To win, Democrats must welcome a big tent of voters. "That means welcoming people in. That means making the coalition as wide as possible. That means talking to voters who didn’t vote Democratic last time, or the time before that, rather than assuming they’re permanent losses. Every percentage point of increased turnout in a gerrymandered district is a direct counter to the map.
A pro-democracy coalition is not a niche coalition. It is, by definition, a majoritarian one. The maps want Democrats to fight in a smaller box. The answer is to refuse to fight in the box at all."
A life/long educator, what the hell are we communicating to our youth? Cheating, bullying, and lying are okay? This is a smack in the face of democracy. Those who condescend to this authoritarian regime will pay the ultimate price!
I hope it happens but there are so many uneducated brainwashed bigoted racist white supremacist and just dumb republicans who just will keep voting in people like Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins and so many more spineless GOP politicians
It’s probably not happening, but I wish data were being kept so we could measure the effects — if any — of the 45, 47 presidency period on young people. I’d like to look at whether there was an increase in crime, like fraud, embezzlement, sexual assault, extortion, the behaviors trump modelled.
How in the hell can they overrule the vote of the people. This is the reason we just moved to Portugal,,we are not going to stay in a country where a vote is meaningless
Good for you. I guess you're one of the lucky ones. For me, if I could, it would be either Canada 🇨🇦 which is incredibly difficult I bet. Or Spain 🇪🇸. But the USA 🇺🇸 has fallen to fascism and autocracy because too many Americans love to rest in their laurels and do nothing.
It is truly a sad commentary that I find myself apologizing to people we meet over here, They just celebrated their Independence Day two weeks ago
On April 25th, 1974 a peaceful military coup led by leftist military officers brought about freedom for the Portuguese people and a transition to Democracy
They absolutely hate Trump and everything he is doing to America and the world.
I’m not saying yall should do what the people here did to gain their freedom, but what I am saying is if the Democratic Party doesn’t step up and give back twice what’s given them you could be under a dictatorship for the next 40 years like the good people of Portugal lived thru.
Trump is moving at lightning speed to accomplish his and Putins goal of wiping out Democracy
Remember just 18 or so months ago the freedoms we all had under President Biden. Remember how EVERYTHING he did , he did for the people, all people.
Now look back what has happened in just 16 months, you have a Criminal in office who has undone all the good things that had been accomplished. Has broken more laws, has increased his wealth by a minimum of 5 billion dollars, All of it illegally. And has all but put democracy in his rear view mirror.
With that I will step back, and quote a true dictator and his CHUMP Trump…
You’re a lucky one, Ray. You were really smart. I tried to get out by about 2017, that was already too much for me, and a relative’s illness came on, and I stayed. I could have gone, and I obviously should have. I just couldn’t believe he’d be re-elected. 🤣😭
If Desantes said no to the Supreme Court then why can’t Virginia say no to the Supreme Court of Virginia and just do it. Dems need to fight fire with fire
Exactly. It is one of my criticism of the Democrats they love to fight with kid gloves and walk a straight and narrow line. Which will be completely fine if we lived in normal times. Since we're not. They need to fight dirty, tooth and nail, like ferocious beasts to beat these demons at their game. No more being nice with these fascist assholes.
💯 right, enough of these criminal republican ways, if you let them get away with this, next will be life term presidency, we definitely don't want that, or Donny Jr. or Ivanka to be able to step in, we need to get the Epstein files out so people can see trump for what he is a PEDOPHILE RAPIST, everyone including the 80 million who didn't vote in last election need to register and vote blue, every Native American, people of color and different religions beliefs, if trump gets his way, ovens will be installed at these concentration camps, he is Hitler 2, if you have heard his hateful evil rhetoric you must believe he will do the same, he wants to be in the history books, ICE Gestapo is being built to be his army, democrats MUST, stop all funding, the GOP are asking for billions more for weapons and recruitment of white supremacist who believe in what trump wants to do, Make America a White Christian Nationalist country. VOTE BLUE people we need to win big this November and have Democrats have investigations day and night until these criminals are all jailed including the GOP politicians who have been complicit of trumps crimes, Comer, Jordan Graham they all need to be jailed, so many are so corrupt.
If the dems don’t fight the same way as the Republicans then we are going to lose our democracy for years to come. I personally don’t like the idea but I don’t want to lay down and let this administration strip away our democracy. This is not what my family members fought and died for.
I wish MAGA could watch real news stations not just domestic news but also about Hungary and what Orban did to his country what Putin is doing to Russia with his Oligarchs and his kick backs that trump is doung now, Kim Un Jong, has nuclear weapons ready to fire on America, but trump got love letters from his boyfriend Kim, so doung nothing, trump is the weakest and dumbest president ever, he has destroyed this country and destroyed the world's economy. MAGA WTFU read real news open those eyes gas gas been over $4 for a while and this summer you will be paying more on gas, food, utilities and more, how dumb are these 30%ers who believe in this CONVICTED FELON, GUILTY OF SEXUALY ASSAULTING ONE WOMEN ACCUSED BY MANY MORE, what will it take MAGA, it's not fake news that he is in the Epstein files thousands of times and raped and abuse children.
American Apartheid coming to MAGA States near you via Supreme Court, Heritage Foundation Project 2025 & our very own self admitted p**ssy grabber, adjudicated sexual abuser, convicted felon & racist Donald J Trump
The Virginia legislature should now just call a special session and re-draw the maps, just like TX, TN, FL, LA, and NC did. Just call it a partisan gerrymander (just like the other R states did). If the 9 corrupt SCOTUS hacks try to claim it’s illegal for VA (but not for TX TN NC LA FL), they will have to do some extraordinary legal gymnastics (which I am sure they will try) to justify that hypocrisy.
Fuck it… VA tried to do it via referendum and let the people decide and they got shivved. So, Just do it, VA. Just f’kng do it.
Waj's comment early in, to have the VA (via Gov. Spanberger) ledge go back and make a law legalizing the redrawn maps that the voters voted in. I think it's a great idea, and go for it. Also, loved the story about Karachi airport.
We "hear from" goebbelsmiller at every illegal, unconstitutional, immoral, murderous atrocity every hour of every day. pedostein and his junk drawer are just the circus clowns.
Republicans don't want to win elections, they want to steal elections and gloat about delicious liberal tears and taunt...."what you gonna do about it losers?"
I'm a Virginian and I'm fucking mad as hell! I supported Spanberger but my god, she had no fire in the belly. This is the the shit that depresses the voted.
I'll always still vote for the Democrat. It's a must. But Jesus Christ!
I think Virginians should make a thunderstorm out of this. Their vote is meaningless to their "Supreme court"? Raise some hell, it is not OK! It is anti-democracy!
Should we push Jay Jones to appeal the recent Virginia Supreme Court decision? Red states just ram in without putting it to constituents. It really makes me angry that it was put to the voters and they were overridden by a biased court. I am quite tired of the Fox Entertainment BS propaganda led information, which is LYING to people. Rupert Murdoch is a b@$tard for rewarding lying. So sorry for ranting….I am tired of this $hit
You are doing the right thing, speaking out. Too many people don't give a damn, that is one reason we are in the fix we find ourselves in! We are in this together, and that is because we care for democracy and the future. Murdoch makes Billions telling lies!
Too Big To Rig 💙🇺🇸
Let's hope the fuckers don't suspend the midterms. If they dare we need to revolt. BIG TIME.
They will claim a national emergency and suspend the midterms.
Well, then they would have a very rude awakening.

