I'm also an independent and moderate regarding many issues, which is why I wholeheartedly voted "No."  For the good of all.[/quote]

It’s such a lie that it’s temporary for one.  The district lines will stay in the new shapes, the old ones will never come back.  That is 1000% clear.  They mist chame the numbers slightly after the new census in a few years but the new districts will remain and never go back to previous.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.  “Because TX did it”, is not a valid argument.

Trump is done soon.  We will be stick with these nonsensical districts dividing small toens and counties into separate districts. [/quote]

+1 The whole “restoring fairness” thing is such a shameful lie. If I ever hear any of these partisan hacks (Spanberger and Obama included) whining about “protecting democracy” again I’m gonna puke. [/quote]

Rs love to pretend like they didn’t do anything wrong.

It's a response to the MAGA's power grab nationally.

Didn't hear you complaining about the Rs gerrymandering in TX, MO, NC, or UT.

[/quote]

Why the F would anyone on an anonymous DC message board complain about gerrymandering in those states, jackass?  They didn’t complain about gerrymandering in CA, MD or IL either.

What a dumb comment [/quote]

They isn’t about state legislators, it’s for the US Congress.

It’s a national issue, dipshit. 
[/quote]

WTF are you babbling about? State legislators?

I guess you’re so outraged by gerrymandering in CA, IL and MD that you’re not thinking clearly.

[/quote]

It’s not a STATE issue, it’s a NATIONAL issue.

I fully support disenfranchising MAGAs given that Rs have already done that to Ds. We all know the VA GOP would not have hesitated to do it if they had the chance. In a heartbeat.

[/quote]

If you support disenfranchising ANYONE, you can never again claim the high ground of pretend to care about “protecting democracy.”  All you care about is your party being in power. Not about democracy. It’s true that many Rs don’t care either, but Ds are the ones constantly claiming they’re protecting democracy. [/quote]

+1 The dishonesty is incredible. PP is outraged by gerrymandering until it benefits their "side" [/quote]

You are full of sht.

Ds have been pushing to ban gerrymandering for years.

Rs decide to go crazy with gerrymandering to protect Trump.

And think Ds should just sit around and NOT try to fight it?

You might be OK with Trump shitting all over our Constitution but most people are not.

No, PP. You’re full of shit and a perfect example of the dishonesty.  In 2020, after gaining power again in the VA legislature, it was the Democratic Party of Virginia that passed a resolution AGAINST the amendment for the bipartisan commission and they urged voters to vote against it. They overwhelmingly supported it in 2019 when the Republicans had power, then flip flopped to keep redistricting power to themselves when they could. That happened. It’s indisputable. So spare us all the sanctimonious nonsense about only R’s pulling this sort of crap. Virginia Dems were guilty of trying it then and they’re guilty of trying the same shit now. [/quote]

FACT: Dems have been pushing to ban gerrymandering for years.

Who has fought it? Rs.

The group of Dems who opposed the VA plan was concerned about the flaws, which turned out to be accurate. The Rs didn’t participate in good faith and the decision DID go to the conservative VA SC. So their concerns were warranted.

Rs decide to go crazy with gerrymandering to protect Trump.

And think Ds should just sit around and NOT try to fight it?

You might be OK with Trump shitting all over our Constitution but most people are not.
