Yeah, I'm gonna up my contribution to him a bit past coffee money for the next couple of weeks, and Danica too while I'm about it. They're great.

Checking in from deepest blue nova, enjoyed fulling in my boxes for three unopposed candidates. Fingers crossed for the rest of the state, godspeed.

yronic heroism posted:The flip side of this is a lot of “leftists” on the contemporary scene is will embrace Ayn Rand the moment they move up a tax bracket. I think that’s part of it but what it really comes down to is some non-trivial or at least vocal number of people will chase whatever the new hotness on the Internet. D&D over the years has been a microcosm of this. I have no idea wtf this post is, here in a happy thread. I’m at a party with my state rep who is pulling predictions out of his rear end, and it owns.

Kinda mad at Hala for taking the dominion dollar when she said she wouldn't, so I'm looking pretty closely at Sam Rasoul.

It's never been assured, but the polling has been a lot closer than 3 years ago. Anyway, I'm told early voting in Alexandria was very busy, and I just got back from voting myself. It was busy, and this with some pretty foul weather this afternoon.

Grouchio posted:And before any of you get wild ideas on why McAuliffe lost, just remember: That's like the same point repeated 6 time! T-Mac's campaign was really bad. He concentrated on an anti-trump message, he made unforced errors that gifted soundbites to the Rs, and did not co-ordinate well with local orgs. They spent too much time looking for Biden-voting Rs that were not really there. I'm exceedingly bummed that that bad campaign has likely lost us the other statewide posts too. I'm not sure where you get "Schools were closed longest" - they shut down at about the same time as everyone else in '20, there were generally hybrid in-person options since the start of this (calendar) year, and they've been in-person since the start of the school year. Which is not to say that the covid hangover is not real; behaviour is bad and students are a bit feral; they've forgotten or didn't get a chance to learn a lot of the norms around how to be in school, and it's been a rough time for parents. McAuliffe certainly didn't focus on how he as governor would address those things, but I don't think Virginia's schools had a particularly bad response. It wasn't a huge failure, given, you know, the ongoing global pandemic. Not sure about the terminally online guy point, either. You can't stop people running, and his presence in the race didn't make any difference to the final outcome.
