2021 VA Governors race

[Anonymous]

McAuliffe isn’t qualified to be on the ballot.

Guess he’ll have to run as a write-in.

No one with any actual legal training thinks that lawsuit is worth thr paper it's printed on. A judge already dismissed a similar case.

But hey shiny distraction from the fact that Youngkin's a troglodyte who wants to pass legislation that could risk women's lives.

Hopefully Texas reminds voters the Republicans mean what they say

Not a big fan of the Democratic nominee. But people who refer to Democrats as “leftists” and are pooping bricks over CRT are scary. The GOP doesn’t give a horse’s ass about education. You try to paint the Democrats as extremists but listen to you. It’s like a Fox News playbook. I’m not voting Democratic because I love the party. I’m just picking the lesser of two evils.

Just listen to yourself. You can deny it all you want, but the crap behind CRT - and its intentions - are out. (Your denial is right out of the CNN playbook.) The Dept of Ed got caught sneaking in that anti-white "let's disrupt whiteness" agitator website. (And if you take issue with the fact I call them agitators, take a look at their own website. They have a page entitled "Resources for Agitators." WTH?

So, I'm picking the lesser of two evils, as well. It's a no-brainer.

I don’t really watch CNN lady. You keep proving my point by assuming that I’m a crazy leftist just bc I disagree with you. I think you are in your on bubble of friends who all agree with you. The fact is that many NoVa parents disagree with you. The narrative I saw played out on social media (that is not associated with any particular party) is that the Loudon parents are a bunch of crazy fools. Not many people were calling them brave. There are lots of disappointed Democrats but they aren’t convinced by the GOP hysteria. By the way what are the intentions of CRT?

And P.S. Well duh....OF COURSE many NoVA parents disagree with me! NoVa is majority liberal. But the majority of Virginia other than NoVa is moderate-to-conservative, and the only way the Dem wins is by getting all those liberal NoVa votes. If they lose even 1/3 of the liberal NoVaites (new word; ya like?), then the Republican wins the governorship. Loudoun parents are upset, as are Fairfax parents of Asian students kicked out because the libs decided TJ was "too Asian," and then add in all the people who are shaking their heads at the far-left nonsense but afraid to speak up, and the race is VERY close.

NoVa is liberal but there is far-left follow the progressive line take-over in Virginia. VA had fine abortion laws that still exist but progressives wanted the 1 doctor sign off and right to abort viables as a product even in the last week of a full term pregnancy. Qarni and math went from his efforts to this to whatever now https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/virginia-advanced-math-classes-equity/2021/04/26/41f3dbd0-a6a3-11eb-bca5-048b2759a489_story.html

Peterson, a D, got involved and Youngkin said he'd fire everyone associated with the junk. VDOE does squat about the crap we put up with from FCPS from garbage bonds to program budgets to slop instruction to underutilized facilities.

Masks? I go in the grocery store and see many not wearing masks. Northam isn't requiring the Afghan evacuees to get vaccinated and overwhelmingly they choose not to get the vaccines. Where are our senators and house people on that at a state and federal level? MIA.

Ah yes but the so called Democrats want to send a message to everyone about their discontent about CRT, opening schools, and TJ admissions!

I kean seriously there's even some analysts saying women in Texas may have trouble getting ectopic pregnancies treated under this law. That's a death sentence.

this, which is what most people who want to ban abortion altogether do not understand.

an ectopic is NOT a viable pregnancy. EVER. But you know, the egg is fertilized, so....

Think, forced birthers. Seriously, this is what your ideological purity leads to.

You are putting a lot of power in the hands of a governor that he has not authority to have. Just because the Democratic president thinks he can unilaterally issue unconstitutional EOs, that doesn't mean that a governor will do the same.

In reality, what you are doing is fear mongering.

Well, they're executive orders (or actions), so by construction they're unilateral. And governors do indeed have power to direct a legislative agenda, and wield veto power. Youngkin may not be able to decree that all abortion clinics in Virginia be permanently shuttered, but you better believe he'll veto any efforts to further entrench abortion rights. That's not fearmongering - that's reality.

DP.

Virginia officials confirmed Friday that vaccination clinics are set up but said they are not being widely used.

"These people are just coming out of a war zone," Northam said. "They're landing in a new country. And so I think a lot of it is going to be educational. I don't think this is something you just automatically want to say, 'You need to get a shot.' So we're trying to at least handle some of these individuals with respect and, you know, kid gloves, rather than saying, 'Do this, do that.' "

Just 0.58% of Afghanistan's population is fully vaccinated, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

Absolutely. I"ll admit that I was a disenfranchised D - not too happy with school board decisions, upset at how VA handled it, but the TX ruling (Or lack thereof) has refocused my attention to the absolute crazy sh$t that Rs are capable of. I'd been worn and weary after the past four years but just found my second life. No way, not in VA.

I'm a D and I see some one else posted the citation requested from my post about Gov Doc Ralphie on NOT requiring covid vaccines for Afghan evacuees.
https://www.npr.org/2021/08/27/1031827480/afghan-evacuees-vaccination-dulles-virginia a repost. McAuliffe administration didn't do the weird stuff like the attempted it's a product for a viable full term failed legislation which D's were supposed to defend because it was a D endeavor. Also we didn't have whack jobs like Qarni ...

Fairfax County issues aren't so much partisan as they are feudal. Lee and Mount Vernon Districts control the county from BOS to FCPS school board with heavy input from Mason District. D's from other Magisterial Districts roll over rather forming coalitions that act in the best interests of their constituents.

I'm a Democrat and we haven't had a truly useful House of Rep person on the state or federal level since Frank Wolfe.
