Virginia result prediction

Post by Glennfs »

At 7am I tuned into MSNBC (MSDNC IN REALITY)and they sounded very upbeat and happy.
Around 710 I tuned into Fox News and to me they sounded somewhat somber and disappointed.
Based on that it looks like the democratic party might pull off the win.

I don't know Glenn. I've been looking for a live beetle all day but I haven't found one.

Without a live beetle how am I supposed to be able to predict this election???

The MSM has been pushing this race for Youngkin for sometime, and that seems to be what's happening with the current incoming counts.

I've seen enough: Glenn Youngkin (R) defeats Terry McAuliffe (D) in the Virginia governor's race. #VAGOV

This was an obvious outcome from what I've been seeing from the media over the last month + and the myopic voting base. Sad day for VA.

Conservative whites are looking for any flimsy excuse to run to the Black and Latino parts of town for another Charlottesville and insurrection.

Put that hemp rope away.

They will stand by while the new fascist leaders exterminate that which make them uncomfortable, it is the one thing you can count on.
I sigh in your general direction.

Liberal Democrats have had their ideas and agenda crushed in Virginia. But if course they can't admit it instead say crap like this.
Face the facts this is not a racist country it is not a conservative country it is not a progressive country.

Ours is a centrist nation that sometimes leans a little to the left and other times a little to the right.

When the gop tries to go hard right they get defeated. As we have seen tonight when the democratic party tries to gi hard left they get defeated.

There is no mandate for the hard left agenda the Biden administration has been peddling just like there was no mandate for the hard right agenda trump was pushing.

But you go ahead and believe what makes you comfortable we still love you

:lol:

Any time you have to resort to this phrase, you’re only trying to convince yourself to face facts.

The reason you only made that statement about largest solid Democratic Party whatever is for the same reasons you give a free pass to the Confederate flagwavers of the insurrection and why Donald Trump called the violent neonazis of Charlottesville “very fine people.” You are one.

Glenn going back as far as Ronald Reagan whichever party holds the White House looses this race in the odd year following their Presidential election.

Terry McAuliffe broke that trend by winning in 2014 getting one term extra for Democrats. If he hadn't done that there would have been a Republican holding the seat to have lost it following Trump being elected.

So I think all this analysis I've been seeing in the news and here is glossing over the simple fact that the real deal about it is it's a matter of who's turn it happens to be. Its the Republicans turn this time around.

It doesn't take much to appeal to conservative whites. Just rail on the immigrants (non-western European immigrants) and the blacks, the feminists, and the queers. In this case it's the all-encompassing Emmanuel Goldstein of critical race theory, whatever you think that is

That's what this GOP/white-conservative/noose-knotter/what's-the-difference ran on.

This is a classic white-backlash vote.

more going on in Virginia than just political party appeal.

poverty/eviction mandering

10/4/2019
Evictions in Virginia
Scholars, lawyers and lawmakers are grappling with high eviction rates in Virginia and how to enact solutions.

A panel at Virginia Commonwealth University on Sept. 28 addressed findings by the Eviction Lab at Princeton University that five cities in Virginia ranked in the top 10 for national eviction rates, including Richmond, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk and Chesapeake.

Virginia eviction rates ranged from 11.4 percent in Richmond to 7.9 percent in Chesapeake, according to the study. The rate represents the number of evictions per 100 rental homes in an area.

Feb 14, 2020
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS4m6NOrU_U
Experts say the eviction tradition in Richmond and other Southern cities dates back generations, and has affected black communities the most.
February 17, 2021
More Rent Assistance Is Coming In Virginia, But Evictions Are Still Happening
.......Despite the moratorium, nearly 5,000 eviction judgments were issued in the state between October and December last year, according to the RVA Eviction Lab. Courts in Virginia issued more than 36,000 judgements for eviction in 2020......

Mar. 30, 2021
Evictions continue in Virginia despite federal moratorium
Evictions are continuing in Virginia despite a nationwide moratorium by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Washington Post reported Monday that evictions are still happening because of loopholes and misinformation.

Housing advocates say that more than 11,000 eviction judgments were made in the state between September and December of last year.

One of the problems is that tenants must know about the protections. They have to print out and sign a declaration that they’re unable to pay rent, and they have to bring it to the landlord.......

November 2, 2021
Evictions rise sharply in places with no pandemic protections for renters
The bad news for renters is that evictions are rising anyway because that national moratorium was protecting a lot of people. Peter Hepburn is a researcher at the Eviction Lab at Princeton University. He says throughout much of the pandemic, twice as many people have been behind on rent as normal, but eviction filings were only at about half their normal level. But then...

PETER HEPBURN: The CDC eviction moratorium ends at the end of August.

ARNOLD: And he says each month since then, nationally, eviction filings have been going up - in September, up 12%.

HEPBURN: And when we look at the first two weeks of October, they were 25% higher than two months ago.

@TulsiGabbard

McAuliffe’s loss is a victory for all Americans. Why? Because it was a resounding rejection of efforts to divide us by race, the stripping of parental rights, and arrogant, deaf leaders. This benefits us all.

She's a conservative for sure. A ridiculous plant. And she's a pro Putin cultist. Her job is to constantly attack the Democratic Party, as well as American Intelligence. I remember her tweets trashing Obama for dropping bombs, and the CIA, then praising Putin for running an airstrike over Syria. She's also an Assad apologist. Hillary knew what time it was with Tulsi. I also remember her family's anti gay videos than ran in Hawaii.

It's 2021 now, and you were saying that back in late 2012 after she tried to snag the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Daniel Inouye when he died, so that makes it 9 years now that you have been saying that.

Projection of any sort is a simulation, and simulations are subject to the control of their operators. Indeed, a planetarium can make the sky look like any date its operator can simulate. We see the same thing with popular broadcast media, who try to simulate the real political drift of the country in a manner which attracts viewers/users, and sells advertising.

I see very little reality in the Nooz and its simple analysis pushing a 1-dimensional dialectic of voters cycling back and forth, punishing parties in power because the government always kind of sucks. That's not the true dynamic of US politics. It's an entertaining sideshow, but it's not the dynamic. Witness the current massive oversimplification of the situation in Virginia, when even a cursory reading of recent history shows that it is way more complicated than any kind of simple dialectic action-reaction oscillation. There are all sorts of things going on, and currently the future belongs to the people who come up with the sexiest campaign rhetoric to produce oversimplified and somewhat overwrought explanations of these, for better or worse.

I don't watch the media's election Thing. Thank goodness for the world series, but now that's over so, click, off goes the TV.
