From the Washington Post opinion columnist:
Opinion: Democrats let Biden down. McAuliffe — and democracy — paid the price.
By Dana Milbank
ColumnistYesterday at 12:47 a.m. EDT
Democrats: Wake up!
And for those who consider themselves lower-d democrats: This is your wake-up call, too.
Democrats in Congress had months to prove that they could legislate, to demonstrate that a government of the people, by the people and for the people could still function despite the creeping authoritarianism, the daily assaults on truth and the conspiracy-minded paranoia.
They let President Biden down. They let the country down. And on Tuesday night, Terry McAuliffe paid the price.
Virginia voters decided not to return him for a second nonconsecutive term as governor, instead electing Republican businessman Glenn Youngkin, who ran a Trump-inspired campaign of disinformation, conspiracy theories and race-baiting. It wasn’t terribly close. Republicans were leading the the lieutenant governor and attorney general races, too, and were within sight of a majority in the House of Delegates.
There’s no sugarcoating this loss for Democrats in a state Biden won by 10 percentage points a year ago.
… The Manchins and the Sinemas and the Jayapals, by making the perfect the enemy of the (very) good, have handed an advantage to an illiberal faction that is stoking White nationalism….
Youngkin’s victory confirms a depressing reality: Trumpism succeeds as a tactic even in the absence of Trump. Though Youngkin nominally distanced himself from Trump (he didn’t mention Trump often or attend events where Trump spoke on his behalf), he ran a classic MAGA campaign, raising racial fear and animus among White voters by scaring them about crime and the phantom menace of critical race theory.
“Critical race theory” is an extremely polite euphemism used by Republicans unwilling to denounce it for what it is: anti-white racist hate.
Actually, Democratic turnout was exceptionally high — but it was even higher on the Republican side.
In other words, this election was a triumph of participatory democracy.
… Democrats, you are running out of time to save democracy.
Oh, but I forgot, what the word “democracy” actually means in the Washington Post is: When the Democrats win.

Yeah, and all that bitterness for a guy who’s not a whole lot less of a lefty destroyer anyway. You really gotta wonder if they know this, but are just writing this crap to make Conservatives feel complacent.
That is a really good and obvious line (OK, NOW it is!), Steve. However, it goes back to the roots of the party names I guess. The Republicans may have believed more in the original idea of a Constitutional Republic over the years. (That would not include one of the founding members, the anything-but-Constitutional Abe Lincoln.)
Since the middle 1990’s after the Contract with America was put in the shredder, they’ve been just 2 squads of the same party, squabbling over little details.
I’m pleased Youngkin won but he’s still a uniparty shill, opposing Confederate monuments.
That he had been offered command of the Union forces is something Lee never told Jefferson Davis. Had that offer been accepted the Civil War would have been over in short order. Anyway, Robert E. Lee opposed Confederate monuments.Replies: @Sick of Orcs, @Anonymous
And of course, he's strongly committed to promoting toxic semitism.
How long until WaPo has an editorial titled “Only True Human Beings Should Be Able To Vote”?

This "Dana Milbank" is one of the elite class that not long ago run the ideology and propaganda departments of communist parties of communist-socialist states of Central and East Europe.
The only "right to vote" in those former communist states was the right to vote the right way.
There was only one party to choose to vote for, to ensure that in each election the common people could vote only the right way.
Dana Milbank is a Jew and thus he is a member of "the spiritual and intellectual elite of our planet".
It is his right and prerogative to tell you what you are allowed to think and what you have to do.
It is his right and prerogative to, first, argue for, and then, to try to enforce the agenda of social and cultural "progress". This naturally inv0lves the elimination of competing ideologies and parties and their supporters.
When the push comes to shove, and when those who are chosen to lead mankind have the machinery of state fully in their hands, then the elimination becomes physical.
There are examples from history to illustrate the point.
Well, at least it’s an honest and heartfelt take from Milbank. Whenever you see someone on the left screeching about protecting “our democracy” they mean the only legitimate outcome is Democratic control.
Just watched a clip from CNN where Dana Milbank was discussing the win and although her analysis for Youngkin’s win appeared pretty accurate, her stone-faced expression was revealing, if not surprising.
Could Dana Milbank even analyze a glucometer reading? You don't have to answer that, but I'd say she's just a professional stone-face out of many that the TV newz keeps hanging in its prop closets.Some "Hidden Figure" did the real analysis.
The argument for Biden's election was a return to normalcy by way of an end to COVID-19 and a tamping down of the racial strife in the person of a supposed long-term moderate. He wasn't expected or elected to do much other than turn the clock back to simpler times.
But they can't hide Biden so well anymore, and it seems to many that the government now in the hands of the left wants to make COVID-19 abnormality a permanent feature of American life, while Americans continue to be bombarded as white supremacists from every institution both governmental and private for holding conventional attitudes and opinions. The President is an evident invalid no longer in control of his formerly modest mental faculties, and the executive branch is run by a cabal of puppeteers none of whom Americans would vote for if they stood for election.
The bait-and-switch has been exposed, the left can now foresee a series of electoral wipeouts on the near horizon, and the coming losses have them shaking for what it portends. These reactions are the outward expression of real fear - they're constitutionally incapable of introspection and self-criticism, so the only way that they can process being rejected by the American people is by processing facts within a limited worldview of racism and GOP skullduggery.

