[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone please summarize? If not school then what[/quote]

It is school, just not the CRT stuff or vaccine or mask mandates.[b] They’re angry that schools stayed closed for as long as they did and that the Democrats seemed dismissive of parents’ concerns about the resulting disruption and learning loss.[/b] I certainly understand their concerns but they do come off a bit self centered… like all that matters is them and their family, not the healthcare workers or teachers or the medically vulnerable. I think Democrats’ biggest mistake wasn’t necessarily closing schools, but for not showing more concern about the fallout now. Terry couldn’t even manage to fake it. He just didn’t connect with suburban women as much as he needed to. [/quote]

Yes, we all know this is why Youngkin won suburban moms who previously voted Democratic. Why is this such big news to this Pamela lady? Everybody else knew this.

McAuliffe was just a boring, uninspiring candidate. [b]If we'd had someone young, fresh, more progressive, they would have won.[/b][/quote]

You still don't seem to get it.  There is now a backlash to your "progressive" movement.  It's not selling.[/quote]
This. How do Dems not see that the progressive wing of their party is extremely unappealing to moderates and independents, i.e. the voters they need in order to win elections in purple states?![/quote]

As much as you want that narrative to be true, this election was not decided by moderates and independents, these people are not the ones that swung the election. MORE people voted in this election than ever before. The majority of them were from the southern, rural regions. Republicans (most of them invigorated by the Trump movement) came out in full force, like presidential election-level full force, and there were simply more of them than Democrats. If Democrats had run an Obama-type candidate, perhaps they would have inspired more young voters and minority voters who skipped this election to come out and vote.[/quote]

Obama voter, Biden voter here.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Youngkin gives me the same energized vibes that Obama gave me. I think he will be a force to be beat in the 2024 election.

Sorry that doesn't help you but if I'm right - the Dems are screwed. Because the man is good, [i]damned[/i] good.[/quote]

+100
That's exactly how I feel.  I've actually never been as enthused about any candidate before.  Maybe Bill Clinton, once upon a time.  Youngkin gives me all the feels.

Have either of you met the guy?  He comes across as a douchebag, IMHO, having met him via local gov channels. He was wise to mostly not say anything of substance during the campaign and let McAuliffe self-destruct. But it's so obvious that he just looks at politics as another avenue to make money for himself and his cronies, impact on actual people's lives be damned...[/quote]
