Funeral for the Democratic Party of Virginia

[Woody]

They have been looking very vulnerable recently. They messed up with redistricting, they lost tons of winnable state senate races in 19', and now their top sleazebag, Terrance, is struggling, along with the HoD.

I guess that's what happens when local Republicans actually run a competent campaign.

Yep, they lost so many winnable senate races in 2019 that they ended up flipping the chamber

They picked up two in high D-leaning districts, there were half of dozen winnable races that they blew, giving them only a 21-19 majority.

A lot of those losses were razor thin margins.

I know. Literally every race that went under 5% or razor thin broke for Republicans, that's not normal. The only semi-competitive race VA Dems won was against Higgins in Northern Virginia. If I remember correctly they won it by eight points, the same margin Clinton won it by in 16'.

What can I tell you, gerrymandering works.

In the past that excuse would have worked. Two of those districts went for Clinton, and the three others went for Trump (one of which went to Northam in 17') by narrow margins in either 16' or 20' which should have been possible to win in an off-year election.

VA Dems are just complacent after the last decade.

HoD went somewhat well for them though.