This it true. The South seceded because the Republicans wanted to significantly expand government, and the South didn’t want to pay for it (the South was paying for the federal government). See: Morrill Tariff.

Ts, ts, ts…. WaPo is not paying attention to the wisdom of “Tropic Thunder”..
If you think tearing down the monuments has anything to do with the Civil War, you’re a fool.
It’s about hated of current whites and the destruction of our past so that we won’t have a future for our people.
Also, I would have to say the people who are intent on tearing down monuments and desecrating graves are the ones who can't seem to "move on".
"The Holycost was more than 75 years ago -- in another country, halfway around the world. Not at all relevant to modern Americans in the current year. We're stepping over that -- it's time to heal and move on."
Just that simple statement, without any encitement to mass vandalism attacks on Holycost museums (like the tribally-promoted attacks on White statues) would result in a whole lot of semitic shrieking.
The non-crazy would do well to analyze the Virginia voters who voted Biden one year ago and Youngkin yesterday. The moral of the story tends to be in the margins and differentials. I predict that those people will be heavily white or adjacent suburban soccer moms and white women public school teachers.
Has black turnout been analyzed yet? Boys in girls bathrooms is not exactly an issue they enthusiastically support.

‘her’…? Could you be confusing Dana Bash, a female on CNN, with Dana Milbank, a male WP columnist? Or did Milbank go tranny without me hearing about it?
This election is a good example of the dictum that all politics are local.
I bet if he was a Virginia resident Joe Manchin would have voted for Youngkin or left his ballot blank. While I don’t like or respect the guy, it is easy to see why he gets so frustrated with the elite left. They don’t even pretend to listen to him. He isn’t trying for a perfect bill or even a very good one. Bezos should really raise the standard for having a column at the Washington Post. Any one of their nutty subscribers could do at least as well as this.
An excellent argument for not wanting to win elections.
Yes, the Inner Party is really, really mean to the Outer Party. It’s unjust! Better go vote for the Outer Party then.
Absolutely

Exactly Scarlett– just ignore the monument, go in the court house, get your business done and go on about the rest of your business.
voted Biden one year ago and Youngkin yesterday
That may not be a big number of voters. Turnout in 2020 was over 4.3 million, about 3.3 million yesterday last I saw. Trump (1.96 mil) outpolled Youngkin by several hundred thou.
Critical Race Theory doesn’t exist just like voter fraud doesn’t exist.
So lesson here for the normie Cons is, see you can win, all you have to do is vote harder.
The lesson here for the Demo filth is see, you can lose, all you have to do is print harder.
Remember, when the Washington Post says “Democracy Dies in Darkness“, it’s not a warning, it’s their goal.
According to the exit poll the Washington Post has posted. “How much say should parents have in what their child’s school teaches?” The most common answer was “A lot” with 51% of voters. Those voters broke for Youngkin 76-23%. Education was listed second among issues voters were concerned about and those who chose it broke for Youngkin 55-44% that has to be unprecedented.

