LOL, I'm not voting for anybody who worked for DHS. That said, I'm really pleased at the lack of spooks in this election. Usually I'm getting dozens of mailers from former CIA agents and Army intelligence officers in any given VA election season.

I went with Carter since McAuliffe is going to win anyway. I want him out there yelling at people.

Well, at least I only wasted about 10 minutes.

He also just appeals to a bunch of the blackpilled/FTV folks who think posting is actual organizing.

Why is everyone so fascinated with Lee Carter?

My impression, as a random VA voter, is that the Dems are leaning very heavily on their most ardent (old, white, upper-middle-class) constituents and their campaign is based entirely on making you scared of Youngkin instead of wanting to vote for McAuliffe. McAuliffe has experience, but the rest of the candidates are nonentities and they are all repeating the most bland boilerplate imaginable with no actual campaign promises. Again, maybe do something besides scare people? The best thing I can say about this slate of candidates is that I only have to withhold my vote from one of them for being a spook. The best thing that's actually happened in my life, vis a vis VA politics, was finally spam-filtering all the email lists the local Democrats put me on so that candidates in other states could message me with subjeect lines like "Feeling small and scared rn" and beg for money. Anyway, I don't believe that Terry McAuliffe is entitled to my vote just for running. But I am promising to ensure that every Democratic candidate has access to my vote, which is just as good.

I wish that the Democratic Party was a machine, with a spoils system and everything. Then working-class people might at least get a few jobs out of it. Who was Harriet Christian, anyway?

I got some of those mailers from Youngkin emphasizing that he had Trump's endorsement, and the McAuliffe mailers emphasizing that Youngkin had Trump's endorsement. It was surreal. McAuliffe ran on nothing but fear of Trump and failed.

VitalSigns posted:So these were real mailers? Youngkin's own mailers crowed about his endorsement from Trump, but they also went after McAuliffe for his comments about schools.

The great thing about those mythical moderate Republicans is that they don't have any interests that conflict with those of the donor class.
