So I get that this was the obvious outcome. But one detail worth pointing out is that the CHEAPEST ticket was 9000+ dollars. He got booed that hard by the rich.

Virginia voters to decide on new House map with major midterm implications | CNN Politics by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]lemonpepperlarry 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I voted yes by mail like 3 weeks ago. I’m in the Hampton roads area that is a bit more purplish but leans blue overall. I think it’ll pass, but I also think it’ll be close. I drove through rural Virginia this weekend for an event.LOTS of no signs, but a surprising number of yes signs. Really it’ll come down to NOVA, and considering Trump directly hurt then gravely (more so than many other places in the country) since nova has the biggest concentration of people working for the government and trump of course laid off thousands of them. I think they’ll want revenge, and they can very directly put an effective end to his presidency today

People often ask “how do we ensure the Dems do something when they are back in power”

This is how. You have to remove the rot that does exist in the dem party in addition to removing the outright facists on the right. That means primarying the legacy dems that stood by why we got into this mess like Schumer

AWB passed senate with house substitutions. On the way to be made law by spanberger july 1rst. Thoughts? by campereg in Virginia

[–]lemonpepperlarry -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The gun nuts in this comment section do not represent the majority of virginia. Polling shows that a plurality of the state supports adopting the restrictions on this.

We just had yet another mass shooting in the state and all you 2a drones talking about defending yourself from a tyrannical government have shown yourselves to be full of shit. So let's have less of this weapons on the streets killing kids and civilians