This is exactly what's going on, and it should be crystal clear to all patriotic Americans --- but it's not because way too many Americans are thoughtless and apathetic.
The Civil War is over, but the impulse to honor our ancestors is not. Neither is the impulse to dishonor them. The people who cleared the land, made it productive, dotted it with cities chock-a-block with commerce and industry, and composed and constructed its governing institutions merit remembrance. Especially when they watered that land with their blood. The current ruling class is not fit to shine Gen. Lee’s shoes.
No doubt true in terms of character. But still, quite the hissy fit from you -- Roddy McDowall's pet photographer.
FIFY.
I'm not a Southern boy, but to borrow a phrase from another commenter (on a much earlier post): "Robert E. Lee sh*t better men than our ruling class". In fact all those Confederate generals did.
“Shine Gen. Lee’s shoes”
How old are you? 100? What the hell.
OT,
Yet again more Plaques for Blacks in Frankistan.
Written on behalf of a regime that imposed vaccine mandates (creeping authoritarianism), ignores the waning efficacy of vaccines, the reality of natural immunity, and the blatant corruption of the President’s son and his influencing peddling racket (assault on truth) and insinuates that a large fraction of the citizenry are “terrorists” (conspiracy-minded paranoia).

The Democrats ran a non-campaign in 2020, keeping Biden and his running mate away from the public while having their flying monkeys in the Press attack Trump by politicizing COVID-19 while Trump was simultaneously being sabotaged from within the executive branch by the likes of Fauci and Birx. Somehow, the Press managed to transmute a series of nationwide violent riots ostensibly about police killing black men into riots against the President with the implicit and later explicit threat that they’d continue burning American cities until Trump was removed from office.
The argument for Biden’s election was a return to normalcy by way of an end to COVID-19 and a tamping down of the racial strife in the person of a supposed long-term moderate. He wasn’t expected or elected to do much other than turn the clock back to simpler times.

The mistake normieCons make when they read/hear the likes of Milbank is that they are included in “our”.
Milbank is under no illusion that “them” is “us”.
I just copy-pasted that so I could Agree. [Edit: But I used ’em up. Agree!]
Steve,
Chances are the transsexual Rapist of Loudoun county wasn’t white. Only 42% of the kids in the county system are white. 25% asian, 20% Hispanic 7% black. Couple that with the boy being 14 at the time of the rape, you’ve got a highly probable racial intersection. The girl’s dad for reasons unknown denied he was a racist on the Laura Ingraham show. Why did he say anything about race? Big tell about what occurred. Juvenile legal system strikes again. Explains how easily and shamelessly the boy was transferred to another skoo to predate again.

No matter what any pundit claims, this and similar incidents across Virginia, along with CRT indoctrination were the #1 through #4 issues for parents. The state went for Hillary 20 points and Biden for over 10. It took this fire to get a 51-49 reversal, and I doubt it'll keep.
… a government of half the people, by half the people and for half the people…
There. Fixed it for you, Dana.
It’s tempting to expect there’s a racial intersection with the Transsexual Rapist in Loudoun. Entire case screams that it was a POC.
Reminds me of Brexit.
The British Deep State/political establishment spent a good five years straining every effort to repudiate and renege upon a ‘democratic’ vote which the same establishment solemnly promised to honor.
An act of blatant perfidy scarcely seen the likes of in UK political history.
Very odd numbers:
McAwful won 1,610,000 votes, and Biden won 2,413,000 votes in Virginia less than a year ago. Youngkin won 1,677,00 votes, and Trump won 1,962,000 votes in Virginia less than a year ago.
Hillary Clinton won 1,981,000 votes in 2016, and won Virginia in that year.
Obama won 1,971,000 votes in 2012, and 1,959,000 in 2008. Trump came within 10,000 votes of Obama’s total in 2020, yet still lost to Biden by around 440,000 votes.
Let me repeat that:
Obama, 1,959,000 and 1,971,000
Clinton 1,971,000
Biden 2,413,000
If you really think chucklehead Biden won more than 450,000 votes than Clinton or Obama, in fact more votes than in the history of any Virginia presidential election, you’ve got to be kidding yourself. It’s quite clear that Biden cheated in Virginia.
Now, Youngkin polled 300,000 votes fewer than Trump did. This could be the usual lower midterm turnout effect. But McAwful polled 800,000 fewer votes than Biden did. That’s massive.
But in 2013, McAwful won 1,069,000 votes. He actually increased his vote total in 2021 by around 540,000 votes compared to the last time he ran for office.
Population of Virginia in 2010 census, 7,952,000. Population of Virginia in 2020 census, 8,631,000.
That’s an increase of 680,000 citizens, including those too young to vote. Yeah, McAwful could have increased his votes between 2013 (1,069,000) and 2021 (1,610,000) if darned near every one of Virginia’s new voters voted for McAwful.
Frankly, it looks like not only Biden cheated big in Virginia, McAwful cheated big in 2021 and still lost.

