  1. I cannot put into words how big of a deal this is. 2026 the Republicans are no lube fucked

  2. This right here, is the big one for me.

    Blue wave everywhere is great, but this gives me hope.

  3. As goes California, so goes the Nation…but the Old Dominion will always bring Lady Liberty back.

    Sic semper tyrannis

  4. What does this mean of the impact of things overall on a national scale? (other than “Sending a message”)?

  5. Absolutely destroyed. ALL the seats up for offer? How many seats do we have total?

  6. I wanna feel hope but I know the orange fuck is gonna do some more shady shit

  7. I guess being the party responsible for the firing of all the federal workers wasnt a winning strategy in the area with the most federal workers in the country…

  8. >“Tonight, Virginians sent a clear message across the nation: Donald Trump and Virginia Republicans’ politics of chaos and cruelty have no home in the Commonwealth,” House Speaker Don Scott of Portsmouth said in a statement. “House Democrats expanded our majority because we stood up for Virginians and built a vision that puts people first — lowering costs, growing our economy and protecting our rights.” 

    As a former resident of Prince William county Virginia, I’m glad some portion of the nation is becoming correctly woke.

    I also applaud the students of my alma mater (UVA) for their recent flag burning to protest to TheRumps decree.

  9. Quietly, one of tonight’s big stories; redistricting in Virginia will add 2-3 Democratic house seats.

  10. So I guess firing thousands of federal employees, shutting down the government so that the ones who remained wouldn’t be paid, and then gutting SNAP and other social safety nets actually turns out to *not* be a good campaign strategy

  11. Used to live in SWVA, and it’s glorious reading the meltdowns. I love SWVA, but damn do they vote against their own interests.

  12. Tonight solidifies VA as a blue state for the forseeable future. VA Dems need to take this opportunity to gerrymander the shit out of both the state and federal seats just like the GOP did in NC.

  13. wow turns out nuking and systematically dismantling the economy of a certain region would make that region’s voters absolutely despise your guts. who woulda thunk?!!

  14. Ruh roh scooby. I guess taking food money away from children and old people during thanksgiving doesn’t endear to the hearts of voters

  15. District 66 actually flipped. I’m still in shock. Bobby Orrock has been the incumbent there since 1990. Beat today by a woman!

  16. Keep going, Democrats.

    Republicans are doing their best to ensure they keep control before the next election.

    The sweeps need to be definitive.

  17. Omg this isn’t just a defeat for Republicans across the country. It’s a fucking massacre.

  18. And in real time we are seeing why Trump wanted to rig midterms

  19. [This is the story](https://i.imgur.com/2DigptO.jpeg)

    Not just the results, not just the wins, this was a flip of the table. An entire state shifting 5-15+ points. Even in DEEP red counties where the R got 80% of the vote, that’s DOWN considerably from last election.

  20. Now DO PUNITIVE THINGS.
    DO NOT start with this “healing” and “moving forward” bullshit.
