P.S. The Islamist Mayor-Elect and the nearly 1 million Muslims in the city would ordinarily be thrilled to drive Jews out - like what happened in all the Arab countries - but there’s one problem: they need their money.

Such a great point.

is it?...a REAL independent is an independent because they have a problem with both parties ....how can one say he is an independent when they are backing one of the 2 parties?...a real INDEPENDENT has nothing to do with both parties....if you back one of the parties then you are part of that party...

Stop being stupid. Are you pro choice? Are you for giving billionaires more tax breaks? Are you for illegal immigrants?

How can you be independent on these issues?

Maybe they aren't for illegals but they don't like the way ICE is acting? Maybe they are pro choice but fiscally conservative?

You may be right. Once cracks in MAGA became outright division the losses may pile on. We will see how the tariff decision goes, it could spell doom for America if you cannot raise revenue and protect industries from imports the same way other nations do. Also, if the next Dem takes over, the U.S probably goes into hyler inflation.

Tariffs are not bringing in the revenue necessary and will not. When the next Democrat takes over, they will be cleaning up a huge mess made by Trump. You read propaganda nd believe it, but the facts in this country are that Democrats create more jobs, and are far better on the economy than Republicans. There will be no hyperinflation if a Democrat takes over.

Just another reflection of the American empire in decline. People are confused and scared and will vote for anything or anyone who gives them a glimmer of hope. When this Governor fails, the people will vote for the next Socialist liar.

Its weird, how the Republicans didn't run a competent alternative.

Shocked is clearly a lonely conservative living in Canada.

The fact is shockedcanadian couldn't afford healthcare if he/she moved to America. He/She would run back to Canada and get in line for that free healthcare.

Abigal Spanberger is now the Governor of Virginia.

Republicans better recognize!

Virginia elects Democrat Abigail Spanberger as state's first woman governor

Spanberger’s campaign asked voters to weigh in on Trump’s second term and promised to address cost-of-living issues.

Obviously, racism played a big role, right? All those democrats refusing to vote for a strong black woman. That's all you required to shriek about racism when Harris lost, so why are you silent now?

No one votes for women. Trump proved that twice. Not even women vote for women.

The only way a white woman won was she was running against a black woman auntie Tammy.

IOW, racism, just like I said. It's not my fault, I voted for the black woman, so now it's time to resist.

Virginia is Blue, period.

Democrats have now won 3 of the last 4 Governor races.

Trump never won Virginia in three elections.

Virginia has two Democrat Senators.

Virginia is Blue. There is no surprise here. None.

I think it's an upgrade from the last DemoKKKrat governor they had:

I voted for the black woman, too. Yet IM2 will continue to scream “waaaaaacist!!” at us.

The further left Virginia becomes, the worse it is for Jews. Thr antisemitism in the schools is off the charts, at least in northern Virginia where the liberals live.

Now let’s see if the liberals will vote in the guy who fantasized about killing his Republican opponent - and his children! - as the top law enforcement official.

You ok Lisa ? You seem unhinged.

. I am talking about people who are registered as independent which is how we group them in surveys.

There is no such thing as being registered as an independent in Ohio and many other states.

And I've been registered as democrat more often than as a republican. Registrations are completely misleading and should never be used to define anything.

You should hold a no racists rally like our No Kings rallies. See how many turn out.

We are talking about self reporting groups for surveys. If you consider yourself an independent, you are an independent. I dont know what we are arguing about. My point was independents (as they self declared) massively shifted to the democrats this election. That’s it.

I'm not arguing. I'm correcting you.

So, unlike this ^, I agree with the post you just wrote. People should self report their position in surveys NOT use registration as any indication.

Registrations are completely misleading in many states. All they do is indicate which primary you chose to vote in.

I understand and thanks for the clarification. There were a few strands that peeled off my simple statement.

Democrats are poised to maintain control of the Virginia House of Delegates and expand their slim one-seat majority, a rebuke of the Trump administration as control of state-level legislative bodies increasingly signals whether states will follow the federal government — or fight against it.
All 100 seats were up for grabs in the purple state, where President Donald Trump’s policies around mass firings of federal workers and tariff-induced price increases have become increasingly unpopular.

Trump turned a lot of blue states red last year. This year his policies have turned a lot of those states back to blue.

As of about three hours after the polls closed, Virginia House Democrats had flipped 11 seats.

Those seats were Republican seats. Clearly people who voted GOP last time voted Democratic this time.

Flipping 11 seats should concern Republicans and makes me happy af.

And I think women are still pissed off in Virginia about abortion. Abortion emerged as one of the key issues in the battle for the statehouse.

As red states hurried to enact bans and restrictions, Democrats in Virginia pushed for a constitutional amendment that would do the opposite — enshrine the right to an abortion in the state’s constitution.
But state law requires both the state House and Senate to vote on the issue twice, with one election in between, before it can appear on a ballot. In 2023, Democrats won the House and approved the measure, with no Republicans joining.

Some of the most important races this cycle became about abortion. One Democrat, Jessica Anderson, made it a top issue in her campaign. And in Prince William County, an exburb of Washington, D.C., Democrat Elizabeth Guzman ran ads against her opponent, incumbent Republican Ian Lovejoy, saying he supports an abortion ban.

Project 2025

With its Democratic majority, the chamber will likely approve the measure again next year, meaning a constitutional amendment protecting abortion access may be on the ballot next time Virginians go to the polls.

Blacks didn't vote for Sears because she was not a strong black woman. You see racist, just because somebody is black doesn't mean we must vote for them. Sears is a MAGAT and the ONLY reason you are here whining about blacks not voting for this scum is because her policies favor whites, specifically whites on the right. I don't holler about racism when it's not there, and white morons like you need to quit trying to invent racism when you deny the racism you have and the racism that dominates the Republican Party.

We didn't see you bastards calling Sears a ho, or talking about how she slept her way into things, or how she was DEI, low IQ, or unqualified, or any of the other white racist garbage you MAGATS say about black democrats. Why? Because she panders to your racist asses and her policies help you while they hurt black people. So don't even try whining about racism, you dishonest piece of garbage.

So maybe you need to talk to your Republican president, who seemed unable to endorse or support a black Republican candidate, instead of demanding that black Democrats vote for a right-wing MAGA pandering, black sellout.
