I live in VA so I’ve been flooded with ads for what feels like an eternity.
Youngkin’s are as expected, bullshit but effective. “Crime is up. These 50 sheriffs support Glen Youngkin” and “Terry doesn’t think parents should have a say in their child’s education!”
Meanwhile McAuliffe’s are all like “Glen Youngkin supports Donald Trump.” Yea, good one Terry.
I mean this is the guy that barely squeaked out a win against fucking Ken Cuccinelli in 2013; it’s not like he’s some political savant. I’d say I don’t know why they keep trotting these guys out there, but I mean, I know why.
Same shit for the NJ Gov race. Jack Cittarelli (R) is just absolutely plastering ads everywhere. Billboards, socoal media, youtube, Facebook, TV, etc. and they all just mash the grievance and scare buttons. Meanwhile Murphy (D, incumbent, creepy billionaire) has very few ads and the ones he does have are either “Jack is NJs Donald Trump” or “Kumbaya lets all come together”. The polls have been steadily tightening. I’m shook for these results next week.
I feel like Dems in NJ only manage to lose the governorship when proven to be super corrupt or a scandalized creep of some kind, so it would really say something if Murphy managed to blow it, since he’s basically neither. And the dude legalized cannabis which should count for something.
if NJ is even close, dems need to fix the supply chain issues and now or they won’t have to worry about keeping the filibuster cause they won’t have 40 either here or 24.
I’m like 90% sure my sister or her 9-year-old daughter got the rona. We were both at our cousin’s house for halloween and she’s mysteriously in seclusion now with some weird excuses about her daughter being “really tired” etc. (this isn’t the sister I thought had rona a few weeks ago (that turned out to be a false positive), this is my other sister)
No idea why parents have any expertise to decide how education should be done. They have as much right to decide that as to decide how surgery on kids should be done.
