The Democratic Party will sweep the House and possibly take the Senate, so long as we all go out and vote. Remember to vote in the midterms.

Good job, Virginia! Republicans want us to focus on whether ballots like this are moral while they barely question if their own efforts to disenfranchise democrats are legal.

Proud of my fellow Virginians tonight. We’ve gotta fight fire with fire & keep the pedal to the metal. See you all at the midterms!

First Spanberger killing it as the governor. Now THIS?! Four more Democratic seats in the House?!
Is it Christmas already?!

It’s kind of wild how they were saying it was the end of democracy if this passes but were dead silent when Texas did it.

You know, I hate gerrymandering just as much as the next person, but at least the maps in California and Virginia were approved by the voters, unlike the mid-decade gerrymandered GOP-approved maps (*cough* Texas and Missouri).

Currently +1 for Dems based on total actions to date, though some of the TX ones are on shaky ground so.. it could be more.
Good day!

Is it morally questionable? Kinda.
Is it amazing to see? Yes.

If only someone had warned the GOP about pulling that Texas stunt…

Fuck yeah!
Republicans start a fight, then lose it catastrophically.
I hope Trump is terrified.

Trump literally caused this.
“The special election is a major victory for Democrats as they seek to gain control of the narrowly divided House this fall. Democrats have now won statewide votes in California and Virginia to redraw congressional maps as part of a mid-decade redistricting arms race that began last year when President Donald Trump urged GOP-led states to alter their district lines.”

Thanks Abbot stooge of Trump. Maybe you can do another unethical sickening round of redistricting, check with your boss.

I remember when a certain contingency of the online left were acting like Spanberger getting elected was their 9/11. Glad she’s been just putting in work.

The screaming and crying on the GOP safe space sub is incredible.

This is Karma. Their plan to defraud the country by choosing their own voters backfired.
When this is finally over, we need massive reforms. Trump and MAGA exposed what can happen when bad actors are in charge.

I hate gerrymandering, but what else are you going to do with fascism rising in the country? Just sit on the moral high ground and watch?

Worked for Texas right? But it wasn’t put up for a vote.

Good. The only thing — and I mean the *only* thing — that is going to get Republicans on board with electoral reform that curtails partisan gerrymandering is them losing elections because of it.
It sucks it has to be that way, but when they gerrymander, you can’t just take the high road; that will just lose you election after election.
Fight fire with fire and you might eventually get out of the hole SCOTUS put American democracy in.