• \$430M property tax. YES 52:48
I was wrong about the outcome.
Does anyone know if vote harvesting is still illegal in Virginia? Here in Sunny Cal it has been legalized and Democratic campaign workers would have been able to deliver to the polling stations as many boxes of ballots as they needed.
This guy may have gone to Yale and I didn’t, and he may be a Washington Post columnist and I’m not, but I feel pretty confident in saying this guy is just dumb, dumb, dumb.
Like Steve, I did high school debate, both policy and Lincoln Douglas, and one of the skills debaters are either born with or acquire through reflection and practice is that before you issue your riposte to your opponent, you think through potential counter-arguments to your point, and either modify your point accordingly or issue qualifications to your position so as to pre-empt the impact of your opponents counter argument.
This guy: “There’s like, creeping authoritarianism because of Republicans.” Presumably he means how the Republicans who dominate Big Tech and the media are censoring everyone on the internet and on college campuses, and rounding up people who attend leftist protests? My God, on what planet has this guy been living?
And then there’s the “Muh Democracy” bit: Democrats losing in an election is lethal to democracy. So presumably he wants no more elections so democracy will no longer be at risk.
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
That’s big reason to leave the statues alone: Get over it and move on.
It’s important to note that the GOP won this race entirely because of those dread “social” issues that Dems mock and even some Republicans say we should soft peddle. They won because it was the only meaningful way to counter the Critical Race Garbage as well as Covid tyranny shoved down everyone’s throat.
I don’t think it was won because Virginia voters flocked to a GOP investment banker. But as always, look for the GOP to misinterpret the results.
If there’s a Pultizer Prize for the most hot air in a single column, this would be the winner running away.
Who, exactly, are these “creeping authoritarians” in a country controlled entirely by Democrats?
And if we’re still believing the nonsense about the “government of the people, by the people, and for the people,” why won’t the Biden Administation provide honest answers about how many illegals are crossing our borders and how many it is allowing to stay?
This is perilously close to “Dear Leader” territory.
Correction: it *is* in “Dear Leader” territory.
McAuliffe didn’t run a terrible campaign – he was let down!
Conspiracy theories? Name one conspiracy theory Youngkin campaigned on.
Race baiting? The party that’s lecturing us about white privilege, inciting BLM rioters, establishing race quotas, and pushing Ibram Kendi on everyone is upset that voters are mad about it. Just before assuming his position as Dear Leader, Biden literally was in a video stating that he would give aid only to small businesses that weren’t owned by white men. It’s not some video caught surreptitiously in a meeting or casual conversation. It’s a video he literally posted to his own Twitter page.
“Critical Race Theory” is probably not exactly what’s being taught in public schools – which is why it will take a lot more than simply “banning Critical Race Theory” to fix what’s wrong in the schools – but it is a great, catchy term to describe the white hatred that is being taught. And it’s about a billion times more accurate than Democrats who claimed that Trump “put kids in cages.”
Democrats literally refused to vote on a massive infrastructure bill that literally has bipartisan support, until they got the \$3.5 trillion queen of all welfare bills through. That ain’t on Manchin or Sinema, who wanted to vote on the infrastructure bill first. The infrastructure bill was all done and ready to go. The failure to pass it is all on Pelosi amd Schumer and the rest of the Far Left.
And according to Milbank, “Criticial Race Theory” is a conspiracy theory term, but it’s perfectly OK for Milbank to denigrate as “white nationalists” people who are simply tired of open borders and anti-white race quotas; the 99.9% of Republicans who have never visited a white nationalist website or meeting, and who had never even heard the term “white nationalist” until people like Milbank started referring to them as that.
Oh, gotcha. Five of the six most powerful members of Biden’s cabinet are Jewish. The sixth one is black. Under Obama, the Supreme Court almost became 44% Jewish.

