Wow is right.

I lost what tiny respect of shred I had for Arlington teachers.


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.


It's like when APE shouted down the hispanic moms and told them they didn't speak for the Hispanics. Now they say that AEA doesn't speak for the teachers. uh huh.


Exactly.


It’s not just APE types questioning. Look at the AEM post. Crickets on the explanation.


Which post is this?


The one from 5 days ago sharing the endorsement. Also general puzzlement on the ARLNow post https://www.arlnow.com/2023/05/08/school-board-candidates-nab-more-endorsements-as-process-to-select-the-next-democratic-endorsee-kicks-off/

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.


If her priorities and values align with Youngkin then I don't think she's the right person for the job.


Fortunately there’s a section you can review to check on that https://www.mirandaturner.org/priorities-overview


Actions speak louder than words. She should come out and say if she voted for him or not.


+1. This should be easy for her. The fact that it's not speaks VOLUMES.

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.



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?


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

Miranda has not.




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.


I don't want a Youngkin voter who surrounds themself with MAGAs.



Exactly. I'm not the PP but I also don't want a Youngkin voter whose base is all MAGAs. Does that make me a LWNJ to the Miranda camp?

The better question might be why you keep saying that a) she’s a youngkin voter and b) who voter base is “all maga”.

Please help me to help you and just ask her who she voted for. And then go look at all of the Democrats who are not just supporting her, but endorsing her.

Where has she not cleared this up exactly? On DCUM????? Please specify. You're not going to troll click bait someone who has more than air between their ears to show up on demand to any old random website to make you feel special/heard/validated. She has said it a million different ways on a million different days. If you don't want to hear it, that's your problem, not hers. But, I digress, you can't argue with crazy, so, I'm out.

Not everyone who votes for her is her base. And I will walk that back, her base is not ALL MAGA. Her base has a lot of MAGAs in it and also a lot of DINOs who voted for Youngkin.

It's interesting to compare the current candidates' endorsements to Goldstein's endorsements from his last election.

https://www.reidgoldstein.com/endorsements/


Goldstein had endorsements from school board members when he ran. The only school board endorsement this time is Goldstein for Angelo. NO school board members have endorsed Miranda.

I like what Angelo says about this. From his website:

And let me be clear: the future of Arlington is at stake. We have seen our community and progressive education values come under attack from our MAGA, anti-education governor.

He's just dead wrong. I'll stand up to him, and stand up for Arlington instead.

We've even seen divisiveness, rancor, and a breakdown of trust on school issues in our very own community. We need to bring people together, not pit parents against teachers against students. I am running to invite everybody to the table.

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.



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?


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

Miranda has not.




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.


I don't want a Youngkin voter who surrounds themself with MAGAs.



Exactly. I'm not the PP but I also don't want a Youngkin voter whose base is all MAGAs. Does that make me a LWNJ to the Miranda camp?


Her base is not all MAGAs. I am far from a MAGA and I voted for her.


Not everyone who votes for her is her base. And I will walk that back, her base is not ALL MAGA. Her base has a lot of MAGAs in it and also a lot of DINOs who voted for Youngkin.


And she *chooses* to surround herself with MAGAs/Youngkin supporters. And bullies.

Goldstein had endorsements from school board members when he ran. [google]The only school board endorsement this time is Goldstein for Angelo. NO school board members have endorsed Miranda. [b]



Wow. That says a lot.

The better question might be why you keep saying that a) she’s a youngkin voter and b) who voter base is “all maga”.

Please help me to help you and just ask her who she voted for. And then go look at all of the Democrats who are not just supporting her, but endorsing her.


She could clear this up easily but she has not.


Where has she not cleared this up exactly? On DCUM????? Please specify. You're not going to troll click bait someone who has more than air between their ears to show up on demand to any old random website to make you feel special/heard/validated. She has said it a million different ways on a million different days. If you don't want to hear it, that's your problem, not hers. But, I digress, you can't argue with crazy, so, I'm out.


What do you mean she's said it a million different times? I have never seen Miranda say who she voted for in the gov election. If she did and I missed it, please post it.


I like what Angelo says about this. From his website:

And let me be clear: the future of Arlington is at stake. We have seen our community and progressive education values come under attack from our MAGA, anti-education governor.

He's just dead wrong. I'll stand up to him, and stand up for Arlington instead.

We've even seen divisiveness, rancor, and a breakdown of trust on school issues in our very own community. We need to bring people together, not pit parents against teachers against students. I am running to invite everybody to the table.
