Why Did Democrats Lose Virginia, Lock, Stock, & Barrel?

[hadit]

No Democrat made race an issue. In the case of Virginia, it was made an issue by the right wing after McAuliffe made the unforced error of bleating out that parents should stay out of their children's education. That morphed into a non-existent issue of teaching CRT to young, doe-eyed children..which it isn't..like anywhere. Alt-right media picked up on the talking point and it spread like wildfire. Democrats had no response or no counter message to it. Hence, you got what you got on Tuesday.

The right didn't make race an issue either. Parents wanting to have an influence over what their children are taught is colorblind.

The greatest spectator sport for Leftists is SLANDER. If you didn't vote for McAuliffe then you are a racist.

Why do people act surprised when it happens? It happens every time.

 

[LeftofLeft]

McAuliffe was not a great candidate

Republicans humped the nonsensical CRT issue to get out their base...and their base came out

Dems haven't been able to get their agenda through Congress so THEIR base is not excited

This was an off off year election

Delta feels like Biden has not addressed the virus well enough

Afghanistan was ugly


Anything else?

CRT is nonsensical. The time spent spewing CRT could be well spent on critical thinking and mathematics. There is no way Math can be racist.

Right-wingers are worse and have no problem (thread) banning those who have more than ad hominems for arguments.

Biden says it is because his agenda has not passed. The right says Democrats actually lost because of the agenda they were trying push, even though they're not there yet. What say you?

Virginians are tired of the Msrxist Democrat shit...

CRT is NOT being taught in schools so...that was a pointless post

White conservative innocents answering the dog whistle.

Overall, Democrats shot themselves in the foot by farting around on the infrastructure bills and not getting it done before the election.

Republicans exploited fear about non existent Critical Race Theory and masks in schools
They also blamed inflation, supply shortages and gas prices on Democrats

They should blame those things on democrats......the truth hurts
But you guys love CRT, but man when people talk about it, you change that subject fast.......don't want people to know whats going on.
I love the it's not being taught argument.....well we know you WANT it to be taught, so we'll just stop that conversation before it begins......telling parents to mind their business, shows how democrats think children are theirs and not the parents.

Why the Rats lost Virginia?

Because of this.

Should it be taught in schools? Stand or stand down.

Even though no public school in Virginia or the rest of the USA is teaching CRT or proposing it

GOOD. Let these idiots continue living in denial so they keep repeating the same mistakes.

No...and it's NOT being taught

What shouldn’t be taught in schools is that 2020 was a stolen election

We need to pass laws against it

Where is the notion that the 2020 Election was stolen being taught as a course? Where is there curriculum built around it?

We need to teach students that President Trump was a sore loser crybaby and made up a lie that he was cheated and the election was stolen
Future students need to learn that Trump lied, tried to tell his lies to the courts, bullied election officials, bullied his Vice President to overrule the states and eventually sent a mob to stop Congress from certifying the election

They used to fear mongering about Sharia Law

 

[Nostra]

Republicans, certain because of tRump's Big Lie that Democrats were going to cheat, cheated.

None of the above. It was about messaging fear via CRT to white suburban voters over a period of weeks leading up to the election...and the Democrats having no message response to counter it. Result?...pretty typical of an off year election. The President's party usually takes losses. But it was close.

Anything else?

1. Shortage of goods with the current cargo traffic jam

2. Critical Race Theory even though it isn't taught in the state

3. COVID vaccinations

4. High gasoline prices


All these things will work themselves out and be gone by next year.

Your local deligate did not have to win the state and Youngkin specifically tried to distance himself from Trump, because he knew he would lose in VA if he didn't.

It was a very close election, y'all barely won.

These posts are hilarious.

McAuliffe lost because he is a left wing notjob fuckstick. He cemented his loss when he told VA parents to butt out of their kids education and let the Government indoctrinate them.

Other than that, his entire platform and vision for VA was:

TRUMP!
RACISM!
TRUMP!
RACISM!
TRUMP!
RACISM!

In short, he had nothing to offer.....which is par for the course for anyone from the Dimwinger party.

Republicans were expected to win.