Steve, thanks for linking to the crazed Dana Millbank.
Because he in fact articulates what infects the minds of party Democrats like some fever they simply cannot break.
Trump.
Everything and anything is about Trump. Trump this, Trump that, Trump here, Trump there, Trump everywhere. “Living rent free in the head” has morphed into a cliche, but, oh boy, it totally applies with Dana and the hardcore left.
Trump is the demon under the bed, their never ending nightmare. Oh…my….God….if he runs again, the exploding heads will be astonishing to behold. He oughta do it just for the enormous entertainment value, since the country is going down the tubes anyway.
Might as well have a spectacle!!!
Meanwhile, I bet McAuliffe, being a totally cynical Clintonian, probably thought, “Hey, tarnishing Youngkin with the Trump label is a winning strategy!!!” though any sensible person could see Youngkin is about as MAGA as Liz Cheyney.
And of course, it totally backfired as Youngkin turned out to be the MORE ruthless political operative –the irony is delicious — and, Bill Belichick like, saw the opponent’s wokeish weakness and sent in the laser guided missiles.
“Democracy” means nothing to Dana Milbank. Neither does honesty or hypocrisy.
The only thing that matters is supporting the goals of his tribe against any other tribe that has the potential to threaten them.

This is the simple thought process of the noisy and insane left. They do the same thing with “justice.” In their mind, justice isn’t a process, it’s an end result. A white cop shoots a belligerent and violent yet unarmed black so “justice” must be served, i.e., the white cop must go to prison. This reduces any investigation, grand jury decision or trial to a mere formality. Even Harvard law professor Elizabeth Warren called Michael Brown’s death “murder” during her presidential campaign. This was long after the grand jury decided not to indict, and it didn’t natter that Eric Holder’s DOJ said everything was legal and as it should be. What constitutes murder is determine by Pocahontas’ opinion, not a grand jury or the legal process. So it shouldn’t be surprising that, in the eyes of the left, elections are mere formalities, too.
It won’t be long before the GOP will be negotiating some kind of “three fifths of a man” compromise for whites.
The current ruling class is not fit to lick the s**t off Gen. Lee’s boots.

Yes, but Chris Rufo’s genius was to realize you need a euphemism to fight a euphemism in current-year America. If he called it “anti-white racist hate”, a lot of normies would have tuned him out.

As I've commented before, the reason this worked is likely because the kids' parents have had to go through racial humiliation rituals in prior education and as a condition of employment, so the denials have no credibility. The parents likely figure that it's something that they have to put up with for the sake of their families, but that their kids shouldn't have to deal with while they're captives of adult strangers.

Democrats had a chance “to demonstrate that a government of the people, by the people and for the people could still function despite the creeping authoritarianism, the daily assaults on truth and the conspiracy-minded paranoia.”
The only problem with this analysis is that it is the Democratic Party, not the Republican, who are guilty of authoritarianism (against free speech),, daily assaults on the truth (the Charlottesville hoax), and conspiracy-minded paranoia (January 6, Russian collusion). Meanwhile the Republicans are trying to get a handle on mass-low-skilled immigration and the offshoring of labor-intensive manufacturing to low-wage countries overseas, which are undermining the living standards of working-class Americans.
It is a simple case of projection.
Have to say it cheers me up just a little bit to see a Bonesman writing an argument my 10 year old would shred. I’m sure people like this will be a big deal in the Metaverse or whatever, but they really aren’t intelligent enough to hold power in the real world, when shit stops working.
If you aren’t an accelerationist by the current year there’s no hope for you. I have always rejected the claim that there is no inner party (possibly because I can’t face the implication that I am getting owned by these oxygen thieves), but the giant leap for unconditional acceleration that is the response the COVID19 makes me reconsider. Seems there are two options:
1. Our rulers do not believe that their power is dependant on the continued viability of their institutional skin suits and feel secure enough to dispense with quaint illusions about how this country is governed (hubris has breeds nemesis).
2. The COVID19 response is being used to explain and to an extent conceal the ongoing collapse in living conditions in the US, which the USG is powerless to do anything about and so must seek out wreckers and witches to blame.
Yeah lets honor “our ancestors”, the very people who ruined our country because they just had to have slaves. Not my ancestors. What are we, Chinese? These ancestors don’t deserve veneration. Move on and get a life.

