[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Virginia GOP proved that it can whip up racist white enthusiasm, and win at the ballot box, without Donald Trump.[/quote]

Yes, it's always the other person that's the problem.  You are perfect.  :roll:

Unbelievable!

As the other PP pointed out, what's the Dem strategy to target moderates like me?  [/quote]

It can be both, you know? Yes, there were many failings on one side; but it is also true that Youngkin whipped up white racist enthusiasm.

As far as moderates like you: there has been plenty of things that McAuliffe (very much a moderate) and the current governor did that should appeal to you. Strong economy, elimination of rape kit back log (HUGE). Expanding medicaid. Leader in education, much as people would have you believe otherwise.

Youngkin is opposed to gay marriage, is not pro choice, and will reduce everything to pure dollars and cents. He will have ZERO affect on local school board issues or FCPS. This scenario is not something that typically appeals to moderates. If you are one, you should be concerned about what you just voted for. [/quote]

I did not vote for Youngkin but voted McAuliffe for all the reasons you mention.

A lot of folks are pissed off at the school board for their wrong focus during the pandemic and what they perceive as anti-merit policies and voted for Youngkin out of spite. I clearly understand that the school board being ultra liberal/lefty/whatever is not a reflection of McAuliff but he was the available target for their anger.  Now it's his party's job to educate their minions on the SB to do their job or risk losing future elections.  [/quote]

I voted Democrat for all those reasons as well.

And I can easily look at how the COVID response in this area pissed off tons of families and hurt people. We should have been back in school 5 days a week in February last year. The damage to kids by staying out of schools is high.

The focus on social justice issues in the schools is ridiculous. If you teach kids to read, write, and think they will be able to look at evidence and draw conclusions that are probably more in line with mainstream thought then the far right propaganda that you worry about. The kids whose parents are white supremacists and honestly believe that crap are not sending their kids to FCPS and their kids minds are not going to be changed because of the "counseling" hour in ES discussing feelings and social justice topic of the day.

The Democratic Party in Virginia has a lot of Progressives in it that want to see Bernie and his policies pushed through and fail to recognize that Moderates and Independents are just not looking at those policies as valid or optimal. And if you give them a choice they are either not going to choose, and stay home and not vote, or they are going to vote for the Republicans. This is known. There are books written on it. So why the hell won't the Democrats of NoVA learn the damn lesson and accept where they are.

Because the results of this latest election are far more damaging then running on platforms that are moderate and trying to force the social justice agenda that most people are not interested in down their throat.

So yeah, lets set back a womans right to choose and Gay rights and all sorts of other important issues so that we can fight over social justice in the form of lowering standards in schools in the name of social equity. Rah us
