Yes! Mayor Max is in fact the mayor of the tiny town of Idyllwild. Constitutionally, humans aren't allowed to run for mayor in Idyllwild, they're only allowed to run their pets. It's mostly a ceremonial role, though, and not surprisingly most of the actual work is done by the human chief of staff, but still.

Hell, I know a fair number of people indirectly who commute from Richmond just for the combo lower cost of living and higher quality of life. Most of them have an irregular work schedule and some number of work-from-home days, though.

thats like a 4 hour drive if im remembering my geography right, gently caress that lol

nah not without some kind of aggravating element, like involving a minor or forcing someone into prostitution

Separating that it shouldn't be a crime in the first place, how is prostitution not a sex crime, it's literally a crime involving sex

In Virginia, 3rd trimester abortions can only happen when 3 separate doctors say that they're medically necessary. A Democratic bill wanted to reduce that down to only 1 doctor saying it's medically necessary. The same bill was up in 2018, but 2019 is an election year and the RPV needs something to run on.

ah good, such a nice compromise, only one doctor to gatekeep a women doing what she wants with her body

I don't get who is giving Northam advice. Apparently he's not going to pack it in at the 2:30 press conference?!?!?


I mean, this is a third trimester abortion, performed by a medical doctor. If you need one, finding a doctor to sign off on the medical necessity of the procedure is probably no harder than finding a doctor to perform the procedure (which is fairly tough in non-blue states).

its just frustrating that people would celebrate something still blatantly misogynist is all

I think they were just being glib about the seemingly nonending number of VA politicians who have worn black face, not saying dont vote. This is a bit unfair.

to be honest i am a bit more then peeved at my home state about it, but yeah i don't think not voting is the correct option. I'm sure there are plenty of candidates who have not done blackface or something equally regrettable, they just need to be supported.

I do wish there was some way to force Northam out but even then his replacements have also done blackface or (allegedly) are rapists. Hopefully that was cleared up as a lie or something but last i heard prospects weren't good

God that is so infuriating to hear about fairfax. What's the line of succession where Lee Carter gets to be governor, since apparently everyone in the top spots is a loving chode

also because there was no clear better person to take over and if all 3 resigned the GOP would get control of the state despite losing the governor's election by 9 points.

had that coin flipped the other way back in December of 2017 things might've been different though as the House speaker wouldn't have been a Republican.

Boo loving hoo, the Democrats shouldn't support a rapist and two people who did literal blackface

Yea its not like VA hasn't been a massive success story the last few years or anything especially compared to most other states in this Union.

Also people are not moving away from VA gently caress off with that.

Seriously every non-VA goon barging in here to act shocked how VA does things (and it is stupid yes) should do some research on their own states. You will probably be equally horrified. But this is what progressive groups have to deal with on a day to day basis. Sorry this poo poo isn't easy and that change takes work.
I literally moved away from va bc of how lovely it is and remains but sure, go off

That’s nice you had the privilege to move out but do realize a lot of us do not have that option and have worked very hard to improve VA and heck the neighboring states too.

I’m sorry you feel VA sucks, but it’s also lovely to move out and then come into a thread full of people trying to make a state less bad and just causally tell them it sucks. Like ok thanks? What do you think we’re trying to do? We’re not running away. We’re here to fix poo poo.

Im not ragging on you fwiw, im ragging on the legislators who decided petty personal beefs were more important then voting for a bill that would have helped people.

If you seriously think there is a chance that Democrats intentionally lost a governors race because they actually hate doing things, you should log off this website and Twitter immediately and not talk about politics online for a year. I am serious. You are so deep down a rabbit hole you cannot think straight.

I dont think anyone is seriously saying that, just that mccauliffes campaign was so insipid that it *seems* intentionally designed to lose.
