Trump is not taking away anyone's right to vote. Both the Dems and Republicans are to blame for the government shutdown, the Fed was too big and filled with ineptitude (that was well know talk around DC) that you could joke about a bad employee never being fired but just re-assigned. Give me logical, rational reasons and I will listen.


Have you been paying attention at all?? if you have kids in HS you need to wake up. Trump is setting this country up to help the super wealthy and that’s it. I have no optimism for the future job market due to AI and all the company consolidation that is being allowed. Unemployment is going up. Housing costs and food costs, healthcare costs. All expensive and the current administration could care less. Very very worried for my children and all these hysterics about bathrooms in HS are so the least of our problems.


I’m worried about this, too, just like you. However, the Democrats are not helping with their policies to which they still hold on to; intentionally eliminating merit on all fronts and instead only rewarding a perceived disadvantaged background. Opening the country, schools, and colleges to limitless influx, and enrollment of foreigners (they didn’t start this, but they will double down on it), and it’s now come to a tipping point that will be put into overdrive with the AI revolution and the elimination of jobs in the millions…. the elimination of so many jobs across all fields and income levels, with even more competition for what remains.

DP. What are you even talking about? Trump is the one who has made it easier for over half a million Chinese nationals to enroll in college. Also thanks to trumps policies soon everyone’s kids will be from a disadvantaged background. Look at the people Trump promotes and tell me again that he cares about merit.


+1 Trump has also cut grants for research and technology which help spur American businesses in favor of giving tax cuts to billionaires who will replace your kid's career prospects with AI. All the while running up fiscal deficits and cutting health care benefits in ways that will make our economy less productive.

The fact that many parents are still in an uproar over transgender student policies while Trump is torching the future for our kids is incomprehensible.

Some voters aren’t driven by facts or reason.

Tide is turning on the GOP attempt to make trans kids the biggest problem in the known universe.

VA Governor’s race is largely decided. Down ballot will be more interesting.

Do they an interest in advancing all black people in VA or just one black person?



neither - their interest is advancing all Black Democrats in VA, and all non-Black Democrats.


Based on what exactly?

Democrats aren’t vindictive a-holes. You must be thinking of Trump.


Based on the fact that they are supporting a White candidate over a Black candidate who has an opportunity to be first ever Governor of the Commonwealth.

Without profanity, name calling, or Trump bashing, can you explain why the NAACP would endorse a White candidate over a Black one other than partisan politics. I bet you can't.

Because the NAACP is supporting the candidate whose policies will be MOST beneficial to POC in the state of VA. Simple.

Because they support ALL black people in VA, not just ONE black person.

Because the Black candidate doesn’t stand for my values? I’m not going to vote for someone *just because* of her skin color. That’s not how this works. You assume Dems are all about picking people just because of skin color vs. qualifications. Not the case.

Republicans are fine with Trump firing people just because of their race or gender.
