Sure doesn't seem like Mr. MAGA Miranda aligns with the values of the Democratic party.

It's an open caucus, just sign the stupid pledge that isn't in any way enforceable. So what if her husband voted for her. My spouse would vote for me because they're my spouse, even though we're not fully aligned politically.

Are you saying you are fine with lying on a pledge? Is Miranda's husband ok with lying on a pledge?

Loyal Dems have been telling others to sign that stupid pledge long before Miranda got in a race. I was told in MOG’s Race “sign it, it can’t be enforced”. That same person later went on to defend this farce of a caucus when ACDC voted on it.

I hate the pledge and won’t be clutching my pearls over it.

But is Miranda's husband going to sign it? He's an attorney too right? Would there be consequences for him if he lies on it?

You know what? If he signed the pledge and voted in the caucus, I'm betting my life savings and all I own that (1) he voted for Miranda and (2) will vote for Miranda as the Democratic endorsee in November. So what's the problem?

Your focus on her husband is truly incredulous. But it only shows that you can't really prove Miranda is not a Democrat because you have to harp on her husband so much. I married a Republican. Does that mean I'm not really a Dem?

We need more info...

Who did you vote for? Youngkin?

Did your husband vote for Youngkin?

Does he support Asra Nomani/Ian Prior and other RWNJ nutters?

Did he call "leftie moms" stupid?

Do you surround yourself with bullies/MAGAs?

Also, who is the sad person who has posted that one picture four times now? I think you are a little obsessed. Time to move on. Is your goal to get it on every page of this thread?

Ditto. I also know lots of NOVA suburban women who are Democrats married to Republicans.

Ok, are their husbands regular Republicans or misogynist MAGA Republicans?

Actually it doesn't even matter unless all these NOVA suburban women are also running for APS school board?

+1

Bottom line - she has demonstrated, best case, that she doesn't stand up to MAGAs/Youngkin/bullies.

Worst case, she is a Youngkin supporter.

Either way, she's not a good fit for the APS school board.

I am absolutely convinced this is one commenter over and over. Maaaybe 2; but I'm betting it's one trying to make it look like more.

There are multiple posters who think Angelo is the best choice this year. He's willing to stand up to MAGAs/bullies. Miranda has already demonstrated that she's not willing to do that.

What gave you that impression? He’s just repeating platitudes. He won’t even stand up to Lisa.

also note the fact that there were literally 1336 votes- that is an absolutely tiny number of people voting to determine the next school board member. This caucus endorsement process is so messed up.

The kid got more than I expected especially considering he barely campaigned. Obviously there was little enthusiasm for either candidate if turnout was the lowest in recent years.

I did not vote because I viewed him as a non-issue

1 in 4 caucus voters wanted someone, anyone over MT.

She only had 1000 supporters come out. It shows how little support she and AEM have.

I voted for Angelo because I wanted pretty much anyone other than MT. But I prefer Miranda over the anti-trans guy running as an independent, so I will be voting for MT in November

Sanity prevails!!!! Phew

Watch how fast Angelo will move out of Arlington. He has no interest in this community or schools whatsoever.

We have a fairly engaged community. They weren't interested in either candidate.

Guess that's what happens when the bullies/MAGAs scare away all of the decent candidates.

Don’t forget that if not for the Dem caucus the pool of candidates would be much larger. How many federal employees have been basically shut out because Arlington Dems insist on this process?
