Del only has 3 counties? Are you even a state?93henfan wrote: ↑Tue Nov 02, 2021 6:32 am Virginia isn't deep blue, which is the reason Youngkin still has a slim chance to win. If you want deep blue, come to Delaware. Two decent, hard-working rural counties held hostage by one urban one with a bunch of welfare recipients. Hasn't gone for a GOP president since I was in high school (88 Bush). Gov, both US senators, US rep, both chambers of statehouse all blue.
Completely overlooking the "urban" county more resembling Howard County Maryland than anything in the DMV, Baltimore or Philly. But yeah, three F'ing counties.kalm wrote: ↑Tue Nov 02, 2021 7:56 amDel only has 3 counties?

Well, it might not be as deep as DE amd some others, but it is at least ‘solid’ blue. I would say that any state that voted for Biden by double digits and was one of only (actually 13) I think states that hit the quadfecta is at least solid blue:93henfan wrote: ↑Tue Nov 02, 2021 6:32 am Virginia isn't deep blue, which is the reason Youngkin still has a slim chance to win.

I believe there are a lot of moderates that think this way. The longer delusional Trumpists hold sway the harder it will be for the Republican Party to over moderates and win elections.In any case, Republicans can't have my vote while still insisting Joe Biden stole the election from Donald Trump despite all the evidence. My head is with the Democrats, but my heart is with Youngkin and the Republicans.
...
I long to deliver a message to the progressives who have grown to dominate the Democratic Party: You won't be able to hold onto power, not for long.
If Youngkin wins, it will be a dagger to the heart of progressives, and I'll cheer. Here are four reasons:
My head knows that Republicans are a threat to our democracy, without which we can't fix our problems, but my heart understands that Democrats are making our problems worse.
- Out-of-control spending ..
- Chaos at the border ...
- Abortion extremism ...
- Defund the police ...
- Critical race theory...

Terry McAuliffe, as chairman of the DNC stated that George W Bush did not legitimately win the Presidential election and has not to this day.
Which one is perceived to be a danger to democracy?
The latter from what I’ve seen. His win could be huge as it would show a middle path, alienating Trump.UNI88 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 02, 2021 10:00 amFYP - perception matters more than reality.LeadBolt wrote: ↑Tue Nov 02, 2021 9:57 am Glenn Youngkin has indicated that Joe Biden legitimately won the 2020 Presidential election.

I haven't really followed the race that closely - has Youngkin denounced Trump's false claims or is he playing both sides in order to appear rational while not alienating MAGAts?
Fucking phenomenal. The people of VA have been awoken.
Hopefully Dems keep campaigning on "as a parent you should have no say in your kid's education".
Now seeing projections that the VA house of delegates will flip to Repub. control as well.
