Call out to those in Virginia...This election will have huge implications that will affect Virginia for decades (more map re-drawing coming). If the anti-gun/anti-rights take both chambers, which they are very close to achieving, you will be facing hell for decades! Think just possessing a bump stock will make you a felon? Just wait to see what's literally coming for you in the middle of the night. Vote as if your way of life depends on it because it does!

Everyone get out today and VOTE!!!

I'm on my way to the polls now. Unfortunately, the Democratic legislators in my area are running unopposed. They're going to support draconian gun laws and there's nothing I can do about it.

We have a one-party system here in some parts of northern Virginia.

Do what you can, maybe there is a lessor of two evils in your district. I know the feeling but am fortunate enough to have a long shot running in my district. Regardless where you are, if a majority of us Virginians make a stand and vote, we will stop the train wreck.
 
My area too. Nothing but anti gun Democrats.
The Republicans (and the NRA) simply gave up on northern Virginia. You would think they would run at least token candidates, just to "show the flag."

This is not how a major party behaves.

The Democratic volunteers outside my polling place were handing out sample ballots, because on the official ballot, only the candidates for Delegate and Senator had their party designated. (There were no Republican volunteers anywhere to be seen.) The sample ballot was useful, because at least it showed who not to vote for.
 
The western part of the state where I live is secure in terms of who will represent us. NRA candidates will win by a landslide. What happens in the east, the more heavily populated part of the state, is very much in doubt.

I did something today that many of you may not approve of. Before I had lunch with her, I took one of my oldest friends to the polls. She's very well up in years, and I have no doubt that she cancelled every important vote I cast for state office. I made no attempt to discuss politics with her.

The key, I believe, to surviving as a nation isn't maintaining a majority for the things we believe in--sometimes we'll have that. Sometimes we won't. The key is civility toward, and respect for, the minority. If we can't give it, we can't expect it.
 
I voted but seeing what has become of Virginia makes me equal parts pissed and nauseous.
I feel the exact same way. My district voted for TRUE common sense, but we are now part of the minority, and I don't know how to proceed from here. I never would have thought that the majority of VA would go this direction. :(

I don’t know how we got here, but attempting to befriend a neighbor despite political and religious differences feels like an act of rebellion these days.
