Still throwing that tantrum, huh?

So irrational. [/quote]

Keep digging. You'll lose even more in the next election cycle.[/quote]

Yes, jerks will lash out in spite whenever they are called out for their bad behavior. [/quote]

You haven't successfully called out anyone. You are just flailing. So not only are you incompetent, you are providing an object lesson in Democratic failure for the class. [/quote]

I’ve been calling people out for their tantrums for over a year now. [/quote]

Not successfully. You do seem to be doing a bang-up job of campaigning for the Republican party, though.[/quote]

If you are measuring my success on whether I was able to stop the tantrums by calling them out, then it’s true that I failed. Tantrums continue today. [/quote]
You might be more successful if you stop pretending everyone who disagrees with you is "having a tantrum."  If you treat adults like they are two years old, you really should not be surprised if they vote against you.[/quote]

I wonder if that poster is actually a Republican troll trying to get people to vote Republican. [/quote]
+1 to it being a troll. They have the same line about tantrums on repeat and no real response to anyone that actually engages them.[/quote]

I have engaged in good faith for over a year. I called out the tantrums. The parents cursing at teachers over zoom. Screaming at school board meetings. It was disgusting.

I’m not running for office. If you are voting based on comments from anonymous posters on a mommy website then we have bigger issues with grown a$$ adults throwing tantrums. Which they did. And continue to do.

With all of your good faith efforts, I don’t quite understand your failure to acknowledge the current shortcomings of the Democratic Party, of which there are plenty. If they don’t take a good hard look in the mirror, and at the progressive wing of their party in particular, they are going to lose control of Congress in 2022 and the White House in 2024. I don’t disagree that the behavior of many parents at school board meetings was disgusting, but you’re also throwing insults at people who chose instead to speak at the polls and oust Democratic leadership for how they handled have managed schools during the pandemic. No one here has intimated that they based their votes on posts on a mommy website, and your continued insistence that anyone who voted for Youngkin did so because they are unintelligent or irrational is getting old. But hey good luck with this attitude in the next round of elections, seems like a winning formula   :roll:  [/quote]

I have acknowledged the Ds’ failures. Just not on this particular sub-thread.

This one is about the people who did behave poorly. Including rewriting history or lying about the closures. The surge was absolutely a concern. Schools weren’t “closed for well over a year”. People constantly complain about comments on here “turning votes to R” - even on this thread.

Perhaps if the top PP had posted in good faith we could have had a different discussion here.

I’ll add a third category to Youngkin voters: Republican.

So either they are: 
- Republican - some combination of pro-life, anti-taxes/gov’t services, anti-equality 
- ignorant - believed misinformation (no, nobody was lining up kids by race in VA)
- understood the facts but were ANGRY and voted on emotionally rather than pragmatically

Hm. Are you secretly a Trump Republican? [/quote]
