If I vote yes, when I drive from OT to Tysons I think I go through like 4-5 different congressional districts. All politics are ridiculous.

Republicans think it’s ridiculous. Except now we have another war, ever growing deficits, a bunch of utter incompetents running the government, and the erosion of rights for everyone but white Christian men. Thats horrifying, not ridiculous.

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

You seem unfamiliar with the VA GA.

You win some, you lose some. Next time make sure you’ve got the cards before you raise.

Can Virginia double the number of Representatives we have?

Keeping republicans in power means the erosion of democracy. Sadly, the republican controlled Congress has not shown any willingness to restrain Trump from starting wars, ICE shooting citizens in the street, imposing tariffs, or running massive deficits so the Pentagon can spend millions on king crabs.

The republicans don’t follow the rules. They cheat and profit from their lies. This is where we are as a country. You can roll over and let them continue to run ever larger deficits and lie about bombing schools or you can fight back. Up to you to decide what country you want to live in.

Exactly.

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

I’m an independent, but these ARE dirty tricks, no matter who is doing them. And the tricks and propaganda are coming from the left this time. I cannot believe the “restore fairness” wording on the actual official ballot.

This is wrong, no matter who is doing it. Vote no.

A no vote is a vote for republicans to keep doing this in red states and then dominate congress in perpetuity. The only way to stop it is to counter it and then get a national anti-gerrymandering law.

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

I cannot imagine ANYONE thinking that they want to elect more Democrats to represent them.

This is the lamest come back. That’s all the Republicans have, Congress, controlled by Republicans, can’t pass the DHS budget, and that the Dems fault.

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.

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

If they're running against a MAGA candidate, they'll get my vote.

This won’t pass. Next.

It’s going to pass overwhelmingly. Just like it did in CA.
