The Rs are welcome to run some non-crazy people and dump their insane orange god-king. Until that time, there’s no other choice.

I vote with my wallet, not based on social progressivism. High taxes are anathema. One party is the tax-and-spend party. I vote the other way, because other issues are mere background noise.

As reflected in the last election, overwhelming majority of Virginians don’t want insane people running their government. Feel free to ignore that and keep losing.

The thing is, the far left is just as insane as far right. That's why we keep seesawing back and forth. Both options are terrible and the voter gets amnesia about the party not currently in power.

The far left is not as insane as the far right. What a load of hogwash.

For one thing, there's really no leftist party in the United States. Even Democratic Socialists just mean they want a Norway/Sweden-style form of socialism that still rewards capitalism. One reason all the pearl clutching by the right conflating it to communism when they mean (ironically) authoritarianism is hilarious.

Frankly, I'd take Democratic Socialism right now over what we got. Yeah, taxes would be higher, but we'd get a lot more for it. We'd have to deal with evil insurance companies less for health care, our education would be covered, our child care would be covered, etc. etc. I'm not really concerned with the marginal tax rate on billionaires increasing. Give me a break.

This isn’t true and it’s a tired trope you learned from your HS gov teacher or college professor and you never investigated yourself. The American left is further left than the European left on all issues except taxation. Talk to an average European about unrestricted abortion, allowing illegal immigration, and the trans sports stuff. We’ve got family in Sweden and they couldn’t believe the states allow abortions past the first term. In Sweden we had the police randomly asking Muslim appearing passengers for their IDs and “papers” on public transport.

Who is in favor of illegal immigration? I know of no one, and I am definitely not on the right side of center.

I'm good with it. What's your problem?

My problem is all the fraud going on with my tax dollars. Cut out the fraud and waste before increasing my taxes.

Can you be more specific to Fairfax County? I’m not debating, just curious for some examples. Thanks.

The fraud is the President and his family and cronies taking our tax dollars to line their own pockets

I'm just curious, pp: Were you born stupid or just dropped on your head as a baby? Your measures for "left" is abortion? Liberals aren't in favor of illegal immigration -- where do you come up with that stuff? And spare me your talk about "trans sports stuff" -- MAGA assured us they were only concerned about protecting the integrity of women's sports but just this last week your traitorous president and his quislings all mocked the women's hockey team. As for asking for IDs, where in Sweden's Constitution does it have language equivalent to our Fourth Amendment?

You're beyond ridiculous, short bus. Have a seat and shut up while adults speak.

Why do you use the same “I’m just curious… dropped on your head” comeback every time you comment on this site?

I just landed a job in Abu Dhabi with housing covered, health insurance provided and tuition free school for my children. I will be saving aggressively due to the lack of taxation in UAE. highly recommend anyone looking to build a bag for a few years instead of being fleeced as per your post, OP.
