Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

jfc you are literally confusing Democratic led gerrymandering and GOP led gerrymandering in this conversation thread and then you want to make claims regarding reading comprehension.
Thank you for continuing to confirm you can't read for shit.
Because no I didn't.
They just want to be right, that's all it comes down to. They do this a lot around here, they simply refuse to consider anything but their own opinion, so when someone challenges that, they lose their mind and thus their reading comprehension. They also love to twist your words to make it seem like you're the one that doesn't understand (as they've done to several people, including myself, in this thread).
I'm absolutely right that these seats in Virginia are critical for Dems taking the house in November. I'm also right in that simply relying on voter sentiment around "how bad Republicans are" is a strategic disaster for Democrats, consistent with the manner in which Democrats have developed most of their electoral losses over the previous 3 decades. If thats the Democrats strategy for responding to continuous and ongoing gerrymandering by republicans, they're cooked. Sentiment can only carry you so far when the board is allowed to be so structurally disadvantageous towards one side.
If you have a problem with something specific I've said go pick it out instead of having a little circle jerk side bar. I'm correct both in-fact and in analysis on these issues. Parliment is literally confusing two separate but related topics around gerrymandering. You don't need me to tell you that, you can just read the words they write.
