Losing a battle is part of politics, but for some reason not for the extreme progressives trying anything to get and keep power. Why don’t the Democrats stand on their policies to win? Because the American public wants nothing to do with a party that cannot define a woman and fully supports child mutilation. This is common sense to most Americans.
We cannot rule by minority positions pushed as if they are mainstream when they are not. But, thanks to our Mainstream Media, people are not aware of issues in the whole, but only fed bits of truth when the Mainstream is forced to report the story. The censorship by our media is disgusting, but it is real. All IMO.

“If Democrats will try to fire the Virginia Supreme Court over one redistricting case, what will they do the next time a court tells them no? This is not about maps anymore. It’s about whether the rule of law survives in Virginia,” Republican state senator Glen Sturtevant said.
However, key state officials are opposed to moving forward with such a radical proposal.
Democratic Virginia Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell on Monday reportedly ruled out pursuing such a measure. He told the Virginia Scope, a local outlet, that drastic measures would not be taken, in part because the state’s Department of Elections warned that any changes to the map after May 12 would disrupt the primary and midterm elections processes.
Governor Abigail Spanberger, who was inaugurated earlier this year, also said that she does not support forcibly retiring the state’s justices for redistricting.
Virginia Democratic leaders on Monday submitted an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, asking them to intervene and allow the commonwealth to use the maps redrawn by the Democratic legislature. The leaders argue that the state’s court ruling was “deeply mistaken on two critical issues of federal law with profound practical importance to the nation.” By invoking federal law, the Democratic official hopes to provide the grounds for the federal Supreme Court to intervene.”
