Considering what they have and continue to put us through, how anyone can give them their vote to “teach a lesson” to Dems is beyond me

Other than losing the House in 2006, 2018, and two presidential elections in between.
It is true they never had a reckoning over the Iraq War. This is what made it possible for Trump to get away with saying George W Bush knew there were no WMDs and should have been impeached.
Normally that should have been death in a Republican primary, but because they never resolved the issue, Trump was given a pass.

The reckoning over Iraq was in part what got Obama elected and instead of bringing accountability he opened the door to more abuses.

How are “Biden Democrats” not McAuliffe voters? I could see them not voting for Foy, but McAuliffe? Seriously?

Yeah, I'm also a bit baffled about why "Biden Democrats" wouldn't support McAuliffe.

As for "identity-based politics," nobody holds a candle to the Republicans.

In terms of personality, Biden is genuine, and McAuliffe is a phony; in terms of politics, McAuliffe has been directly and shamelessly pandering the left wing of the Democrats whereas Biden, at least personally, continues to strike a more moderate tone.

Youngkin will get a lot of votes from people in the state who traditionally vote for Democratic candidates.

You must not talk to many people who are actually in the left wing.

He's all in on the R culture wars

That means he understands proper science and grammar. Good start for a school district.

Now add in that Glenn Youngkin also said he would fire the DOE folks who are destroying advanced math.

Liar. They aren't touching advanced math.

GOP can't win without lying or cheating.

They are touching advanced math. They are getting rid of algebra, geometry, algebra 2 and blending them into other classes. The result will be little to no algebra 2, which means the path to calculus would require outside instruction.

More lies. Schools can offer advanced tracks or acceleration just as they do today. Stop lying.

The path to calculus today requires acceleration or extra classes. That isn’t changing.

Can’t run on an actual issue or platform so you need to manufacture one. Standard GOP.

I didn't say accelerated or advanced tracks. I said advanced math. Schools will not be able to offer algebra 2, except in VA DOE's blended version, and algebra 2 will be missing from this.

If algebra 2 were in it as is claimed, there would be no need for acceleration. You don't even understand what VMPI is doing, and you claim to call others liars for describing it.
There is no acceleration needed to take calculus under VMPI. VMPI is selling its proposal as having a path to calculus available for everyone.

My point is they are wrong about this(likely lying), and the usual path to calculus will be gone.

Stop lying.

Schools can still offer advanced math - which is achieved by acceleration. Just like they do today.

The A2 content would either be covered in the Essentials III and/or precalc. Or both.

Here is an example path they shared at the last session:


The only one lying here is you.

Agreed. How did he shamelessly pander to the far left, exactly? By supporting gay marriage? By pushing Republican legislators to take up Medicaid expansion made available by the ACA? By supporting background checks to buy guns?

The fact is that he governed as a pragmatic moderate, much like Biden is currently. It's likely that the PP is one of those types that froths at the mouth at the mere mention of anyone remotely associated with the Clintons.

Apparently it's a thing Virginians do.

Maybe omelets?

I assumed omelets too.

His dad lost his job when Glenn was in 7th grade. He got the flipping eggs job in high school. That's not how he portrays it.

Go ahead and malign me just like you do Youngkin and anyone else who doesn't support McAuliffe. Won't make me any less likely to support palatable Democrats in the future or any more likely to vote for McAuliffe when there is a decent alternative.

remember all the headlines about how Rs had to change to win nationwide elections after Romney lost?

then, they actually doubled down on the crazy.

they don't learn any lessons. Ever. They just figure out how to game the system

Only someone who is WAY at the end of the diving board can consider the policies implemented so far by the Biden administration as any version of moderate. If you polled the American people on each issue, you would find the Biden policies to be supported by a small subset on the left. Most people were aspirational when they voted for Biden as a moderate, but that isn't what is happening in reality.

If McAuliffe won’t reappoint Atif Qarni as Secretary of Education (or another person who will point VDOE in the same direction), then that would go a long way towards burnishing his moderate credentials. Stop overhauling governor’s school admissions, or do it in a time other than when kids are remote schooling. Don’t rehash the math wars in the name of equity. In fact stop talking about equity. Just use a science backed literacy curriculum through the whole state, teach a rounded view of history without demonizing anyone, and keep school buildings open. That’ll keep most parents happy.
