There's a concerted rat fucking operation going on in VA against Democrats right now [View all] MrScorpio Feb 2019 OP

Yes. elleng Feb 2019 #1

Thankfully What is happening in VA is because of #metoo and #BLM KWR65 Feb 2019 #2

Oh right, blame black lives matter, elleng Feb 2019 #4

Blame? I am thankful that #metoo and #BLM are exposing sexism and racism. KWR65 Feb 2019 #9

Probably a good idea to have put this second part as part of your original response. Caliman73 Feb 2019 #25

Not, that's playing their game. We don't have to explain why Me too and BLM are important. MadDAsHell Feb 2019 #44

Believe it or not, I've run into some Democrats and progressives musicblind Feb 2019 #54

Did you see the responses the post got? Caliman73 Feb 2019 #68

What's your reasoning? MrScorpio Feb 2019 #6

You are crazy jll600 Feb 2019 #63

It is not racist. I support the #metoo and #blm movement. KWR65 Feb 2019 #89

Oh fuck no. ismnotwasm Feb 2019 #67

No one forced Northam to have that horrible press conference manor321 Feb 2019 #3

100% agree. OnDoutside Feb 2019 #83

What happens to the voters if repubs grab power? What about the redistricting? 58Sunliner Feb 2019 #86

Carefully coordinated is the key. If we panic, we lose VA for a generation. lagomorph777 Feb 2019 #107

I wish Tom Perriello had won the primary. He was a better choice dem4decades Feb 2019 #11

He didn't make that case to the VA voters. (nt) ehrnst Feb 2019 #104
