"As corporate Democrats rushed to baselessly pin McAuliffe's loss on progressives in Congress, the Battle Born Collective, Justice Democrats, the Sunrise Movement, and United We Dream Action argued in a joint statement that the former Virginia governor's campaign for his old post was "designed to fail."

"What happened in Virginia is what happens when Democrats fail to take on the GOP's divide-and-conquer racism and motivate people to turn out," the progressive coalition said. "The McAuliffe campaign had no comprehensive pro-worker economic message against a literal private equity magnate."

Far from offering Virginians a clear policy agenda and a positive vision for the future, McAuliffe—who previously served as chair of the Democratic National Committee—"ran the milquetoast campaign he wanted to run," the groups continued. "Every other word he uttered was 'Donald Trump' instead of focusing on the issues voters cared about the most."

"This was a controlled experiment for what NOT to do in 2022," the coalition added. "This is what it looks like when Democrats get caught flat-footed and let Republicans dictate the terms of the debate by manufacturing a fake 'education crisis.' It does not have to be this way. There is still time to adopt an inclusive economic message that crowds out racist dog whistles... This should be a wake-up call for Democrats: Give people something to vote for or watch yourselves become the very thing they resoundingly vote against."

Spoiler

McAuliffe's loss to Republican Glenn Youngkin and an unexpectedly close gubernatorial race in the blue state of New Jersey were seen as potential harbingers of what's to come in the 2022 midterms, as Democrats cling to narrow majorities in both chambers of the U.S. Congress.

"The circumstances in the two governor's races all but confirmed the collapse of the coalition that propelled Democrats to power during the Donald Trump administration and Joe Biden to the presidency in 2020," the Washington Post reported late Tuesday. "In the election's wake, there were fresh doubts in the party about Biden's ability to push his domestic agenda across the finish line, and to repel the new attacks Republicans have opened on culture fronts, especially over schools."

But progressives argued that Democratic losses in 2022 are not inevitable—as long as the party learns from McAuliffe's defeat and adjusts its message and actions accordingly.

In a column for Common Dreams on Wednesday, progressive writer Richard Eskow noted that McAuliffe's campaign website was filled with "vague platitudes and promises" instead of straightforward and popular economic messaging—a serious problem in a race in which voters ranked the economy as the top issue.

The "Economy" section of McAuliffe's website, for instance, pledged "critical investments in building and training the workforce of the future and ensuring that people of all ages have the skills they need to be successful in the jobs of tomorrow."

"Terry will achieve this through targeted investments in workforce training and development, partnering with businesses and our educational institutions to re-skill and retrain Virginians, and reimagining our K-12 education system so that every child has access to a world-class education and is workforce-ready upon graduation," the page reads.

Eskow further observed that, in lieu of a compelling economic platform, McAuliffe attempted to "make the election a referendum on Donald Trump," a strategy that "was a failure since Trump wasn't on the ballot."

"After 10 months of Democratic government in Washington, voters saw little action that improved their lives," Eskow wrote. "People need real help navigating the current economic crisis."

In September, McAuliffe sided with corporate Democrats in Congress by describing the Build Back Better Act's original $3.5 trillion top-line spending level as "too high"—even as polling from the same month showed that nearly 60% of Virginians supported that amount of spending on Democrats' social spending and climate package.

The reconciliation bill has since been cut roughly in half and stripped of popular provisions such as dental and vision benefits to appease Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), and other conservative Democrats in Congress.

In a statement on Wednesday, the We Demand More Coalition—which is composed of dozens of women-led advocacy groups—said that "last night's elections in Virginia and across the country demonstrated that if Democrats want to remain competitive, they must deliver for the voters who turned out for them in 2020."

"The Build Back Better Act is a critical investment toward building an economy that truly works for all women, caregivers, and families across demographics and geographic locations," the coalition added. "While we are grateful to our elected leaders as they fight for these historic investments, last night's elections showed us that voters need them to get the job done."

Rabbi Jason Kimelman-Block, Washington director of Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, echoed that sentiment, declaring, "This moment demands bold progressive action that meaningfully improves people's lives."

"McAuliffe's loss in Virginia shows why passing a robust recovery plan should be the top priority for congressional Democrats," Kimelman-Block said Wednesday. "If Democrats want to keep their majorities in Congress next year, they should listen to the progressive champions pushing for a strong Build Back Better plan that lifts everyone up today while investing in our shared future."

I completely agree that the shambolic Democratic Congress hurt their state level candidates; and if they had managed to accomplish something it would have boosted their chances by association. 
 