Trumpism means the actions of Donald Trump. The man is not capable of defining a political philosophy, or even a set of tactics. Nobody except Trump can possibly do Trumpism.
Yep. It isn’t enough for them to win half the time, or even most of the time. To be a democracy, the Democrats must win every time.
When I wrote in my comment above that “Republicans are trying to get a handle on mass-low-skilled immigration and the offshoring of labor-intensive manufacturing to low-wage countries overseas” I should have written “reform Republicans,” which of course would be a euphemism for MAGA Republicans (aka Trump Republicans). Euphemisms are good.

” her analysis”… She’s a man, baby!
Democrats did not let McAuliffe down, he screwed up!
He was on his way to an easy win, and somehow managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
How?
He didn’t listen to the voters.
He didn’t listen when a man’s daughter was raped by a boy wearing a skirt in the girls bathroom
He didn’t listen when her father complained at the school board meeting, and was arrested.
He didn’t listen when parents complained about CRT being taught in schools.
Who did he listen to?
He listened to the school board when they denied the rape happened.
He listened to the school board that denied CRT was being taught.
He listened to the Washington Post when they said parents had no say in their childrens education.
He listened to Obama who said the fuss over the rape was fake outrage.
He listened to the FBI and white house when they called parents who complained at school board meetings Domestic Terrorists.
McAuliffe could have turned the race around and won if he had simply appologized, acknowledged the rape, the father’s pain, and parents legitimate concerns. He didn’t. He couldn’t. So now the Washington Post blames the voters.
Interesting that the election was so narrowly-decided, given that McAuliffe was very pro-jab-mandate and that he called Youngkin an ‘anti-vaxxer’.
These sorts of near-things are what happens when women are allowed to vote; the average housewife is roughly as stupid as the average black. So the most powerful political office in the world is held by a frail old man who shits his pants, and a candidate who states quite unambiguously that he’ll further erode civil liberties is only narrowly defeated by someone less odious on a key issue for our time.
Virginia escaped the clutches of Karenocracy by the skin of its teeth.

That poor man whose daughter was raped and who was arrested at the Loudoun school board meeting must have at least some sense of consolation after last night’s election.

No, they have to limit postal ballots to people in select occupational categories and domestic situations who will have set up a standing order for such ballots, renewable quadrennially. No more than 10% of the electorate have an abiding situation which would prevent them from voting in person, fewer in the eastern United States. Establish one precinct for every 1,000 residents and have the polls open for 15 hours on the Friday and Saturday after All Saints’ Day, and people will have ample opportunity to vote in person.

Nothing will change, this dude is just a Swamp Rat with different colors.
Fascinating, though, how the corporate media finds a smear label for the latest batch of righties and throws it on anyone they can call a right winger, and how this trick is as old as time and still works. .
For example, I watched the first season of sexual predator Kevin Spacey’s old HBO series House of Cards (a remake of the British version). Spacey is a Dem Congressman whip who was spurned by the new President for a job and thus has decided to declare a secretive war on the man to bring him to ruin. In the first season he works to secure a big national political victory to get his name in the headlines so he can leverage that and some blackmail and double dealing into the vice presidential slot (don’t ask, its extremely complicated and soapy).
So Spacey is wheeling and dealing with fellow D’s and R’s to get a big deal on an education bill, and keeps using the effective insult “Tea Party” against R’s who don’t oppose him. At one point, he even mockingly tells a recalcitrant R, “That’s sounds just like a Tea Partier.”
The show debuted in 2013, right after the the “rise” of the Tea Party from 2010-2012 and during its neutering by the Deep State R’s who coopted and drove into irrelevance. So Spacey was in real time displaying how quickly the Deep State will smear a righty group and then paste the label on everyone perceived against the Marxist party.
Everything old is new again. Calling this guy a Trump guy is laughable, but effective with those hypnotized by their TVs.
I oppose all forms of voting, but especially the convenience sort.
None of this 10% baloney: Show up in-person, or else spectate. We also need to reinstate the poll tax. A presidential ballot should cost \$800 [sic]. (Based on how much the big government parties are willing spend on advertising, and how much pork they dispense beginning in January, they have no standing to object to such a tax.)
Voters per precinct is probably regulated at the state level, but I would limit the number to ~50. Voter ID is not an issue when the front desk clerk knows every voter by name. “Hi, Betty! Your cousin was here at 2:00.” Poll taxes can be used to pay for the cost of additional precincts (though I strongly prefer that the money gets redistributed to non-registereds).
I can’t stand early voting. There’s no question that some early voters die before Election Day. That’s voting from the grave. Why not allow registereds to proxy ahead 50 years. If I croak before 2071, then cast my ballot for DEMs and schools, straight down the line.
In Buffalo the mayor, a black man, defeated a black woman to maintain his office. Both are democrats. The woman won the dem primary and the mayor won by running as a write in candidate. The endorsed candidate received in person support from AOC and endorsements from senators bernie sanders, chuck schumer and kirsten gillibrand. My take, even heavily democrat areas like Buffalo are tired of the political class. Saw this just a few years ago.
This is interesting:
Biden labels report government to pay separated immigrants \$450,000 ‘garbage’
He could be lying, of course.
But if it is true, why the hell did Biden wait until after yesterday’s elections to disavow it? The Wall Street Journal first reported on it five full days before the election. How mad do you think Terry McAuliffe is over this?
Or maybe, for some ridiculous reason, the Biden Admin thought that reminding people of “kids in cages” would actually help them win – like a dog whistle to Hispanics and suburban moms.
Dana Milbank’s family are carney folk going back generations.

