Thank you.

This is why we should all vote. Democracy is on the line period.

A vote for Youngkin means destroying the US.

Ya'll started this when you supported the VA legislature making it illegal to close down schools during Covid. Can't turn back the clock now. They have momentum.

Are you day drinking, PP?

The fact that Youngkin is extremely close to winning should tell you all you need to know. ROVA wants him and NOVA undermined its own credibility by pushing conservative policies and laws. Oh well.

One week to go for election day.

“What we've seen over the last 20 months is parents coming together and asking, ‘Please open our schools, five days a week. Stop keeping them closed’,” Youngkin said in Culpeper. “'Tell us what material is being used in the classroom or in the library — just tell us — so that we can choose whether we want it in our kids’ life or not.'”
...
Youngkin’s messaging on education has extended well beyond his “parents first” rallies and has been an almost singular focus of his campaign’s TV ads in the final weeks.

We are voting on Halloween? That seems appropriate.

Seeing a lot of Youngkin signs in Arlington. On front lawns, not just the medians. Never seen this before for an R candidate and I’ve lived here for 15 years. Any other Arlington natives see the same thing?

I wouldn’t say “a lot”. Just the usual suspects who had Trump signs.

Youngkin playing to antisemitic tropes with no facts to back up his lies. Says a Jewish man is pulling the strings of school board members.

When his campaign was asked for evidence that Soros supported school board members, they had none.

This is one vile man who doesn’t seem to have a bottom for his lies and hate. His mentor and inspiration , Donald Trump, must be so proud.

Hysterical that the left is trying to paint this as antisemitic.
You have a billionaire who has bankrolled left-wing candidates around the country from president to district attorneys to school board members and he happens to be Jewish.
And, calling him out for working to install his left-wing nuts in positions of power is suddenly antisemitic?

LOL.

Yet, we have Terry McAuliffe, a candidate who excuses away racism.

Trumpers infiltrated the TJ PTA.

Sounds more like a confession than accusation.

Gross.

The Forward noted that Youngkin had appeared on the radio show of Sebastian Gorka, a former Trump administration official with ties to antisemitic groups in his native Hungary.

The Democrat fallback position is always to accuse those attacking Soros of antisemitism.

As for whether he has supported School Board candidates, I do not know. It is unquestionable that he poured tremendous amounts of money into local prosecutors in Virginia--at least, he did so in Northern Virginia. This information is readily available at vpap.org

And, if you care to go through vpap to analyze money, you will find that many School Board members have donated funds to those same prosecutors. So, there is definitely a political connection--even though SB members are "non-partisan." None of them in Fairfax are truly non-partisan. Right now, there are no GOP aligned members, but, certainly Elizabeth Schultz was no apolitical.

In Loudoun, the fact that the Soros aligned prosecutor decided to personally prosecute the dad in the Loudoun County debacle shows just how political this is. It is highly unusual for a Commonwealth Attorney to personally prosecute a misdemeanor. It is even more unusual to ask for jail time for a misdemeanor, as she did.

I don't have the answer to the School Board issue. Perhaps, quit having political parties "endorse" SB candidates.

But, Youngkin is correct about the Soros money in the Commonwealth Attorney's races. And, it was significant amounts of money.

By your logic anyone who takes issue with contributions from any organizations associated with the Koch brothers or other conservative Christians mis anti-Christian.

Hope your BS about “antisemitic tropes” works out well for you but more likely it’s just going to underscore what a hysterical campaign McAuliffe is running.

Thanks. I know we have some R’s on my street, but it feels like more than last cycle as I drive around the neighborhood. Some who I didn’t know their politics before the sign pop’d up.

I just noticed a few pop up in my N Arlington neighborhood too. One was a house that had a Trump sign outside, so that was unsurprising. But there’s also 3 others on the same street (about 5-6 block span). I’m concerned liberals have messed up in the one area that democrats care about more than any other … schools. We all know (most) liberals will otherwise set aside their political beliefs when it comes to their children’s education. I at least admit I’m guilty of this. Sure I care about equity and want the government to help poor people, immigrants, etc., but like many others, I’m still going to spend a lot of money to live in an area where my family doesn’t have to deal with gun violence, poor performing schools, etc. You start messing with the education of the children of the UMC (shutting down schools, focusing more on equitable grading than test scores, getting the FBI involved in school board meetings, prioritizing bathroom policies that affect a small subset of students, but not reporting sexual assaults, etc.) and suddenly voters want to push back. I’m not saying Republicans will be good for schools by any means, but I worry people want a way to push back when they feel they’re losing control over their children’s education.
