Maybe in retrospect Terry McAuliffe was not the most inspiring candidate.

Dax told me this election was rigged, what gives?

that's probably why the dem lt gov and a.g. candidates fared so much better.

[sys]

for that matter, the nj gov's race is probably going to be a worse result (compared to biden 2020) for dems.

[sys]

one bright spot.

also, lol @ schumer and gillibrand for endorsing the socialist late.

Correct.  Would be a huge win for the red team.

Correct.  Would be a huge win for the red team.

Not really, north Eastern libs love having republican governors. Happens all the time.

But it for sure is another indicator that the dems are sleep walking toward some hilariously bad mid terms and Biden might actually lose to trump.

Are you really this dumb?

I have zero pulse on north Eastern libs but agree with you.

It’s getting late.  Time for #blueanon to:   Bring out your dead!  Bring out your dead!  Bring out your dead!

What is that, like a Munsters reference or some other show that was on 60 years ago, or something?

This is ridiculous. There's only ever been two Democratic governors re-elected in New Jersey. Ever. The last time a dem gov in NJ was re-elected was 1977.

A 27 year old BLM candidate defeated a two term incumbent for the Des Moines City Council, another BLM candidate narrowly lost to another two term council member and prominent business owner.

Michelle Obama's former chief of staff won a spot on the Des Moines School Board.

There is a BLM candidate running unopposed for the Ames City Council, my district. She's facing a MAGA write in candidate who has carpeted the area with signs the last week. I'd love to tell you the BLM candidate won but over three hours after the polls have closed our county hasn't reported jack crap.

Are you really this dumb?

yeah, i think that when you have two other candidates in the same state finishing in lockstep and an election in another state showing a very similar shift, that blaming the idiosyncrasies of any one of the candidates involved is probably barking up the wrong tree.

You think if Biden had, let's say a 52% approval rating, that the right's culture war would be less effective?

Do you want to have a discussion here or not. I can't even tell what you're taking exception to. Are you contending that the right didn't have a strategy to wage a fake culture war centered around critical race theory in the 2021 election?

If you don't think that if Joe Biden had a 52% approval rating vs what he has now, that Democrats would do better, I'm not sure how you view politics.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree because I don't think voters were thinking the least bit about Joe Biden when Youngkin pounded the consistent messaging that the democrats, specifically, McAuliffe, are trying to indoctrinate their children.

I'm not talking about democrats doing better, I'm talking about the Virginia governor's election.

Progressives won almost every election I care about, in a red state, they didn't seem to care about Biden. The Republican strategy nationwide with this election was to wage a culture war centered around schools, I don't think that has a damn thing to do with Biden.

Biden's approval rate was greatly damaged by Afghanistan. If you want to tell yourself that Glen Youngkin's message would have been less effective if we still had a presence in Afghanistan, then you go ahead and keep thinking that.

for that matter, the nj gov's race is probably going to be a worse result (compared to biden 2020) for dems.

if this is roughly accurate, the va gov result will be a point or two worse for dems than the nj gov result.
