What exactly is McDaniel “far left” on? I’ve read his website and answers to various surveys and he’s very reasonable. So what exactly are you referring to? |
OK. I found the feed and without even having to register on this site came across at least one repost of a “gay slur,” along with with a lot of other reposts of far-right material. I won’t vote for her for SB, but neither will I ascribe her views to every other GOP-endorsed candidate any more than I’d ascribe the political views of Abrar Omeish to every candidate endorsed by the FCDC. |
The company people keep tells you a lot about their values. Abrar is not on the ballot because FCDC ran her out of town and made it clear she would lose the endorsement. Meanwhile the GOP giddily endorsed Maureen Brody and her team mates (Saundra Davis and Cassandra Aucoin) are fighting to help her get elected. |
Some candidates (Bartkowski) have actually ENDORSED her. The question for them is (a) did they not know / clueless or (b) did they not care / yikes! |
Bartkowski follows Moms of Liberty on Twitter. (one of his only 35 follows)
https://twitter.com/PaulForFCSB/following And has retweeted multiple tweets of theirs. And yet claims he doesn’t know much about them. He also posts/retweets anti-trans sentiments and follows some other sketchy people/groups. |
Not surprised. It seems like every Republican in fairfax county is trying to brand themselves as misunderstood independents. It’s actually comical. |
Ilryong Moon recently sent around a flyer suggesting folks should endorse all the FCDC-endorsed candidates for every local office. I’m totally underwhelmed by Robyn Lady’s lack of comprehension of some of the issues schools in Dranesville Hilton, facing, or the absence of any commitment on her part to address them, and accordingly plan to vote for Paul Bartkowski instead. I also had been planning to vote for Moon, but given the suggestion that the candidates must be viewed as a slate, with all the views of each FCDC-endorsed candidate or each GOP-endorsed candidate imputed to the others, perhaps I need to reconsider the approach of focusing on the priorities of individual candidates and perhaps rule out all FCDC-endorsed candidates. |
And yet when Omeish spoke at a recent SB meeting and made overtly inflammatory, anti-Israel remarks, her colleagues on the all-Democratic board did not repudiate them, or her. Instead, a couple of them just left the dais for a few minutes. Not exactly profiles in courage or “running her out of town.” |
They are mOdERaTe! |
Right, and the Democrats are so very "moderate". Spare us all. DP |

Honey, she isn't on the ballot. She had to drop out because no Democrats would support her. |
+1 |
They endorsed her over Moon in 2019. Granted, at some point she became such a liability that they started to distance themselves from her, but it doesn’t speak well that they endorsed her in the first place. And it’s not like her politics are that different from some of the other Democrats running for office now. It’s just that she was saying the quiet parts out loud with all the noisy rhetoric about jihad, settler colonialism, etc., and they didn’t like that. |
She only won because she rigged the process |
