This same candidate also says his "involvement in our community dates back nearly a decade to 2014." He does not say, "I moved here less than 6 months ago."

These things are actual facts which raise significant questions about his integrity, not people simply gossiping online.

And, for this matter, if he's employing these kind of Santos-style resume tactics, how do we know he's not secretly a Republican? Has anyone asked him who he's voted for? Why hasn't he responded yet? (Do you see how ridiculous this is?)

Deflection. At least we know where he stands on Youngkin and MAGAs.

Actually, it's not deflection at all. This is a fact-based point about why I could never support Angelo. His qualifications are paper thin to the point of being see-through. In contrast, your concerns about Miranda are based on conjecture and wild speculation.

Angelo has very clearly stated he will stand up for Arlingtonians against MAGAs.

Miranda has not.

She and her supporters of whom there are clearly many on there could quickly and easily quiet the conjecture by stating who she voted for in the last gubernatorial election. But they have not done so. That leads me to believe she's hiding something so we're entitled to assume the worst. This is all within her control. Kind of like Trump not disclosing his tax returns.

Who did Angelo vote for? Do you know? (Actually, we do know somewhat, because Angelo has not lived in Virginia yet during an election cycle.)

I can't speak for Miranda because I am not Miranda. The reason no one is answering for her is because IN THE US WE HAVE PRIVATE BALLOTS. I would be surprised if she voted for Youngkin. But, as PP above said, if you want to know the answer to that, you have to ask Miranda, who, I know for a fact, intentionally does not follow stuff like this because, sheesh, who would?

The PPP is never going to actually ask her if she voted for Youngkin because, in addition to it outing themselves, they are so paranoid that they wouldn't take "no" for an answer anyway.

So what'll it be, PPP? If you asked her, and she said "no", would you accept it? Or would you take it as evidence that she's willing to lie to conceal her "true" beliefs?

There's more than one person posted on here. Different people may feel different ways. Doesn't matter though as I don't think Miranda is ever going to answer what should be the easiest question in the world for a true Dem.

Clearly plenty of her supporters are on here. She could quiet the speculation if she wanted to. But she doesn't want to.

You’re arguing with the same 10 people on here. You might want to consider raising your concerns in a more public forum because this is basically you yelling into the void.

Angelo has very clearly stated he will stand up for Arlingtonians against MAGAs.

Miranda has not.

He will stand up against MAGAs on the Arlington school board? What does that even mean? It’s completely irrelevant. We need a school board member who understands how the system works.

This reminds me of all the previous accusations that went like this.

Where does she stand on xyz?

Go ask her.

Why aren’t you answering? It must be bad.

Go ask her.

AEA, AGIA or any the zillion forums: “this is how I stand on this issue.”

Just.go.ask.her. It’s an anonymous forum. I don’t trust anybody here.

I'm a Miranda supporter. I know her well enough to be able to message her if I wanted to, but not so well that I would do it. I would rather die a thousand deaths than 1) admit in public that I post on DCUM, and 2) ask such a ridiculous question to appease some anonymous DCUMs poster. I am guessing other people feel the same way.

[Anonymous]

Also, it doesn't matter what she says. Let's assume she's voted a straight party ticket for years (my guess). You, angry anti-APE person, are still not going to vote for her. So what's the point of my asking?

What does that even mean???! This is some real LWNJ bs. Come on. You really think MAGA is actively trying to infiltrate APS via one school board candidate? Get a grip....I honestly cannot even take that seriously, really. This is an assertion of delusion.

Your use of LWNJ tells me everything I need to know. We're discussing whether Miranda supports RWNJs.

Pages and pages of deflection from her supporters trying to distract us from this one simple point.

Let's turn this around. Her core base of supporters would vote for her if she voted for Youngkin. In fact for many of them it would be a huge plus.

Let's not forget APE's own statement about its members voting for Youngkin, their excitement about Y being elected, their congratulations to him, and their reach out to meet with him.

Again I need to encourage you to take this public. Go to AEM, email the PTA, do whatever you need to do to get the word out! Clearly this is very important and shouldn't be buried on page 49 of this thread!

Wow is right.

Wow. Why are you even here?

I personally blame the small panel of people who made a misguided recommendation for the PAC.

Talking to teachers, they’re as surprised by this endorsement as all the commenters on ArlNow. Whether he loses or he wins and steps down, this isn’t aging well.

and you talked to all the teachers in APS? Sure. This is like when APE claimed to have a lot of teacher members. Sure, you did.
