Some Good News -- Seriously -- About Politics

[Hortensis]

2. This IS good news. Anti-government Republicans are losing across

the nation, as they should. They do not represent the will of the people, not even those deluded people who vote for them. They are on the wrong side of history, and if it weren't for funding by billionaire extremists they'd have destroyed themselves as a political power long ago.

VA's Democratic Governor Northam supported the Medicaid expansion and is obviously strongly committed to universal pre-K for VA's four-year-olds. I can't help remembering, because it shocked me at the time, that VA's Our Revolution actually announced on the eve of the general election, a reiteration, not new news, that they would not endorse him against his Republican opponent. I hope some are sorry and have left that group. But: he won because the people of VA rejected extremism from both sides.
