Complacent democrat here. What policies will youngkin advance?

Anonymous
I see from the threads that youngkin will be working on policies related to public education - though not clear what his vision is. What other policies will he be focused on?

Op here. I did but nothing substantive on the main page, just some vitriol about mcaullife lying. Not a great intro to the man.

Nobody really knows because he's all smoke & mirrors.

Sounds like, other than education which he used to get elected, he's not really into culture wars. He was caught on tape saying he favored a 20week abortion ban. I think that's stupid and it should be based on fetal viability, not a blanket assumption as to when a fetus feels pain, but that's only four weeks less than now.

I am more concerned about his gun control views. He was not clear about them during the debates. Or at all, really, which is unfortunate because he may turn out to be a fking loon about guns and a lot of so-called "moderates" may feel bad.

Virginia has a 24 week ban on abortions?

He has not articulated any plans other than gutting public schools with vouchers. Also cutting as many taxes as possible with zero plans for replacing revenue, which will require cutting funding to something. Education and social programs tend to be favorite targets for Republicans.

Well we wouldn’t want to rip the unborn apart unless they could feel pain right?

Many of these "abortion ban's" force women to carry a non-viable fetus to term and have them die upon birth which is horrifying.

Did he actually win? The margin decreases by the hour and more postmarked ballots may arrive by Friday. Too soon to call it. Seriously.

Are you suggesting someone should scour post offices for votes?

Count all the votes is a good start but I don't think more are really coming in. I only say count all the votes because it's the law and Youngkins ran on protecting the constitution.
