Virginia passes redistricting commision

Apparently Virginia Dems like to handcuff themselves when they get power. Good luck winning the House next decade when Republicans gerrymander TX, GA, OH and NC while Democrats decide to restrain themselves. Idiots

Not that I disagree with your point, but the maps for the 2020s are going to by default be far more favorable to the Democrats than the maps for the 2010s were, and Dems still won the House with room to spare even under those. Yeah it took a wave, but still.

My favored strategy for the Democrats was to pass laws ending gerrymandering that get triggered once TX, OH, NC, etc. end gerrymandering. That way you still keep the moral high ground without unilaterally disarming. Of course, Democrats would rather unilaterally disarm since it is what they do best.
