McAuliffe did a good job as governor before and the Democrats have run the state well the past few years. We're one of the best states in the nation.
The Democrats are terrible at campaigning and letting the media and the right drive the narrative. CRT?You mean they're gonna ban the thing that's not taught in schools and most of the R's in the state can't even explain? If D's had simply touted all the policy wins they've had the past few years, they would have been sitting pretty today. McAuliffe handed the election in the second debate.
Hopefully Youngkin is a "moderate" as some extremists claim and governs for all Virginians, but we all saw how that panned out after 2016.![]()
Honestly the best thing Republicans could do is absolutely nothing. Ride the coattails of the Democrats successes and coast to another win the next go-around. If they start pushing hard Republican and anti-American policies and drag Virginia down with them, they're gonna get kicked to the curb.
As far as voting rights, nearly all Virginians (R or D) weren't allowed to vote in the Republican primary. Youngkin was picked by the party, not voters.
Insanely undemocratic.
Not trying to embarrass you, but seriously, how are so many educated lacrosse fans so unaware of facts? Media? I’m ever-amazed at the obtuse nature of so many Democrats….if you ever wonder why this country elects jokes like McAuliffe, look no further than Natty opining on a topic he literally has no clue about:
McAuliffe himself was the first Virginia governor to promote CRT. In 2015, then-Governor McAuliffe's Department of Education instructed Virginia public schools to "embrace critical race theory" in order to "re-engineer attitudes and belief systems." They explicitly endorsed CRT.
Under the Northam administration, Superintendent of Public Instruction James Lane sent a memo to Virginia public schools endorsing "Foundations of Critical Race Theory in Education," calling it an "important analytic tool" that can "further spur developments in education."
Right now, on its website, the Virginia Department of Education recommends "Critical Race Theory in Education" as a "best practice" and derives its definitions of "racism," "white supremacy," and "education equity" explicitly from "critical race theory."
At the district level, Loudoun County Schools hired a consulting firm to implement "critical race theory" and developed a high school class explicitly teaching "critical race theory." Even the district superintendent admitted the curricula "align with the ideology of CRT."
McAuliffe is playing a linguistic shell game to obfuscate about critical race theory. But the reality is that Virginia Department of Education promotes all of the *concepts* of critical race theory: "systemic racism," "white supremacy," "white privilege," "white fragility," etc.
You can see the official public documents I’m referencing here:

Let’s not even get into how many wealthy Virginians have fled that state the last few years.
