Virginia, Democrats are spending tens of millions of dollars to buy 4 congressional seats. They’ve even resurrected President Obama in their quest to gerrymander the Commonwealth. Get everyone you know in VA to vote 👉NO👈 — tomorrow — April 21st.

@jjverdi @MikeCanning7 The fact you have no representation in those states is because you either run shitty candidates or you can’t get voter turnout from your base. Why is that somehow our problem?

So in basically a 50-50 vote the Democrats just disenfranchised Virginia voters 91-9. Don’t ever lecture us about democracy again. It’s a tyrannical party that values power over people. They hate you. Even if you’re one of them. You’re a useful idiot and nothing more.

@WI_RightNow I love how you delude yourself into thinking that Republicans are making these hostile moves for “good and “righteous reasons” when really you just have an insatiable appetite for power and completely crash out when you get beaten at your own game. Pathetic.

@MeghanMcCain What a pathetic attempt at fearmongering. Focus on your fucked up hairdos and not what the people Virginia decide to do in a free & fair election.

If you live in Virginia, remember to vote NO on the communist takeover of elections today.

@reinxraiden @Scoobs75R @harryjsisson @ScottPresler I mean, his only insult was that Harry is gay so I might as well use it back on him since he sees it as such a detriment. And also because he looks super fucking dumb wearing that thing. 🤷‍♂️

@lamps_apple @harryjsisson @ScottPresler Sparnburger didn’t overrule anything, the Supreme Court of Virginia is who upheld the referendum and allowed it to move forward signaling that voters — not courts — should decide whether to authorize the change. This is fully legal. You’re just pissed you’re getting outplayed.

Texas didn’t ask voters to violate their constitution to do it.. Their state constitution and statutes allow the legislature to redraw districts whenever it wants, as long as it passes a new map through the normal legislative process. It did. It passed. Yet in Virginia they are supposed to have a bipartisan Redistricting Commission… Spanberger overruled their decision… 8 legislators + 8 citizens, created by a constitutional amendment that Voters themselves approved in 2020 to reduce partisan gerrymandering. The state constitution explicitly assigns this to the commission every 10 years. The legislature does not have unilateral power to redraw congressional maps mid-decade under their current rules So democrats are asking voters to “temporarily” violate their own constitution after adding the commission just 6 years ago… explicitly to avoid what they are now asking them to do..

Gonna need some of these states to lift themselves up by the bootstraps and become self sufficient.
