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?


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.


The people who support this are effectively voting to disenfranchise people they don't agree with. When democracy in America ends, you can say you did your small part.


What do you think would have been an appropriate response to Texas’ efforts to pass laws that VA must abide by, having supressed its voters?

Just like we saw from posters on this thread all these weeks leading up to the vote.


Interesting. Seems voters were clear on the referendum.

DP. Something that follows the law would have been a good start. The VA Dems tried to cheat to try do their cheating. You can’t make this stuff up.

Nearly one hundred pages and not once has a Republican voter said “Gee, we should ban gerrymandering at the national level and work across the aisle.”

That really says it all.

There's been quite a few people talking about how gerrymandering is evil. Politicians should not be allowed to pick their voters.

Then why weren’t you support a national man? Why won’t you work with Democrats to ban it completely across the country?

+1

Nor any self-awareness about *why* a state which has been against jerrymandering held their nose and said we need a credible check on the people in power.

Hope DOGE and the war in Iran were worth it.

Giving 10 out of 11 House seats to Democrats in an evenly divided state could hardly be more ridiculous.

There’s nothing in the law that says they can’t. Ask SCOTUS.

I agree it’s unfair. So I support the national band on political gerrymandering. Do you?

Great! Call your republican member of congress (while they still have a job) because they’re the ones blocking it.

No, they're not. You know nothing about politics. A bill like this would never pass Congress regardless of which party is in charge.