Milbank knows the reason McAwful lost, but can’t say it.
Tbe Democrat party’s coalition of the fringes includes one of the most extreme fringes — the teachers unions. The unions support teaching their students anti-white racism and gender confusion.
So when a boy wearing a dress goes into a girl’s school restroom and rapes a girl, the principal of that school covers up the crime, moves the boy to another school where he commits another rape, McAwful publicly and repeatedly says that parents should butt out and let the education professionals manage the situation.
That’s why McAwful lost. Because the Democrat party has become the party of teacher’s unions, race hustlers, perverts and vote fraud.

Sociology was imported from France in 1854 to defend racial diversity. The racial diversity of the plantation states.
God, who placed the African in Africa. As opposed to man, who thought he was smarter than God, and transported him here. Rather ungodly of him.
Inviting Africans to North America is like leading livestock into the kitchen. Not a sign of civilized values.
Men such as Mr Hampton are still sore that their beloved Sambo and Jemima were taken away. By people who listened to the perfidious Brits. Who got a little persnickety about what they called the Yanks sneaking into Upper Canada and the Maritimes to retrieve them.
By the way, the US and Haiti are not, as often claimed, the only countries to have eliminated slavery by violent means. The British did so by legislation in 1807 and 1834.
Which, also by the way, is why there are so many Indians in the Caribbean lands.
The street that leads to the airport in Philly is named Lindbergh Blvd. (before they built a more modern expressway, it was the main access route). I’m surprised it hasn’t been cancelled. Yet.
However, it was also a very smooth way to finesse the issue, as with King County in Washington.

Why not have everyone vote in person on the first Tuesday in November, the way that worked for the first 200 years of American democracy?
These sorts of near-things are what happens when women are allowed to vote; the average housewife is roughly as stupid as the average black. So the most powerful political office in the world is held by a frail old man who shits his pants, and a candidate who states quite unambiguously that he'll further erode civil liberties is only narrowly defeated by someone less odious on a key issue for our time.
Virginia escaped the clutches of Karenocracy by the skin of its teeth.

This is false. It’s actually above-average IQ women who are married stay at home mothers (i.e., housewives.) Because it takes a lot of critical thinking ability, and mental strength to withstand social pressure, to understand that an infant’s need for his mother is as basic as his need for food.
It’s the women who think fulfillment comes from dumping the kids in indifferent daycare centers and driving for an hour each way on freeways so she can spend 8 hours in a cubicle, who are the dumb-as-bricks ones.
There is still a Lindbergh Terminal at MSP. However, both that and the Hubert Humphrey Terminal have had a second name added, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 respectively. This was done for the legitimate reason that drivers were often confused, and the terminal entrances were four miles apart by highway, even though they shared runways.

