McAuliffe's done. You have to run a campaign on themes besides "I'm not the former POTUS". Uh, it's temporarily exiled POTUS not former POTUS, and you're not running against him. You're running against a real person. Youngkin +6.


You have to win Loudoun. Whoever wins there wins.


Until the mail ins are counted. Then Dems always win. Then we find out that the people don’t live at the addresses given.




Virginia has fair elections. There's no fraud here and yes, they check votes, addresses, all of it.

This conflict is entirely a product of the left wing movement to change the way history is taught and to push doctrine - like through so-called anti-racist instruction - into public school curriculums. Of course this will rightfully generate pushback. Right or wrong, this is entirely driven by force on the left.

If this was just about teaching slavery, Jim Crow, and the effects of slavery and discrimination on communities to this day, we'd not be in this situation.

Exactly. It's the next part that's so disgusting. "Now that you agree that you're an oppressor because you're white, what are you willing to give up as retribution?"


Nobody is coming for your material things, ma’am/sir. I think most people just want to begin examining our past more critically so we can push our way out of a systemically racist system

Can you define "push our way out of a systemically racist system?"


As soon as you can clarify the retribution you fear

Laws and policies that discriminate against people because of the color of their skin. OK, now it's your turn.


When you use the term "discriminate", I don't think you are using it correctly. A lot of the anti - CRT crowd tries to hide behind "color - blindness" and MLK's words (even though his family has made it very clear that many white folks are taking it out of context).
We SHOULD be acknowledging that POC have been discriminated against for hundreds of years in America. This might mean that certain opportunities will skew more towards POC, because they have had to start from so much further back. This means that instead of judging our students by standardized tests that are written to connect to the white experiences and history, we should be using more inquiry based and exploratory education that allows students to read works from multiple perspectives and judge it based us on its accuracy.
It might even mean that white people will have to acknowledge their own biases and racist tendencies. As someone who's done this, I can assure you its far less traumatic than what POC in America have gone through. You can do it too!

We/they should take a hard look - much harder than an analysis just suggesting the Republicans won because they somehow duped voters with a stream of misinformation - at whether McAuliffe lost because of his own personal lack of charisma or instead because voters simply have grown exceedingly skeptical of Democrats' ability to govern effectively at the state, local, or national level. It's one thing to acknowledge the challenges that exist in Congress when the Democrats face unified opposition from the Republicans; it's another thing to confront head-on some of the governance failures that many have witnessed at the local level when Democrats completely control local government yet fail to deliver services (in particular, public education) effectively.


+1 to every word of this.

Despite surveys/polls that consistently show that people favor policies advanced by Democrats - paid family leave, Affordable Care Act, child tax credit, elimination of pre-existing condition as a bar to health insurance coverage, background checks for guns, etc. the Democrats can't seem to turn that into an effective message to get people to vote for them.

If Youngkin wins, Democrats need to long and hard at why. Frankly, if McAuliffe wins and it's a squeaker, Democrats still need to look long and hard at why.



Dems: Dammit! We didn’t print enough votes

Loudoun county teacher told my friend her son was a racist. Apparently they thought her kid was Italian. Nope. His grandfather is black. Teacher: “erm, um”

Well considering you have given absolutely zero proof of any electoral wrongdoing, yes, why wouldn't I believe it?

Horrible. And the thought that a rich white dude like Terry McAuliffe is somehow going to lead the charge towards embracing CRT, "restorative justice," and reparations ought to embarrass you.

You want to discriminate against white and Asian children and in favor of Black children based on events for which they bear no responsibility. Perhaps it makes you feel better about being white, but don't expect other people to subsidize your self-loathing.


I don't live in VA but if I did McAuliffe is certainly the better of two evils. I'm sorry you find my viewpoint horrible; not sure why you think the way you responded makes me feel better about the progress of POC in VA

Evidence that VA doesn't have fair elections?

I know you don't care about such stuff, but the rest of us do.

DP. A Marxist is a supporter or adherent of the political theory of Karl Marx. What I think you’re trying to say is, define Marxism. Gotta do it better when you throw down a “Quick quiz.”
