2021 VA Governors race

[Anonymous]

An equity lens and commitment to your dismantling the systems of white privilege and racism require us to acknowledge that the current race will result in yet another rich white cisgender male assuming power when there are people of color who are smart and capable and bring the lived experience vital to real change.

I wish Rs didn't fall into the fake controversy over CRT and I support transstudents rights. But VA public schools are messed up and the mask mandate needs to be lifted on kids. The CDC has jumped the shark with the latest statements about masking even after kids are vaccinated. Rates are low and vaccines are imminent, governors need to start announcing off-ramp plans now. I have zero confidence in McAuliffe on these issues.

The pandemia is not over and kids need to keep their mask on at school. Precaution doesn’t hurt, being R-neck does.

Oh just stop. Schools in Europe were open throughout the pandemic. Our schools closed because of the Teachers union pressure. Not because of the science.

This. School closures were because Trump (who I despise) said “open schools” in July or August. Because people around here have the maturity of gnats, they HAD to do the opposite of what Trump said because TRUMP! So the children were thrown under the bus for entirely unscientific adult temper tantrum. All I can say is Go Youngkin!!

1) That’s not what happened. Numbers were already starting to go up with an expected fall/winter surge.

2) Many schools in Europe used distance learning.


Is it physically possible for Rs to NOT lie?

This will get voters pumped up to support our Progressive agenda!

LOL.

Terry is bringing in the big guns. How many of them are from Virginia?

Dave Matthews of the Dave Matthews Band (DMB) is from Charlottesville

And Dr. Jill Biden reaches at northern virginia community college.

One class by Zoom.

She also taught there for eight years before zoom was a thing.

Really, you are bragging about someone teaching at a community college?

It’s better than teaching children of DBs like you.

Someone should tell Youngkin that these are parents, too. Not just the screamers seeking viral moments to help him win the election.

Some of the screamers don’t even live here.

RWNJs have to import crazy.

Sure. Come out to McLean. We will have you over for a drink and you can call me, my wife, and many of our friends names...

Sorry, we don’t hang out with traitors.

Just other bubble heads in your segregated Arlington neighborhood.

Wrong, traitor. I don’t live in a segregated neighborhood.

Sure you do. Why else would you live in Arlington.

Can you imagine being married to this constantly repeating troll? I feel bad for his immuno-compromised spouse. No wonder he’s on this forum posting nonsense day and night.

You are conflating posters, traitor.

Rs can’t campaign without lying.

My neighborhood isn’t segregated. It’s a mix of apartments (including affordable housing), THs, and SFHs. Mix of SES and nationalities.

Suck it, traitor.

And then both parties of whacky fringe players that are more interested in scoring re-tweets on fringe issues than making a difference.

+1000 So much this.

No, literally the opposite of this. You realize that you can be a rich white man and actually believe and do different things.

Youngkin plans on advancing lardass’s agenda of no more elections.

When McAuliffe was governor, he literally restored peoples’ voting rights. He ADVANCED democracy.

These guys are not at all the same person … you just don’t know a GD thing about thing and you still open your mouth …

Are you saying our voting privileges should be taken away???

Many of us support Younkin in Arlington but also realize that opponents will light our flags on fire, egg our house, tear up our sign and vandalize our property. Why make a target of ourselves and our family by the party that loves diversity intersectionality, but not diversity of thought. Many of my D friends have admitted they will be voting for Younkin this round - mostly based on school issues and the teacher's union only caring about teachers.

How many F**King times do I have to hear some dumbf**k republican say that dems don’t like diversity of thought bc we tell them no, we won’t listen to their climate-change denying, horse-paste eating, racist and idiotic theories? Like no….it’s not diversity of thought to hear how dumb y’all are. No one ever said - let’s just listen to every chicken sh!t idea.

So when posters don't agree you resort to this type of response. Some of us don't agree with you that if Youngkin wins that everything is doom and gloom. Democrats have total control now and our Federal government and how is that going for us? I would love a third party option but one does not exist. Some of us are not even Republicans that you are yelling at. I voted for Biden but will not be voting for McAuliffe. Only voted for Biden because I could not stand Trump. We are not all the same no matter how much you wish that was the case.

You can believe you aren’t the same, but unfortunately, since republicans are advancing a fascist agenda with the Ultimate goal of ending democratic elections…if you are not supporting the opposition (i.e., democrats), you are effectively the same….I dont really care how you feel inside..your actions will allow republicans to end our democracy and that you don’t see that is the issue.

Each side has its way of squelching / suppressing votes. One side looks mean and scary; the other will dazzle you with a smile, both will break you.

Voting for Youngkin is horrific.

Texas today no one has a vote anymore. This will be Virginia. Youngkin will do exactly what Abbott just did. He put a Sec of State in that is a Trump supporter of the Big Lie they will not change every election without anyone being able to do anything. Abbott will never leave office. Women in Texas are toast.

Is that what you want for Virginia's children to grow up in a place where Democracy died, where their votes no longer count.

This is not about schools it is about Democracy and you all better wake up because Youngkin will take Virginia back to the dark ages in a jif and there will be no stopping the GOP and their criminal activity.

Yesterday Trump started a social media company with a communist company based out of Wuhan China. The GOP ie Youngkin is the communists and again it's only going to get way worse.

Spare us the whole school issues, Youngkin is going to ruin them his ideas for privatizing schools just means bad schools and money flowing to his pocket.

Come on people see the big picture. Please pay attention you are missing it and when this race is over either China wins or the US? Which are you for?

You keep posting and driving people in the other direction. You just cant help yourself can you? No one is buying what you are selling. Let the people vote for the person they think is right for Virginia. Accept it and move on. I get it you are voting for McAuliffe even though he has very questionable business practices and friends. You do you. Who cares about Trump. He is not on the ticket no matter how much you want him to be. I also hope he does not run in 2024 but this level of division you continue to preach scares me that you are setting the stage for a redo.

How exactly would PP’s posts “drive anyone in the other direction”?

Who would change their vote based on anonymous comments on a mommy website? You?

Well? Did you change your vote based on anonymous comments on a mommy website?

You’re being vague. How is Younkin’s agenda the same as Trump’s?

Trump and Chase seem to think so.

“I hope Glenn gets in there and he’ll straighten out Virginia, he’ll lower taxes, do all of the things we want a governor to do.”
-Trump

“We are going to do something about election integrity. I know what’s going on. The Youngkin campaign knows what’s going on. We are watching like we never watched before."
-Chase

So does Youngkin:
Youngkin will make election integrity a top priority.
