I’m voting for McAuliffe tomorrow. Don’t know anything about the candidate, other than the other dude hitched himself to Trump. He doesn’t look like a domestic terrorist, but still.
Also, f this guy and I sure hope he loses. That goes for anyone who thinks like this. I’m switching my registration to Republican later. At least I should have a chance at voting for someone in the primaries.
Smells like the NY Post never stops acting like a tabloid.
“We’ve got to diversify our teacher base here in Virginia,” he told supporters. “Fifty percent of students at Virginia schools — K-12 — 50 percent are students of color, and yet 80 percent of the teachers are white.
Beyond Emanuel, the Clinton crowd is largely gone from American policymaking. Bill and Hillary Clinton are now afterthoughts in the Democratic Party of 2021. Hillary Clinton is the one candidate in the entire world to lose to Donald Trump in a general election, and Bill Clinton’s sordid escapades look irredeemable in the cold harsh light of the #MeToo movement. You still see Al Gore, Madeleine Albright, James Carville, and other figures from that era quoted here and there, but they’re largely in the metaphorical retirement home of American politics. Monica Lewinsky turned 48 this past July and George Stephanopoulos is still an anchor at ABC News, but by and large, the Clinton era of American politics is over, as dated as Windows 95, the Macarena, the sound of dial-up Internet, and “Mambo No.5.”
Youngkin’s only up 110k with 11% outstanding…still plenty of room for McAuliffe. This race goes to show, yet again, what a mistake early voting is. Elections should measure who the population wants to win on a specific date.
But we’re choosing people for a long term based on a range of facts about them. I get your point, but I don’t see why everyone has to have the same understanding on the same day when they vote. The day after we vote we could find out something we didn’t know, or that what we thought we knew was wrong.
