[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You realize that McAuliffe has already been governor, right? This “socialist dystopia” that I’m seeing referenced to here didn’t happen. Virginia under the democratic governors has been a pretty well run state with reasonable taxes. Some of the things people are complaining about - permits, school things - are local elections. I made some non-D choices in my local elections, but for the state and federal, no way would I vote for what passes as the Republican Party today.[/quote]

Yep and he can't seem to point to any accomplishments or efforts to highlight which is why people aren't voting for him.  :roll: He's a Clinton campaign hack and the last thing we need right now - straight liars.[/quote]

What worries me about McAuliffe is that he personally has no principles, while the Democratic Party as a whole in Virginia has veered far left.  I want checks and balances on the locals running school boards and that’s the last thing he’s going to provide - in fact, he owes his political career to the same types of hacks who elevate performative acts of wokeness over competence and a focus on the basics. Since the Democrats are likely to remain in control of the state House of Delegates, having someone to balance their influence is important. My vote goes to Youngkin. [/quote]

Exactly. Mc will indulge the lunatic fringe currently at the helm of the Democratic Party. Also, though I never thought I’d favor things like school choice, the past year changed my mind. I really wanted (and want) an option other than my public school which obviously privileged every concern other than their main mission, educating students. [/quote]
