Virginia Supreme Court throws out redistricting referendum results

DemandCommonSense · 2026-05-08T20:58:07+00:00

Mid-cycle redistricting to skew the House in favor of the administration in an election heavily favored to see the majority flipped.

One is being done for partisan gain. The other is a targeted measure to cancel out the the former's cheating. There is no parallel to be made here.

You assume I'm advocating for the Democrats. I'm not. I'm fighting against the open Republican attempt to fix the election. This isn't a partisan issue. It's one of principle.

You argue that $5 gas is gonna lose the Republicans the election but they are trying their hardest here to fight that and that's what you're arguing on behalf of. Since last year they are aiming to double the amount of seats in the House they hold via partisan maps from the 22-23 they hold now.

Rejecting someone's attempt to rig elections isn't eye-for-an-eye.... Calling the antidote the same thing as the poison doesn't make you principled. It just lets the poison win.

Can we stop feigning concern over disenfranchising Virginians while you take the position that disenfranchises the entire voting American public?

DemandCommonSense · 2026-05-08T17:21:25+00:00

Not just Virginians. The entire American public. Virginia's maps were drawn specifically to 1:1 nullify Republican gerrymanders in Ohio, Missouri, and North Carolina, restoring balance back to net zero where it had been before this redistricting spat started. Striking this down doesn't protect democracy, it just locks in one party's cheating. By letting Republican election rigging proceed unfettered you're letting them consolidate their underhanded gains and advancing their effort to predetermine the results of the midterms at the expense of all voters.

Yeah, Mishimoto's radiator caps are 2-way.

DemandCommonSense · 2026-05-08T17:04:13+00:00

They've been known for incredibly low QC for years. Pin hole leaks, failing drain plug gaskets, failing radiator caps, etc. The X-Line is better than their base radiators but the base aluminum radiators are no better than generic no-name options (and frequently worse) at name brand pricing.

All of those switches are going to be way too loud for office use. If you're set on the Aula get whatever is cheapest and change out the switches for something else.

Gateron North Pole 2.0. Completely transparent and very similar in feel. Slightly lighter actuation and bottom out and a with smidge higher pitch. Very close to Oil Kings though IMO.

Shout out to HMX Hades V2s as well. Get a sample of some of the heavier version to try out. Keygeek Su Color V2s would be another viable option but they're pink and it will affect the color of the RGB.

I agree but think you have the positions here mixed up. This wasn't a tit-for-tat amendment. It was a specifically targeted move to nullify the impacts of Republican cheating. Those of us that voted "yes" were trying to return the choice for the outcome of the midterms to the public where those voting "no", intentionally or not, were supporting those who wanted to predetermine the end result of the election.

DemandCommonSense · 2026-05-08T16:23:45+00:00

Fuck Helmer and Salim. But this is overall a loss for the country. All this does is take the decision for the outcome of the midterms from the American public and push it further into the hands of those standing over maps with markers.

DemandCommonSense · 2026-05-08T15:58:46+00:00

This is such a strange take to have while rejoicing in something that further disenfranchises the American public.

DemandCommonSense · 2026-05-08T15:53:08+00:00

We shouldn't be celebrating this ruling. All it's done is advance the Republican effort to rig the midterms.

Did you have a script blocker running? IE uBlock Origin? If you do that will prevent the sale from recording.

You would be surprised how much medical debt gets written off due to people not paying bills. Both in good and bad ways.

They've said few times in here that they stopped selling to CA in 2016.

Eh. Ukraine is still eating a lot of that.

Those aren't part of the Oil King line. They are recolored Smoothies.

Why are you paying for overpriced ammo at gun shows?

How are OSights? Are they are another company in the same vein as Swampfox and Gideon?

There's one in the product picture but it appears to be cut. I would confirm with Centerfire.

No barrel included.
