If the GOP wins Virginia I expect an immediate and vociferous response from the 'Stop The Steal!' crowd and demands for immediate recounts.
Posted this on the last page:
Meanwhile, if the Virginia governor's race goes to the Republican (looking likely) — say goodbye to Biden's left-wing agenda.
Moderate Democrats will try to save their own hides at the polls by moving to the political center — Biden, too, I'm guessing.

Youngkin victory deals another blow to Biden, as agenda stalls in Congress-Fox News

Hmm, let’s see what axlerod has to say.

Axelrod: Democrats In Swing Districts Are Probably Rethinking Their Vote For Biden's Reconciliation Package After Tonight | Video | RealClearPolitics
DAVID AXELROD: They only have one-term governors in Virginia. I was struck the other day. Kamala Harris came in to campaign for him. She said the question in this campaign is whether we will move forward and whether we will move back. And she is standing next to a guy who was governor some time back. It seemed like a discordant message.
But I want to make a point about the messages and how they're going to be read of this election. David Chalian talked earlier about 53% of the voters saying that the Democratic party is too liberal and Youngkin winning 75% of that vote. They each got equal numbers of votes or percentages of the votes from Republicans and Democrats, and Republicans and Democrats voted almost equal numbers. But independents broke nine points in favor of Youngkin. And that proved to be devastating.
Just remember that Joe Biden, I think, won independents said by 18 points ten years ago. So that is a real concern.
One of the questions I have is if you are a Democrat on Capitol Hill and you are from a swing district in suburban areas, are you rethinking tonight your vote on this reconciliation package. Are you thinking, maybe the best you shouldn't do it. If I were sitting in the White House or the leadership of the Democratic councils in Congress, I would be worried about it. I'd be trying to firm these people up. I know how this goes, I've experienced it. I know when things go badly, people begin to think of themselves.

I would be surprised if Biden gets a second term but he hasnt buried his head in the sand on climate change and is trying to do something. Trump was a complete moron on this issue and many states like California were way past Trump on this issue.
Can someone better versed in U.S politics than I, please explain to me why Republicans cant seem to get there head around this important issue or for the most part and even acknowledge it let alone do anything about it and why there appears to be so many Americans who seem to disbelieve climate change is here.
There seems to be a political anomaly in the states. Why are the democrats moderately left of centre yet by all appearance the Republicans are so far right of centre they would be (IMO) virtually unelectable in most western democracies?

The US presidency has become a bit of a poisoned chalice since Trump was voted in to office. He behaved with a total lack of grace in both domestic and international politics.
The democrats put up Sleepy Joe as a candidate out of desperation. Despite his histrionics and a complete lack of charm, the buffoon that is Trump still persuaded millions to vote for him. Even with such benign opposition as Biden, the democrats managed to get it right.
I don’t claim to have any great understanding of the American system, but if so many people voted for a second term of the Donald Trump show, that system is clearly broken, and not fit for purpose.
Just like democracy in the UK, the USA needs strong but determined leadership. There are huge capability gaps and poor opposition on both sides of the pond.
Like most all US politicians their heads are focused on getting elected or reelected. Re climate change 2 reasons prevent embracing the issue. In the majority of the Republican (red) states the fossil fuel industry provides large numbers of jobs. Putting folks out of work is not the smartest thing a politician can do. This coupled with the fear of getting on the wrong side of Trump and supporters make embracing (climate change) something obvious to all, political suicide.

Fox, and the other propaganda news outlets, roll out their “climate change experts”, who spew their “alternative facts“ on climate change, and their viewers lap it up.
Looks like the agenda of the liberal politicians to turn the U.S. into a socialist country is slowly dying of a thousand cuts. The people have awakened.
Dems keep butting heads after Virginia shellacking - POLITICO
Maybe when they see hundreds of carbon spewing planes parked wherever there is a climate summit they are turned off. Maybe when they see nothing but talk coming from these summit meanings and countries like China and India pushing more coal fired eel plants they say why bother and Imcould go on and on.
Republicans are not that deep. No, they’re just sitting around the trailer parks, watching Fox News, and drinking the Kool-Aid.Originally Posted by REGURGITATOR
Coal-fired eel? Is that how they cook it in China?Originally Posted by REGURGITAOR
