[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With Dems now taking full control of VA, what do you think should be the very first thing (or #1 priority) to get done?

My answer: gun control. In fact I will be pissed if they focus on anything else off the bat and squander this opportunity.  [/quote]

Redistricting at VA and Fed level. Enfranchisement. Got to make sure it doesn't tip back.[/quote]

“By reenacting the constitutional amendment, Democrats could seize the high ground and preempt GOP accusations that they harbor a radical agenda. Redistricting reform is that rare commodity: good governance that doubles as smart politics.”

LOL good governance.[/quote]
Non-partisan redistricting by an independent commission IS good governance.[/quote]

And It won't "preempt GOP accusations" and wont be "smart politics." But democrats will likely fall for this middling liberal crap.[/quote]

Agree it won’t pre-empt GOP challenges but disagree it isn’t good politics. Why do you say that?[/quote]

Look  if you want to win political power... redistrict so you get the power. Don't think that people are going to vote for you more (and you'll get more political power) because you *didn't* redistrict.[/quote]