Absolutely. Taking our votes is the red line, especially since they’ve already suppressed the hell out of the process.
Yep!
This is my hard line, and should be the line for all liberty loving patriots!!

Right Waj dummy mander on the national stage
The 36 % that sat out in 24 must get out and vote every time now
How in the hell can they overrule the vote of the people. This is the reason we just moved to Portugal,,we are not going to stay in a country where a vote is meaningless
Good for you. I guess you're one of the lucky ones. For me, if I could, it would be either Canada 🇨🇦 which is incredibly difficult I bet. Or Spain 🇪🇸. But the USA 🇺🇸 has fallen to fascism and autocracy because too many Americans love to rest in their laurels and do nothing.
Agree totally! Wish I could go to Canada 🇨🇦 too!
Portugal is reasonable, if available.

Thank you for your attention in this matter

time to fight back democrats, dont let these Republicans get away with their bigoted racist BS
If Desantes said no to the Supreme Court then why can’t Virginia say no to the Supreme Court of Virginia and just do it. Dems need to fight fire with fire

Probably the Germans were just like this. They likely didn’t believe what was happening until it was too late.
Yes, it's horrific. If only people would learn from history!
It wasn’t fine in normal times, it just took this long to see the impact of being the only ones adhering to the rules 🙄
💯 right, enough of these criminal republican ways, if you let them get away with this, next will be life term presidency, we definitely don't want that, or Donny Jr. or Ivanka to be able to step in, we need to get the Epstein files out so people can see trump for what he is a PEDOPHILE RAPIST, everyone including the 80 million who didn't vote in last election need to register and vote blue, every Native American, people of color and different religions beliefs, if trump gets his way, ovens will be installed at these concentration camps, he is Hitler 2, if you have heard his hateful evil rhetoric you must believe he will do the same, he wants to be in the history books, ICE Gestapo is being built to be his army, democrats MUST, stop all funding, the GOP are asking for billions more for weapons and recruitment of white supremacist who believe in what trump wants to do, Make America a White Christian Nationalist country.

FIGHT!!! 🔥
Bannon has planned this, he is one of the think tank members who are behind this corruption.
Why haven’t we heard from Miller in a long time ?
He's busy getting off on poking out the eyes of baby rabbits , in some dark room.

I'll always still vote for the Democrat. It's a must. But Jesus Christ!
Time to write the Governor. You have a great point!
I just did.✊️
All blue states need to look around, see what is happening in red states, and enter the fight ASAP.
I voted YES in Virginia. I am angry. 🤬💩😡🤬💩
I think Virginians should make a thunderstorm out of this. Their vote is meaningless to their "Supreme court"? Raise some hell, it is not OK! It is anti-democracy!

You are most definitely right. I am tired of the Kakistocracy running all over the voters saying "NO" We will not stand for this. 😡
Fight VA you voted and the court needs to stop sucking up to Trump
