29. Democrats Need Younger Blood
Wed Nov 3, 2021, 02:07 AM

And they need to tackle the culture wars head on. The fact that Youngkin ran on the big lie theory shows that you don't attack the lie because nobody cares. You attack what the lie represents.

You agree that there is no place for the study of critical race theory in elementary and high school but point out that that is not what your opponent is really saying. He is using it as code for not teaching history in elementary and high school and you then say that teaching history as a core subject is critical to understanding just who we are as a nation and how we got there.

Only 2 counties in Virginia voted 80% or more for the Democrat while 20 counties voted 80% or more for the Republican. This shows how Republicans now have a stronger hold on the white vote than Democrats do on the black vote. This trend is what is going to keep Texas Republican for several more years or until well after Texas has has gone majority, minority.
