Firing Qarni will make education better. That's all he has to do.

So…gas prices?

The Republican Party is covering up 1/6 and whitewashing it into a peaceful protest and Virginia just elected one of them. It’s so depressing that people don’t care about our basic structure a country.

Youngkin is no Cheney, Kinzinger or Hogan. He did not denounce or distance himself from Trump but voters didn’t care. We are in for a rough several years.

I won’t vote to harm you. I won’t try to force you into a closet away from society. That doesn’t mean I have to like you or that I won’t call you out on your shitty behavior.

Voting for someone you don't like is not shitty behavior.

Why did you vote for that person? Still haven’t heard an explanation.

Because I read through McAuliffe's plans on his campaign website and didn't like them. And our Democrat-run city has been enacting policies that are 1) a waste of money and 2) not working and making things worse. I was actually pretty conflicted about who to vote for but decided on Youngkin.

Did you also read Youngkin’s plans?

Or were you just rejecting Ds and it had nothing to do with what Youngkin offered?

Thank you for responding.

I did read through his plans.

Day one priority. Also, appoint inspectors general to assess finances (especially dubious contracts existing or otherwise), curricula especially VPMI, hiring and retention, discipline policies, SpED, SROs, all of it!

Is cute that you think they’ll care about sped

“ While the party feuds over its vast social spending agenda, Republicans are highlighting issues that preoccupy voters more immediately, like a sluggish economy, high gas prices, expensive groceries, crime rates and concerns about the rights of parents to influence what is taught in schools. Those concerns in many cases have been exacerbated by a prolonged pandemic, which President Joe Biden declared all but over in July but that spiked over the summer in a new blow to an exhausted nation's morale.”

Nailed it.

He can’t. Thatissue wasn’t really about the assault, it was a proxy for their anti-trans agenda (even though the kid isn’t trans and the trans rights policies they’re fighting against weren’t put into place until after the assault occurred).

LCPS can be investigated for not reporting cases in violation of state law. Hopefully there are actually penalties for noncompliance that can be levied

And this whole thread illustrates that. And when called on it - more name calling. It’s pretty funny.

Agree. Behave like gutter trash- expect to be called out as such. There are reasons those things are said.

Face it. You put up a shitty candidate, and not enough people voted for him. That doesn’t make the people who voted for the other side “gutter trash.”

Face it. Most of the Youngkin votes were from uneducated whites.

Funny, I know plenty of women with college degrees and some with MAs that voted for him.

Unfortunately, they are still uneducated. Voting for him means you are with those who attacked our Capitol.

Sorry, I didn't realize that by "uneducated" you meant "voted for someone I don't like." Tautology.

Anonymous exit polls are not “facts.” But you knew that already.

I heard a lot of Latinos voted Youngkin. I don’t think it was just whites and the Ds need to reckon with that.

Asians too.

And Youngkin doubled the republican AA vote.

Did you even click the link — sorry, I don’t know how to post the screenshot. Every group, including Asians and Hispanics, voted for McAuliffe. White people voted for Youngkin by a lot.

I would be interested in what you’ve posted if the sample size weren’t minuscule! I think AAPI and Hispanics voted for Youngkin in far greater numbers.

So you have no evidence otherwise but because you “think” it, it is true?

Isn’t that the Republican mantra? Eff your facts, those are my feelings.
