| I hope the Democrats get their map, but Republicans have made themselves so thoroughly hated across americ and that I don't think it matters. Republican can't be trusted to govern and everyone who isn't a white male with high school terminal education or less knows it |

Tell us you know nothing about how bills are passed in Congress (although I am betting you do). Here is a primer: It takes 60 votes in the Senate to pass the DHS funding bill. Republicans have 53 members. That means that at least 7 Democrats would have to vote to fund our TSA, Coast Guard, Secret Service, and FEMA employees. So far, Fetterman is the only reasonable Democrat to ensure that these people are paid, Chuckie Schumer is telling his members not to vote for this bill because he is beholden to the radical members in Congress and in NY. He has to appear to be part of "The Resistance." The "common sense" measures they are pushing for ICE are not common sense at all. In fact, you can bet if the Democrats claim something is "common sense," it is just the opposite. Face masks are worn by agents because 1) the radical protesters are trying to dox them and 2) cartels have put bounties on their heads. And judicial warrants? That would ensure that no illegal aliens would be picked up since a judicial warrant would only be issued if a FEDERAL law was broken - most of these illegal aliens have violated STATE laws. But, sanctuary cities and states refuse to pick them up and ensure they are taken off their streets. |

LOL. Democrats are less popular than ICE. You can sit this one out. |

| All you Democrats kissing the pols' rings...yes this will pass. Elections have consequences and you aren't even thinking about the unintended ones. I voted no. Am an independent who votes blue but hates all political parties. |

Exactly. Some people are ok letting corrupt, incompetent a-holes go unchecked. Others aren't. |

It's cute that you think the Virginia legislature is anything other than white Christian men. |

Can Virginia double the number of Representatives we have? |

You seem unfamiliar with the VA GA.

The guy on the first page who said that it's funny to watch Republicans whine about this because Democrats have finally decided to play by the same set of rules that Republicans do is spot on. Spare me all the pearl-clutching now that Democrats have realized that Republicans will never stop bringing guns to knife fights.
Congressional Democrats have proposed bills than ban partisan gerrymandering, but Republicans refuse to back it. I wonder why! |

The fact that you don’t recognize the propaganda also being sent from Dems tells me all I need to know. (And yes, both R’s and D’s are guilty of this). I am voting NO because the voters already voted for a bipartisan redistricting commission. People in Danville are not represented by voters in Richmond. The tidewater residents do not have the same concerns as Alexandrians. Sorry you think it’s “not fair” that other states did things differently but I want everyone’s vote in my state to count. Even yours although I likely disagree with 99.99% of your beliefs. |

OP or anyone telling me how to vote simply does not work for me. In fact, it is offensive.
No one has the right to tell another how to vote. |

Telling you how to vote is a tried-and-true First Amendment right. It's a shame MAGAs like you try to pick and choose the parts of the Constitution that suit your parochial worldview and discard the rest. |

Just admit it, you really have no idea what you are talking about. Republicans may be trying to catch up, but this has long been a Democrat play. |
