Political melties are the best

It's telling how people like you never have a real point to make

It's always "lol, look how triggered people are!" like they don't have a reason to be

Just look at what's happening *right now* in Florida and Texas.
This is a serious life-and-death situation for many people.

He's a conservative

That inherently means nothing he wants to do is good for the public

Dems need to help get these masochists to stop voting

Great. Now we get more CRT discussions. Yay.

The funny thing is that CRT isn't even a thing in Viriginia. However, Republicans are the masters of propaganda while the Democratic Party is too stupid to run effective propaganda.

The question is why are people letting the greater of two evils win? Sure democrats are the lesser of two evils, but that makes them LESS evil.

"we have to vote democrats to stop the evil villains from killing us all" has been something democrats have been trotting out since the 60s and it almost never works because whenever they win nothing much tangibly changes. it eventually becomes a war of messaging and republicans are, and pretty much always have been, way better at making people feel like their lives are or are going to become functionally better with them in charge

Sure, and there are more "good" or at least not fucking evil people who are just not voting.

That and they're just ignorant to politics. People still think that the president of the US holds all the power to make change. Imagine if every eligible/potentially eligible voters are educated in politics on a town level on up.

Nothing tangibly changes is far better than making things worse. Allowing republicans to win is literally shooting your self in the other foot.

watch him in some videos and listen to his plans I don't think anyone could hate him.

The idiot promises to limit abortion. Ban vaccine mandates. Ban CRT as if that matters for anything.

I looked him up just so I can be well informed and it seems that he's your garden variety GOP c***.
  • Its Youngkins pledge to ban critical race theory, though, thats become the centerpiece of his campaign.
  • Youngkin saying hell bring new perspective as someone who just left the business world for politics.
  • Youngkins tax policies, including the GOP nominees aspirations of eliminating the state income tax altogether
  • His campaign cites crime data that shows murders hit a 20-year high last year, though the same data shows the overall crime rate actually decreased and, in either case, the laws in question had largely not gone into effect yet.
  • In addition to his promise to require a police officer in every school
  • Youngkin, on the other hand, has explicitly said there should not be a statewide school mask mandate in Virginia. Hes also opposed vaccine mandates, though hes encouraged Virginians to get the shots voluntarily.
  • Youngkin meanwhile has walked a careful line on the subject, despite a broad scientific consensus that carbon emissions are a primary driver of climate change. During an October roundtable at Norfolk State University, Youngkin said that while he knew climate change is a challenge, particularly in Hampton Roads, he didnt know whats causing it. Asked if humans play any role at all in the warming of the earth, he skirted the question and called it one of these topics that, candidly, people are trying to use to divide people.
  • Youngkin has largely avoided weighing in on the issue, but told the Associated Press that he feels called to love everyone. However, pressed as to whether he intended to convey support for same-sex marriage, he said no. Youngkins staff then abruptly ended the interview.

it doesn't matter. this country is so insanely partisan right now that you already have a majority of people who are going to vote one way or another no matter what their chosen politician says or does.

the remaining middle is left with two parties who tell you that the world is going to end if one or the other gets elected, for real for sure this time. republicans tell you they're going to prevent this by giving you goodies and democrats tell you they're going to do this by not really offering any incentive and just telling you it's your solemn duty to defeat evil

when people have been stuck in the same rut for decades upon decades at this point, they're going to vote for the guy telling them they're going to be throwing everyone ropes. the democratic party needs to radically shift its messaging
