The dems gerrymandered Pennsylvania. Here’s what we know for sure. Both parties would gerrymander the hell out of entire country if they thought they could get away with it. In a heartbeat. Unless you actually believe that the dems have waaaay too much integrity for such things.
Repeating myself, but VA-7, Abigail Spanberger defeated former Tea Party darling Dave Brat.
She ran a solid campaign, focusing on issues, her record, her background, and pegging Brat as a typical money-grabbing Republican who liked special interests.
Brat spent his TV dollars on trying to associate her with a high school named “Terror High” that she subbed in. It was named that because apparently one of the students ended up trying to kill GW Bush. Then he tried to link her to Nancy Pelosi, claiming all of these things she did, when she hadn’t even been in office.
Was glad VA quickly snuffed out ardent Trump supporter Corey Steward, who ran racist ad after racist ad about the caravan and how all of these murderers will be coming into the US to vote, go on welfare, etc. and that Tim Kaine wants these people here.
i became a student of the politics in that state when the Republicans won their Super Majority. i was shocked that their citizens voted in enough Democrats to break the Republican Super Majority.

Well, to be honest, the search function scares me, because the few times I’ve used it, it hasn’t given me what I was searching for, and as I was trying to use it, I thought, Wait, who am I trying to impress again? I’m literally running an errand for a total stranger, who will likely just parse away my post anyway.
And then I thought, Do I even want him to believe me?
And my next thought was: No. I would be happier if he didn’t.
So then I made that post that you just read, Your Honor. And that’s just about everything that happened between the beginning and the end.
