By turning Trump's own redistricting gamble against him, Virginia just changed the math on Congress.

The right gambled, tried to rig the election, lost, and now it’s excuses and tears.
Thanks for everything, Virginia. 🙏🏽

Virginia’s new map will give Democrats the chance to flip four seats currently held by Republicans. That could put Dems slightly ahead in the national mid-decade gerrymandering wars—a result few thought possible when Trump picked the fight by pushing Texas Republicans to redraw their map last year.

@simonwdc.bsky.social called the Virginia win this evening--which gives Dem a 4 seat pickup -- and a whole lot else in our substack live conversation about the political landscape earlier today. Check it out!

The Republicans' gerrymandering fiasco underscores Trump's scorn for democratic norms -- but also as we see tonight (thanks, Virginia!) his incompetence at implementing his undemocratic vision. And in general I prefer authoritarians who are incompetent.

Unlike Texas, Virginia and California did this with the consent of the people.
Republicans wanted this fight.
They got it.

I've always hated hypocrites but Trump complaining about someone cheating when it comes to the gerrymandering issue is way fucking over the top because he was the fat mother fucker who called governor Abbott and ordered him to create 5 Republican seats behind closed doors&without a vote of the ppl

It is a mystical belief to insist that there is some magic perfect voting map to return to. We must accept that these CA and VA voter approved gerrymanders are the best we are getting right now under the circumstances.

The fact that people with higher educational levels tend to vote Democrat and people with lower educational levels tend to vote Republican doesn't tell us anything about leftist politics and its relationship to education in the United States because the Democrats are not a leftist party.
