Don't reflexively vote D.  Recognize the voracious and rapacious D appetite for ever-increasing amounts of income to redistribute to people who will vote D in return for increasing government largesse.  Don't kid yourself that voting D locally benefits the average homeowner and taxpayer in any tangible way, instead of the opposite.  [/quote]
The problem is that states run by Rs are banning abortion, legalizing discrimination against people, trying to overturn gay marriage rights, implementing crazy anti vaccine laws that threaten kids health, banning books in schools, requiring bible study in public schools, etc. I hate a lot of the dems tax and spend policies, but my kids becoming disabled or dying from measles is worse. I would rather be taxed more than live in a state run by crazy people untethered from reality who think ivermectin can cure the flu and that Covid Vaccines cause cancer. [/quote]

Did Youngkin do any of those things?[/quote]

Of course not.  Reflexive voting for candidates by party affiliation without bothering to drill down into what they actually intend is how you end up with policies you don't support, because many Ds are left-wing loonies, and plenty of Rs are unbalanced the other way.  You have to examine each candidate on their own merits, not by simple party affiliation.  [/quote]

He tried to do many of these things but failed because he did not control of the legislature. He advocated for a 15 week abortion ban after pretending to respect Virginia voters views in 2021. He vetoed bills that would prevent other states from targeting licensed medical professionals in Virginia that are legally providing abortion services in Virginia. He vetoed a bill that would protect the individual right to have birth control and IUDs in two separate years. As for the Rs in the state senate 84% of them voted against putting the constitutional amendment to protect gay marriage on the ballot in 2025. So yes, these statements are factually accurate and no I’m not a blindly partisan person. He is a snake, I would gladly vote for someone with integrity like Phil Scott or Charlie Baker, but we don’t get any sane governor candidates from that side of the aisle in VA anymore. [/quote]