You have to understand that propagandists of, and working for, the planetary “intellectual elite” do not think that anybody, aside from members of their own crowd, should have the real right to vote.
This “Dana Milbank” is one of the elite class that not long ago run the ideology and propaganda departments of communist parties of communist-socialist states of Central and East Europe.
The only “right to vote” in those former communist states was the right to vote the right way.
There was only one party to choose to vote for, to ensure that in each election the common people could vote only the right way.
Dana Milbank is a Jew and thus he is a member of “the spiritual and intellectual elite of our planet”.
It is his right and prerogative to tell you what you are allowed to think and what you have to do.
It is his right and prerogative to, first, argue for, and then, to try to enforce the agenda of social and cultural “progress”. This naturally inv0lves the elimination of competing ideologies and parties and their supporters.
When the push comes to shove, and when those who are chosen to lead mankind have the machinery of state fully in their hands, then the elimination becomes physical.
There are examples from history to illustrate the point.
Like Steve, I did high school debate, both policy and Lincoln Douglas, and one of the skills debaters are either born with or acquire through reflection and practice is that before you issue your riposte to your opponent, you think through potential counter-arguments to your point, and either modify your point accordingly or issue qualifications to your position so as to pre-empt the impact of your opponents counter argument.
This guy: "There's like, creeping authoritarianism because of Republicans." Presumably he means how the Republicans who dominate Big Tech and the media are censoring everyone on the internet and on college campuses, and rounding up people who attend leftist protests? My God, on what planet has this guy been living?
And then there's the "Muh Democracy" bit: Democrats losing in an election is lethal to democracy. So presumably he wants no more elections so democracy will no longer be at risk.

Adoption of the 1st Tuesday after All Saints Day was not generalized until the 1850s. It was a common market day at that time. The utility of Saturday is that it is a regular work day for just 12% of the adult population and you won’t have rush hour gluts of people.

Milbank knows the reason McAwful lost, but can’t say it.
Tbe Democrat party's coalition of the fringes includes one of the most extreme fringes -- the teachers unions. The unions support teaching their students anti-white racism and gender confusion.

Now this is going to leave a mark and alert more than a few Democrats like the currently most evil Manchin and Sinema that hard Left business as usual politics is bad news. They were able to “find” enough ballots to drag the Governor across the finish line, but when you don’t expect trouble, seriously the truck driver spent \$153 for some signs or whatever and Dunkin’ Donuts, I assume for volunteers, and campaigned part time, you might just not be able to magic up 2,300 counterfeit ballots to “win.” And/or maybe he’d made enough enemies in two decades in the state legislature the local Democrats didn’t feel overly compelled to help him, this is New Jersey.

Dana Milbank’s family are carney folk going back generations. One of the key parts of carney culture is “kayfabe” which is essentially staying in character and pretending to believe the lies you are telling. Milbank has imported carney culture into what the WaPo humorously calls “opinion journalism”.
His grandfathers were Gordon Milbank and Howard Schulman. One was an engineer, the other a lawyer.

Just that simple statement, without any encitement to mass vandalism attacks on Holycost museums (like the tribally-promoted attacks on White statues) would result in a whole lot of semitic shrieking.
Yeah, best case he’ll cut back slightly on the worst excesses of mandatory indoctrination with anti-White hate propaganda in schools, but even that’s unlikely.

Chances are the transsexual Rapist of Loudoun county wasn’t white. Only 42% of the kids in the county system are white. 25% asian, 20% Hispanic 7% black. Couple that with the boy being 14 at the time of the rape, you’ve got a highly probable racial intersection. The girl’s dad for reasons unknown denied he was a racist on the Laura Ingraham show. Why did he say anything about race? Big tell about what occurred. Juvenile legal system strikes again.

Local enough to me I know most of the details. Father of the girl victim was called a racist and a liar to get him (more) riled up so they could arrest him for disturbance. The rape itself became complicated that she’d had sex with guy before. The boy and his mother certainly look white. This incident he’s charged with “two counts of forcible sodomy, one count of anal sodomy, and one count of forcible fellatio. [in that order, then he beat the h*ll out of her] He is awaiting trial on the second assault.”

He didn't listen when a man's daughter was raped by a boy wearing a skirt in the girls bathroom

He listened to the school board when they denied the rape happened.
He listened to the school board that denied CRT was being taught.
He listened to the Washington Post when they said parents had no say in their childrens education.
He listened to Obama who said the fuss over the rape was fake outrage.
He listened to the FBI and white house when they called parents who complained at school board meetings Domestic Terrorists.
