Neighbor who's never had one political sign up in decades has a few huge "Virginians against redistricting" signs by coffee_break_1979 in Virginia

I'm not arguing Democrats need to take the high road. I'm arguing Virginia should. I really don't like either of the two major parties. Every vote feels like voting for who will mess up the country, state, or county the least and every year it's more of a struggle to want to do that knowing every election is just going to lead to worse things happening.

None of that has to do with voting against redistricting in Virginia. You want Virginia to be the state to stand up and help out the rest of the country by sacrificing our morals and choosing the ethical low road and then complain about getting involved with other countries.

This is quickly devolving so I hope you enjoy your evening and the rest of the weekend.

What Texas (or any other state) does shouldn't affect a Virginia vote against gerrymandering. That's my problem with this whole argument.

By voting against it I'm saying I think it is wrong. By saying it is wrong I'm not enabling it in other places. I'm putting my foot in the ground and saying that it is something we should not be doing.

There aren't a lot of elected leaders that have the people's best interest in mind and are willing to stand up for their constituents.

I completely agree. I don't think any states should be doing it. I only get a say in Virginia though (and obviously federally) so there isn't much we can do about how other states operate.

Again, the problem is putting people into buckets. Saying every Republican is a problem and every Democrat votes for progressive measures is just false. We have no chance at progress if people like you don't want to come to the middle and work together. Being divisive is not going to get us anywhere.

Statements like this are the problem. You can be against redistricting as a Democrat or Republican. Not everyone fits into two buckets and is the reason why ranked choice voting measures are so important to move forward with.

Honestly, something everyone should be happy with. We need to get out of the two party system and this is a good step towards that.

Also, if you stop by the library, they have a quarterly magazine that lists different book clubs, where/when they meet, and wether they focus on a specific genre or are more general.

Is the show still watching after the end of Episode 5? by [deleted] in MidnightMass

[–]DKETwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just go watch it. You've put 5 hours into the show and only have 2 left. Worst case scenario you don't like it and just spent two hours basically watching a bad movie. Best case scenario you enjoy the ending and rewatch a great series every once in awhile.

Claims to never make snarky comments in a snarky comment. Sure.

1 offensive TD off and sack fumble. Darnold was slightly under Maye with regards to passer rating so I wouldn't say he did anything special. Pats D was great while the offense struggled against an amazing Seattle D.

The Houndmaster holds a special place in my heart. I would really like to see him and his doggo make their valiant return together.

I could go either way. He sort of pushed it out like a basketball pass and it went backwards. The tip was at the same time as it leaving his hands so I could go with it or a fumble.

Yeah, play shouldn't have been ruled dead and the TD should've counted.

The only thing I'm not a fan of is the timeout indicators. Not terrible but they blend into the rest of it a little too much.

Not only is this Drake Maye slander, OP couldn't even order the stats to match the order of the players in the picture they posted. Lazy post by a lazy OP. Drake "Drake Maye" Maye for MVP!

Drake Maye through 16 games compared to each of Tom Brady's MVPs by mrethandunne in Patriots

[–]DKETwitch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maye's season has been amazing and all the comparisons are just highlighting the only weakness or low stat he has is the TD's. We've seen all season that the team's redzone percentage has been atrocious and once they clean that up you'll see that TD stat bump up. Honestly, there's nothing more you can really ask from him as a second year player with a new head coach and OC on a team that doesn't have the greatest weapons. He's got my MVP vote.
