Afghanistan and Covid are crushing Biden right now. All it takes is the supreme court reversing Roe or something like that and suddenly we are in a completely different climate A moderate Republican winning Virginia is just completely whatever in terms of national politics Its definitely not great for Dems, but yeah the VA Gov race has gone to the opposite party of the president 11 of the past 12 times (every time except 2012). The thing Im most worried about is the extent to which it increases the odds that Trump will run again in 2024 and/or Rs will continue to embrace Trumpism (since thats probably more determined by the narrative than whatever the true causes of the shift were). If 2022 goes differently though no one will be thinking about 2021 races in 2024. --- Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ! <cite>LordoftheMorons posted [p:959638512] in Politics C...
