrage here. Can you describe the outrage, sir?

Who is outraged? This judge already tried and failed to block the election.

The Supreme Court said they could go ahead with the election and they would rule later. So, we'll have to wait and see.
