Voucher money can go directly to kids already in private schools - just like it did in Indiana.

We don't hate public schools here. We're mad right now. But we don't hate public schools and we don't want to destroy them. We don't want vouchers.

That’s unfortunate since Glenn Youngkin specifically campaigned on school vouchers.

DP and I sure as hell want vouchers. I don’t think they destroy schools and I do think school choice is at least a step in the right direction. I’m a former IB public school teacher and I’d never want my kids going where I used to teach.

Of course they destroy schools. That's the point.

Well they do destroy the school that parents are desperate to get out of, but, good.

If you’ve never sent your kids to or worked in that kind of school, you don’t get it. You are living in your GS10 bubble. But I’ve seen some shit and I would do anything to give those kids a lifeboat out of there.

+1. I don’t think they’ve directly address a single substantive policy question/issue. Just keep deflecting to irrelevant nonsense.

Exactly.

Has any news organization (not some rando on Twitter) called the race yet?

He's terrible for VA, for democracy and for the country. Thanks, Virginia - whether intentionally or through negelct, you've collectively given a monster a national platform. Sigh.

People calling Youngkin a monster and engaging in hysteria over a republican winning are part of the problem. No one is going to take Democrats seriously if they're constantly screaming about how every single Republican voter or candidate is a traitor or racist or anti-woman.

Yes the racist ticket that elected the first Black American woman Winsome Sears for Lieutenant Governor and Jason Miyares an Cuban Immigrant as Attorney General.

Miyares isn’t an immigrant.

He was conceived in Cuba and travelled to the US as a fetus.

Now that fetuses are people guess he can’t run for POTUS. He’s not even here legally - he was smuggled in.

I'm also pretty sure this isn't true. All the coverage I've seen says his mom immigrated in 1965 and he was born in 1976.

You think those kids will secure a spot at a private? Most won’t and the schools will continue to decline.

No. CNN just said it’s mathematically impossible for T Mac to win, but they haven’t called it.

I didn’t see McAuliffe campaigns on issues. I saw a lot of ads that just tried to link Youngkin to Trump.

DP. There you go deflecting again. We’re not talking about McAuliffe’s policy positions, we are talking about the feasibility of Youngkin’s campaign promises. That is what matters now, not what McAuliffe would have done if elected. Can you address any of the substantive questions raised in the past couple of pages as to how Youngkin will achieve his stated policy goals?

No. She only got 19,000 votes. He needed 120,000. I wish he had not conceded.

I just saw RWNJ fake news up in arms saying Fairfax is recounting. I've seen it no other place. I think it was preprogramed by a bot to post now.

60% of Virginians are racist Trumpsters.

So I guess say goodbye to choice, Gay marriage and legalized weed which would have brought in some tax money. What's his plan to replace grocery tax?

Apparently a lot of states don’t have a grocery tax.

Grocery taxes are very regressive and it will help poor people, particularly with Biden inflation.

Glenn’s lead dwindling by the minute and lots of nervous faces. This ain’t over, people.

I’ve seen it and I don’t think vouchers are the answers. They leave the worst of the worst in public school rather than improving for all.

Vouchers will give very few of those kids a way out. The rest will be stuck there while the public schools get worse.

Parents have had enough

I agree parents have had enough, but it’s not all about CRR and trans issues. Democrats closed schools for an entire year. People living in Virginia looked around at republican run states and saw their kids in school. With COVID not over and threats of new variants constantly talked about, no way do parents want another Democrat in charge.

Our area schools brought kids back in to the buildings around the same time as many other schools.

5-11 can get vaccinated within days.

Totally irrational decision making.

It was irrational for the Ds to have their head in the sand on how big of an issue this really was.

What? School closures? They happened all over the world. There was a global pandemic.

Wow. Toast

Just to remind everyone, The Lincoln Project is made up of Republicans.

And apparently a bunch of those Republicans really don’t like Youngkin..

They aren’t really Republicans anymore. C’mon man.

No, but Dave Wasserman is not just some rando on Twitter.

I see what has to be a mistake out in Frederick County. Trump won out there 63/35 but they have McAuliffe winning 69/30
