We’ve had a very good couple of years of getting things done in VA. The reason this election is so close is because the GOP culture war and fear mongering works on a lot more people than it should.
Apparently this is politics in America in 2021. If Party A hasn’t fixed every problem in the country/world since the last election vote for Party B. When Party B fails to fix everything vote for Party A again.
Then sit back and wonder why things continue to go to shit when we’re rapidly switching gears between very different policy agendas and strategies and there’s little continuity in government.
One troubling difference is party B doesn’t even want the system to work. They want people apathetic and blindly cynical (towards politicians, not CEOs or televangelists).
When the system flails, party B somehow often gets even more votes. It’s ridiculous and this is not sustainable
