But you probably believe in a higher power, which makes you insane. It is a bummer you are allowed to vote.

Democracy is such a bummer.

Seriously! And these are the very people who call people they disagree with, fascists and Nazis! Liberals have zero self-awareness.

Abortion is the not the only issue.

Economy, inflation, crime, public education, border, etc.

The main issue will be the economy and how food/gas/utility prices have gone up so far that the typical household has to cut back in other areas. The voters will always punish the party in power.

Abortion is a HUGE issue after RvW. At least for anyone with a uterus or knows someone with a uterus.

Republicans will be "punished" because they are extremists. Just look at the House of Delegates. Just look at the slate of candidates. Nobody wants crazy. We see what crazy is doing in the House right now.

Economy trumps abortion. If people feel pain in making ends meet, they Will vote for economics over abortion.

Sorry, hard to care about abortion if you have no job, no food, and no way to pay for your car/home. Economy comes first.

Someone really, really doesn't get it.

I’m sorry but county offices don’t control things like abortion lol. Anyone saying they absolutely “have to” vote for their incompetent Dem rep on the county board or school board due to “muh abortion” is arguing in bad faith and admitting the following: A) you know the current crop of Dem candidates are deeply flawed and they have done things objectively bad. B) you’re a partisan hack who would find any reason whatsoever to justify your Dem vote.

Don’t hide behind abortion when defending your vote for the crappy Dem candidate. They suck and you know it, just embrace your vote for them at this point.

Exactly this. So sick of morons inserting abortion into discussions about the school board.

Republicans continually use the abortion discussion as a political tool to bind the conscience of Christian voters; the Christians feel they MUST vote Republican or else they are sinnning. Republicans take advantage of this to get votes, then do whatever they (Republicans) want to do in office in area that are not related to abotion. So yes, the abortion issue matters.

Whatever you say. I’m a pro-choice Republican but abortion is not my only issue, especially this year. We get that it’s yours though.

Except you’re ok if abortion is banned in VA.

Except abortion isn't banned in VA.

If you are voting R for VA legislators then you are ok if they ban abortion.

No one said VA was going to totally ban abortion.

Have you not been paying attention?

The VA GOP has already pushed an abortion ban earlier this year.
https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?231+sum+SB1284

Youngkin has already explained on camera that he will mislead voters about his stance on abortion just to secure votes during an election.

Except this is not a ban you can get an abortion to 20 weeks/5 months into a pregnancy in VA.

A ban that is not a total ban is still a ban.

Lol no it's not a ban states like VA have limited time five months is a decent amount of time to get an abortion therefore this is not a ban!

DP. This is from the link a PP posted previously:

"An August survey by Virginia Commonwealth University found that Youngkin would win a hypothetical presidential match-up with Biden in Virginia."

First time you’re voting for a prolifer who is an election denier?

Oh please! You have to agree; any sane person agrees: the current board is a total disaster.

They are a single-party echo chamber. They have repeatedly indicated they won’t listen to anyone.

The only solution here involves electing at least a few Rs to the board.

The current board’s past behavior is indefensible.

What school board? I see a lot of "the school board is awful" without any county mentioned, let alone specifics if why they are awful. I think the whole thread is trolling.

+1

don’t be disingenuous. fcps.

This is a thread about Northern VA. Seems like you are lost.

What do you think FCPS stands for?

Not “Northern Virginia”

Come on now. What does FCPS stand for? We'll get you there.

Again, this is a thread about 2023 elections in Northern VA. There are several local jurisdictions and dozens of elections.

We get that you irrationally hate FCPS, but there are other elections the rest of us are discussing.

Typical woke deflection. FCPS stands for Fairfax County Public Schools. Fairfax County is in Northern Virginia. In fact, it's the most populous and most influential part of Northern Virginia. Some people want to discuss the elections in Fairfax County.

“Woke”? You sound really smart.

This thread is about NoVA elections. When someone was complaining about school boards, someone else asked, “What school board?“

Then school board complainer got butthurt because we didn’t know which of the many school boards he was referring to.

I agree with the earlier PP. Seems like a lot of trolling.

DP. "Many"? There are four school districts in NoVA: FCPS, LCPS, APS, PWCS. It's beyond obvious who the trolls are ^^^
