    The Supreme Court rendered a just verdict. The gerrymandered Democrat map was unconstitutional.

    The rules must be followed.


    GOOD DAY

    Yet Florid has a anti gerrymandering clause yet nobody with a half a brain thinks they will void the gerrymandered maps that DeSantis passed. The only thing this VA ruling did was expose the rot in this country and set the nation up for a true revolution.

    MAGATs will never play fair and the sooner people realize this the better.

    You can't be serious

    As a reminder, Democrats cheated on a widespread basis in the swing states in the 2020 election, attempted to remove Trump's name from the ballot, selected Kamala Harris without a primary vote being cast, operated massive welfare/daycare/hospice fraud rings in numerous states, illegally fundraised for political donations from foreign governments, used lawfare to attempt to imprison and bankrupt Republican politicians, censored Republicans through leaning on Big Tech (and kicked Trump off social media), and staged fake media events to prosecute and demonize Republicans (Charlottesville, Jan 6)...

    So tell us more about "playing fair". LMAOOOOOOOOO


    GOOD DAY

    "democracts cheated in swing stages" this is why you can't take these braindead morons seriously. They live in an alternate reality shaped by foxnews. No matter how many audits or recounts they lose they'll spew the same garbage.

    Democrats need to go full throttle and gerrymander Colorado, NY, PA, and get new judges in VA in 2027.

    The solution isn't to "vote harder" when the system is rigged. Republicans are gerrymandering throughout the nation without a single vote yet when democrats put it up on a ballot it gets struck down. The system is flawed cuz republican judges are hacks.

    If every democratic state doesn't gerrymander to the max before 2028 they deserve to have their careers destroyed.

    So, rigging the vote like this... all you are doing is creating grievance. They're stealing the short term, but they ARE going to pay it back with interest in the long term.

    This will weaken Republicans significantly in the long run. People remember, and as annoyed as the country is with Republicans at the moment, having more Republican hegemony shoved down their throat when they voted for change is the kind of thing that people hold onto.

    Unless they succeed with the whole transition to full-on police state authoritarianism thing, future Republicans will rue the day. Just like Iran, the R's aren't gaming this thing out past the first move.

    If they are actually able to get away with it, fixing this particular election and all the other underhanded manipulative stuff they are doing will have long term negative consequences for Republicans (unless they manage to pull of the whole DPRK transition they seem to want).

    Why do you think Ukrainians want nothing at all to do with Russia, when they used to basically be cousins? Because the Russians constantly did to Ukraine all the types of election fixing things that the Republicans are doing now. There will come a breaking point, and that won't be good for the fixers.

    They're trading short term benefits for MUCH WORSE long term animus, assuming they succeed.

    The people need to control the Senate then stack the SC eventually. Should have been done during the Biden era but they were too scared. This has to end one way or another, they are completely out their lane with their current rulings.

    Get your passport just in case because...just in case has been here for two years now.

    Do you think it was pure coincidence that the blue cities in key swing states all stopped counting at the same time on election night in 2020? LMAO -- then you may just be a naive fool! More evidence is coming out soon -- very soon. Active ongoing investigation happening as we speak -- with a grand jury empaneled.

    How do you feel about illegal aliens being counted in the census to give Democrats another 20+ seats in the House? Or the absurd gerrymandering that leaves 40+% red states like New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and other Northeast states with a grand total of zero House members? Democrats are just dishonest dealers... and Democrats don't like tasting their own medicine. OUCHIE

    As a reminder -- Democrats are the ones who gerrymandered away the voting rights of millions of Americans... When Republicans respond in kind, Democrats freak out! Amigos, Democrats have zero self awareness. Which is why they are mocked!

    The supreme court literally just used fake data to write a landmark decision. The court has never been more corrupt than it is now

    Just need to beat them so had their cheating won’t matter. If turnout is high enough the repubs will shoot themselves in the foot with their new maps.
