Weird! My ballot in Loudoun had D/R next to all the names!
Crazy right? I spent like 20 minutes voting because I had to look up so many names. It’s deceitful as hell! I’m so glad it didn’t work, and we flipped both VA chambers!

I gotta say that I find this trend of voting all D simply because one wants to “stick it” to Trump disturbing. Typically, someone who does this has no knowledge or awareness of the people they’re voting into local or state office — positions BTW which have more impact on day-to-day life than the Office of President or Congress.
Don’t forsake your reason for emotion. Empower yourself. Do the research beforehand. Vote for the candidates, not blindly against Trump, McConnell, or McCarthy. Maybe the outcome on the ballot is the same, but at least you can walk away from the polling booth knowing that you exercised your constitutional duty with some integrity.
Integrity is also about ensuring that there is a check on POTUS and his cronies at every level. Not voting to restore balance is arguably more of an abdication of your constitutional duty. These are not normal times and your POV ignores the forest for the trees.
Seems like you think the whole Republican “forest” is diseased; it’s not.
It is.
