Well, the loser is old. The winner is in the prime of his life.

Yes, we all know this is why Youngkin won suburban moms who previously voted Democratic. Why is this such big news to this Pamela lady? Everybody else knew this.

McAuliffe was just a boring, uninspiring candidate. If we'd had someone young, fresh, more progressive, they would have won.

You still don't seem to get it. There is now a backlash to your "progressive" movement. It's not selling.

This. How do Dems not see that the progressive wing of their party is extremely unappealing to moderates and independents, i.e. the voters they need in order to win elections in purple states?!

As much as you want that narrative to be true, this election was not decided by moderates and independents, these people are not the ones that swung the election. MORE people voted in this election than ever before. The majority of them were from the southern, rural regions. Republicans (most of them invigorated by the Trump movement) came out in full force, like presidential election-level full force, and there were simply more of them than Democrats. If Democrats had run an Obama-type candidate, perhaps they would have inspired more young voters and minority voters who skipped this election to come out and vote.

Obama voter, Biden voter here.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Youngkin gives me the same energized vibes that Obama gave me. I think he will be a force to be beat in the 2024 election.

Sorry that doesn't help you but if I'm right - the Dems are screwed. Because the man is good, damned good.

That's exactly how I feel. I've actually never been as enthused about any candidate before. Maybe Bill Clinton, once upon a time. Youngkin gives me all the feels.

Have either of you met the guy? He comes across as a douchebag, IMHO, having met him via local gov channels. He was wise to mostly not say anything of substance during the campaign and let McAuliffe self-destruct. But it's so obvious that he just looks at politics as another avenue to make money for himself and his cronies, impact on actual people's lives be damned...

The funniest thing was hearing that McAuliffe couldn’t attack Youngkin on his career with (I think) the Carlyle group because ol’ Terry himself made so much money with them.

That’s why he spent so much energy hollering “Trump Trump and Trump but Trump Donald Trump Trump Trump Trump!”

Yep. Low IQ folks getting spun up by a right leaning media landscape on topics they literally know zero about and would end up benefitting them and their brood. But no, Earl and Betty Lou are happy in their Midwestern or Southern bubble. After all, they got a double wide.

I don't know why we let them vote. Maybe we need an electoral college at the state level for governors.

Maybe.

Youngkin doubled Cheetos percentage of black women voters, after all. If these people can’t see what’s best for them, protective steps need to be taken. We can’t let the next Republican get 12 or 15% of them.

I laughed, then realized that you’re serious.

Nah - I just know when to listen to the experts - unlike the FCPS school board - when the health dept. approved of the hybrid plan to open in Summer 2020.
But I do have particular educational expertise as well, haha.

Please provide evidence of this as I couldnt find any announcement besides this https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/fairfax-schools-fall-coronavirus-plan/2020/06/24/2eacfe92-b62d-11ea-aca5-ebb63d27e1ff_story.html which happened in June 2020 allowing students to either be 2 day in person or full remote.

I thought about reporting this, but as others have pointed out - it's so much more instructive to simply let you hang yourselves out to dry. Best of luck!
