Virginia Democrats are projected to win control of both of the state’s legislature bodies, according to Decision Desk HQ, dealing a major blow to Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s agenda for the remainder of his term.
Democrats won control of the House of Delegates and maintained their grip on the state Senate. Tuesday’s election results mark a reversal from two years ago, when Youngkin was elected governor and Republicans won control of the House of Delegates.
although i’m not exactly rooting for the democrats, I fucking love Love LOVE watching the Republicans suffer.
this country is burning to the fucking ground.
The democrats are merely the smoke. The actual fire consuming it is the GOP.
The democrat party only gets to exist in its present form because the GOP exists.
If we want to destroy the democrats, we must first scourge their republican scapegoats and remove their excuses.
because if you try to air out the smoke before the fire is extinguished, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A BAD TIME.
So, death to the donkey party AND death to the elephant party, but THE GOP MUST BE EXTINGUISHED FIRST.
and hey, sometimes a democrat politician isn’t an irredeemable monster wearing flayed human skin… every once in a while… VERY occasionally… and once the GOP is destroyed and the democrat party inevitably schisms into conservative and progressive wings, the ones who suck less will be on the correct side.

YESSSS!
which … will only happen after the two parties who currently benefit from the first past the post model and will go to the ends of the earth to preserve the system that perversely sustains them have been shattered completely.
“Destroy”, “death”, “scourge”, “irredeemable monster wearing flayed human skin”
Yawn… Instead of bloviating about destroying both parties you might consider working to build one of them up the way you want them to be. I get it though. Building isn’t for the lazy, it is always much harder and more time consuming than burning things down.
The fact that you only see politics as a binary system where it’s one party or the other is utterly asinine. There are political bodies and philosophies outside of US Republicans and Democrats. Being left leaning doesn’t automatically mean liking or believing in the platform of the Democratic party.
3rd parties are essentially meaningless in the U.S. except as spoilers and you know it. By far the most effective way to create change in the American political system is to push one of the two parties to take up the positions you advocate. Moaning and groaning about other “political bodies and philosophies” is just hot air at this point, and you know that too.
Republicans know this, which explains why they went nuclear after RFK after he started pulling people on the liberal side in the USA
This. Besides, voting for the Democratic Party eventually will enable a split of the party. Progressive democrats and moderate democrats don’t like each other that much, but they still rather deal with each other than the other side of the aisle.
When there are adults in the room, they don’t have to like each other to work together for common goals. The current GOP/MAGA “If the Dems are for it we’re really against it” is comical. I never thought I’d see one party become the party of Putin and Russia largely because the other party sees Putin and Russia as clear adversaries. As has been said so often, this timeline sucks.
Turns out people don’t want their personal freedoms infringed. Who knew?
Who knew that taking away rights was so unpopuler?
I was really worried about dipshit mcsweatervest getting full control of this state. He made sure we knew he was going to ban abortion and he would have railroaded all kinds of legislation through from book bans to bills to make voting more difficult.
His plan was to turn Virginia into Florida and then use that to justify his presidential run later on. Get fucked ya dick head, you’re not running my state into the ground for your political benefit. Enjoy being a massive loser for your entire political career.
