Now it's time to draft some abortion protections so that when we get a Democratic governor in there in 2025, we can get it passed!

The Rs lost last night because of abortion (and guns but probably less so). I really wish there was a moderate party in the middle. NOVA overrun with way too progressive activists that get down in the trenches over culture war BS with the crazy right wingers in Richmond. We need more Chap Petersons.
We have moderates, they are called Democrats. Sure, there's always super lefties in local races but the Dems in state gov just want to gov to function properly, fund our schools, keep our rights (women and voting), enact minor gun safety regs and keep VA great economy chugging along (but not making us a third world country and not attracting businesses).

Somebody tell the Swifties that Youngkin was CEO of the Carlyle group that stole Taylor’s music! Talk about energizing a movement…

This is BS and really elitist. Your attitude is why rural folks hate Dems. Maybe you need to go door-knocking and speak with voters. Look at the "red" areas. Most over 42% of the vote. Sure, there are all super red districts just like there are super blue.

Oh no you and that garbage take can take a flying leap and move to Russia
Youngkin lied from day one
1. He’s an election denier when there was zero proof or any evidence of election fraud! Full stop 64 courts under oath hand on Bible Youngkin knew he lied.
2. Loundoun county mess that again all lies non existent crt crap.
3. Youngkin was going to do a six week ban he was caught on a hot mike he’s a liar!
4. Closing schools for covid we had a pandemic you idiot and the Republican Party didn’t care if people were dying. Fact more idiots who listened to Trump died in huge percentages. Hindsight is 20/20 we had a baffoon and liar in the wh we could have kept schools open but you idiots who couldn’t wear non invasive masks kept covid spreading like wildfires when doctors needed time to find cures. This is on Republicans not Democracts.
5. Last but not least Democracy is on the table anyone who voted for any republican is an idiot because when we lose Democracy we lose everything. Not sure why you morons do not understand we will have bread lines and Marshall law and if you think you will keep your guns after Dictatorship installed you really are dumb!
Do you or did you at the time have children in the LCPS? I did (we got the hell out of there this past summer). I saw first hand how deceptive the schools are, covering things up, exposing students to sexually inappropriate materials and on and on. The majority of people, like me, have just quietly packed and left. It’s not like this in other parts of the country for anyone reading this feeling like the county is failing your children. It’s just not… despite the bubble mentality that it’s the best!
DP in Loudoun (Ashburn) with children in elementary, and this has NOT been our experience. We are very happy with the education and experiences our children have had so far out our school, and the community and faculty are so involved and supportive.

The majority of people with students in LCPS have quietly packed and left? Really? LCPS enrollment is currently about 82,000; are you saying that it used to be over 160,000?

If NY state didn't have NYC is would be red. If Illinois didn't have Chicago, it would be red. If Washington didn't have Seattle, it would be red. Population centers vote blue, rural votes red. States become red when more people live in cities an inner suburbs than exurbs and the country
This is a serious threat to our democracy and United States. We shouldn't have an Urban Party and a Rural Party.
Urban vs. Rural has been the main political divide for all of history
Or you could say...
the racist, rich people & the suckers who believe them VS. the rest of us

I like your phrasing Urban Party and Rural Party, they fight between themselves, and the rest of are left feeling homeless (politically).

VA state legislators have very little to do with education compared to local school boards. Their elections focused on the bigger state-level issues like women's rights.
Chap was a Youngkin butt kisser. No thanks.
Maybe you disagree with Ds on some aspects of education, but they are still the better option. By a long shot.
