You chose poorly. What does your daughter have to do with that?
My youngest sister can start fires which ignite Liquid Nitrogen entirely by accident. She says Liquid Helium can't extinguish those fires and might not be able to contain them.

I do not want to know what she plays with.

My daughters think she's awesome and ask her for ideas.

To answer what you said about incest: My parents probably aren't only children. If I'm right my mom has six brothers and twelve sisters.

I have no idea why you keep shoehorning your family into literally half of your posts in frankly bizarre ways. I have no idea what this is supposed to mean or how it’s related to anything, nor do I really want to.

Fuck my reading comprehension. This is what you meant by your list.

Can you understand what he’s talking about with that?

His opponent tried to use Youngkin agreeing with Trump as a way to decredit him
Yeah, and it didn't work because Youngkin constantly dodged. The thing is, Trump is absolute poison to Moderates, so if he runs in 2024, he'll win the primary and probablyt lose the election, and definitely lose a bunch of down ballot stuff. Meanwhile, if the Republicans run a non-Trump aligned guy, they win huge.

McAuliffe won moderates by like 20 points lmao.

Youngkin won mostly because blacks don't vote in off years.
Yes, but you need to look at party ID. He won independents by 10%. Too many moderates aren't actually moderates.


If you look at the percentage that identify as liberal vs. Those that identify as Democrat, you'll see that a lot of democrats ID as moderate.

I think Youngkin mostly won the race on his own, but he definitely was using Trump's donor base to fund his campaign, based on all the texts and emails I got from the Trump people urging donations to Youngkin.

So Youngkin may not have wanted Trump's personality on or near his campaign, but he certainly wasn't above asking Trump's base for money.

Trump was quite popular in the Appalachian and rural southern areas of Virginia. He was mainly a turnoff to the DC Suburbs and Richmond regions, the DC suburbs because, well, they're dominated by the culture of the DC elites whom hated Trump, and the Richmond regions due to Virginia traditionally being a more "genteel" state and Trump rubbing those traditions the wrong way.

Rural and Appalachian turnout was way up, probably in part due to some of Trump's influence, while he kept away from making personal appearances that would draw the ire of the anti-Trump areas of Virginia. Youngkin, note, while he kept Trump somewhat distant, didn't disavow him either and refused to play to media or Democrats constant attempts to get him to talk about Trump, instead remaining focused on the issues at hand.

So Youngkin practiced strategic ambiguity when it came to Trump, which let him dodge McAuliffe's trying to paint him as a Trump fanatic, which was from what I'm hearing (no doubt oversimplified) about all McAuliffe campaigned on. Meanwhile, Youngkin attacked McAuliffe on education and the guy walked right into those attacks.

Two guys shoot, only one takes cover.

Actually, it's really not an oversimplification that McAuliffe was mainly trying to attack Youngkin as a Trump fanatic. He DESPERATELY wanted to make the race about Trump, I bet if you went and did a survey of all the speeches McAuliffe made through the campaign Trump's name would show up more than Youngkin's. He didn't run on any other issues... for some reason. And no, I'm not saying that sarcastically, it genuinely surprised me that McAuliffe didn't run any positive aspects, no goals, no nothing.

Meanwhile all the Republicans in the race had some very obvious goals and planning with a clear message. Part of me hopes that with the new Lt. Governor, as well as the very notable dissentions from the normal Dem stranglehold on the Black vote in VA, that we might be seeing the beginning of a realignment of the Black vote in Virginia. If the Rs can begin shifting the Black vote in Virginia (and, bear in mind, Virginia has a larger percent of the population that's black compared to the national average (20% as opposed to the national average of 13%, due to obvious historical reasons), it could spell electoral doomsday in the Commonwealth for the Ds, as the NoVA region would then end up counterbalanced by the Richmond to Hampton Roads corridor. Focusing on education and school choice issues may well help with that, but we'll see.

Depends on how you define a "moderate"; personally, I'd argue that anyone who'd consider Trump to be poison fails to meet the description, as that's an incredibly extreme view to hold.
