No. You need to choose. Be an adult.
You don’t listen to people who would otherwise vote straight ticket Dem. Voting straight ticket is not in our best interest. You don’t want us in the party. That much is clear. If you don’t value us, you won’t get all our votes.
I don’t understand this reply. Not choosing is stupid. Choose the least bad option. Just choose. Whether you vote straight blue or not is up to you, but leaving it blank or writing in someone who cannot win isn’t really making a choice - it’s leaving it up to others to decide and that’s wasting your precious right to choose.
If that’s the case, I’m not voting for Jay Jones to balance out the rest of the ballot.
What does “balance” look like to you? Not actually let Spanberger do her job? Congrats, you’re contributing to the dysfunction. Own it like an adult.
If you don’t trust either party, then that’s a solution.
Grow up. Seriously. You sound like a 13-year old.

The point is, it's not up to you whether someone wants to vote (or not vote) their conscience. It's up to them. It's also not up to them to control the outcome. It's up to them to stand for what they feel is right.
That is literally the point of voting.
Sure, there will be an outcome, but it's not my responsibility to make it the outcome you want.
It's your responsibility to choose an outcome you are comfortable with. If you are OK with MAGA that's on you. No one else.
If you choose to leave a blank or write in a third party candidate and you don’t vote against MAGA, that’s on you and no one else. This VA election is 100% a vote on MAGA. If you vote for any Republican and don’t vote for every Democrat, you are saying you don’t want any checks on MAGA. If Republicans are not defeated at every level, they will feel even more emboldened than they do now.

Jay Jones wasn’t wrong. And the things he said pale in comparison to what Americans decided they were ok with in the previous election.
I read this post earlier and, after thinking about it, it really spoke to me. I am upset at the state of our nation today and fearful about what the future will bring if Republicans are unchecked. I don’t know what it will take for things to get better. While I would never act on it, I admit wondering whether if Trump were to die that would solve the problem. Is that really any different than what Jay Jones texted?
He said he wanted to see the mom holding the dead kid’s bodies to teach her a lesson and that he would piss on their graves so yes, I would that that is really different from a high level “would things be better if Trump didn’t exist” thought.
But, TBH, he isn’t wrong.
He was also not wrong when he said, and I quote, “murder is merely a social construct.”

In your not so humble opinion.
