AOC said it best when she said, “Wah wah wah.” I can’t help but see children every time I see Republican white men whining about injustice.



This is going to result in Democrats winning 10 of Virginia's 11 House districts. Reminder: Virginia is purple state. That's completely ridiculous. Why don't you just ban Republicans from voting altogether?


If 48.5% of Virginians vote repuplican but maps reduce them to just 1 of 11 seats (9.1%), then nearly half the state has been compressed into only 9% representation.

That means they lost about 81% of their political voice when seats are allocated.


Ok. If you don’t like that then push the GOP to ban gerrymandering.


Why? So you can do a popular vote and remove representation.



Why? To end gerrymandering.

Are you ok with gerrymandering or not?

They're ok with gerrymandering as long as it's Republicans who're doing it.

Well, it seems that some Virginia Republicans and some Texas Democrats probably have in common frustration over the erosion of their political voice. Interesting.

The smart money was always on the courts striking this down if it succeeded at the ballot box.

Huh? It was literally just put to a vote in the state and the state voted for the gerrymander. If it's a state issue, Virginia has spoken.

+1 If there was a national ban, Virginia would have left its state ban in place.

Politicians gaming the rules to nullify the votes of people they don't like is some shady fkcng business, and this genie does not go back in the bottle. When Republicans come back into power, as they inevitably will, I'm surely they do the same thing to Democrats, but worse. It's never just tit for tat.


Gerrymandering is stupid. It disenfranchises voters. It makes Congress *completely* dysfunctional. And it sets off an endless cycle of retribution between the parties. All if this is especially dumb because Democrats are going to win the House and Senate, anyway, even without this.


Ballot initiatives are how the powers that be get stupid people who don't know anything to approve dumb ideas.

My favorite is how they say it's only "temporary." It's never, ever, ever temporary. Do not believe any politician, Democrat or Republican, who says something is only for the time being.

It's temporary because the maps are statutorily required to be redrawn after the 2030 Census.

Are you actually this stupid or just pretending to be?

Exactly, it is a republic, which is why we are not supposed to let simple majorities set election policy.
