[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The case for Youngkin here seems to be long on rage, short on facts.  I understand why that’s compelling for some people, but it doesn’t bode well for good governance.[/quote]

Irrational and/or misinformed. [/quote]

You misunderstand. I'm not making a case for Youngkin.  I'm making a case for why the Democrats got Youngkin elected in part because of their horrible policies on schools.  I don't want Youngkin. I want a Democratic party that can stand up for its basic beliefs even if strong special interests within the party oppose them.  [/quote]

Right. Ds have to change tactics because some people tend to vote based on emotion or misinformation.

But what were D's who were upset about school closures, who really thought that it was was possible to open with mitigation measures (because other states and privates were doing it, because European countries were doing it) supposed to do?  No one listened.  The vote was the only thing that seems to have brought any attention to this.  I recall watching the fights in the school forums last year, and wondering why no one in the politics forums discussed the school closures *at all*.[/quote]
