"its your fault if it doesnt" yeah my singular negative vibes are not the reason elections go one way or the other. Its actually never the voter's fault when candidates fail to make their case for keeping their job
If dems win their projected 53 in senate, there is your within-the-beltway resolution in action. If somehow suddenly NEW obstacles appear out of nowhere to continue to prevent progressive policies from passing you'll know its bc the party mostly pretends to support them

idk what it says about me that the main reason I would block a NAFO is bc their visual gimmick gives me such secondhand embarrassment that I start shaking

@davidsirota FDR style social democracy was fraught with racism, sexism, imperialism between the margins of those new deal programs. Socdems want to harken back to an era they're not able to honestly assess when you really need to define yourself as a new, modern, fully inclusive entity.
Im hoping Virginia Beach schools will take a similar stance as Richmond schools did on Youngkin's trans harassment agenda but its still pretty dumb here. Norfolk has enough braincells for it tho