That said, the Governor of Virginia has shit to do with any of that legislation. He does have a lot to do with education in Virginia and unsurprisingly, the GOP seized on it, turned it into an emotional issue, and then cackled as their opponent told the parents of Virginia to stay the hell out of their own kids’ schools. 
 

This column is the lowest form of political argument. A progressive coalition says more progressive politics are the answer, story at 10. They offer almost no data, and you have to realize that regardless of the outcome, this coalition would write the same gotdamn column: “the results of this election night show that our policies are the way forward.” It’s PR and not any sort of analysis.

Disagree. It defines the teams, of which there are three primary players presently - trumpers, neoliberal "centrists" and progressives.

The left (where DEI/CRT has backing) has zero power in this equation, because progressives occupy the lanes where the left might make inroads and progressives are not as hip on identity politics (one reason why the left hates progressives). 

The neoliberal centrists hold the most power, with the trumpers in a close second.

In many ways, the 2021 VA Gov. election was a scaled down 2016 presidential election: A centrist neoliberal plugged into the Establishment and locked into the status quo v. an self-proclaimed outsider using culture war tactics. We know how those elections turn out (like they did in Virginia last night).

A candidate must stand for something other than "I am not Donald Trump." 

2020 was a remarkable show of unity to beat Donald Trump. I am afraid that unity grows weaker each day.

Telling anyone they don't have a say in their Childs education is a fucked up thing to proclaim.

 

EDIT:  Wow, so I guess you don't have children. My Childrens education was of paramount importance to me and my wife, and anyone telling us we didn't have a say in what they were learning is fucked up beyond belief, and so are you if you think parents shouldn't have a say in their Childs education. Are you really that ignorant or just having another temper tantrum  ?

I want a say in my child’s education, but I deeply resent national political figures convincing the poorly educated, easily duped, or cynical members of my community to interfere with my child’s education. I don’t want these people to have a say in my family’s life.

I’d rather they not destroy their children since we live in a society, but they won’t spread their trash into my household.

There is certainly left-wing madness to deal with, but “conservative” degenerates trying to infect my family with their deranged thinking is the real looming threat when it comes to the schools. Well, that and valuing deranged for thinking over actually getting a good education, but it’s hard to differentiate.

People who threaten teachers or administrators over political garbage are terrorists and shouldn’t get a say. I don’t consult the Taliban for parenting advice either. People who make up impenetrable riddles of false claims based on pretend boogie men are liars and shouldn’t get a say. There’s room for genuine disagreement on curriculum and managing a health crisis, but this isn’t what’s happening with the national narrative. It’s made up garbage damaging my community and my family.

A quick look at social and economic statistics illustrates quite convincingly that structural racism in the United States is unjust and in need of change. But at least it's better than the Jim Crow era.

Well, no advancements happened between January 1, 2017 and January 1, 2021 because of the party of no and their orange god.  We took a massive step back post 9/11 thanks to the Patriot Act.  Citizens United also fucked all sorts of shit up.  

There were improvements that both W and Obama tried to make (W with immigration, Obama with the ACA) that either failed miserably due to the right of his own party or was written poorly because lobbyists for the insurance industry wrote the damn thing.  

However, the US really started going downhill with Nixon in the 70's.  Real wages stagnated, and still have never caught up.  Meanwhile, with the advent of trickle down economics, the wealth gap gets bigger and bigger.  

I used to be like you.  But one thing that is apparent in NYC. I am well off, but I am nowhere near the ultra-rich here.  I may be white, but I am also a woman.  I have clawed my way in a male dominated industry, generally being paid 25-30% less than my male counterparts who do not have the experience or quite frankly the talent that I do.  So while I may not know what it is like to be a minority, I absolutely know what is like to not be taken seriously because of what isn't between my legs.

Um, no.  What I said, and I will type slowly since reading comprehension isn’t something you are good at, is that I am not going to PAY to fly to Amarillo, Texas to jump the line to get a shot since I am a New York State and city resident, and my tax dollars have gone to making sure that the vaccine is free for everyone.  Yeah, it sucked that appointments were that fucking backed up, but it was what it was.  Completely different argument, then again, you are a disingenuous asshole, so par for the course.

Yeah go look at my posts and see the little fuck emojis next to every one from dear old Penelope.  Then come back and respond again..

So, another Daily Texan snow flake crying about rep and safe spaces.  You have come in this thread and crowed about how Youngkin is a political outsider and will not bow the knee to Trump.  Yet you continue to vote for a political party who has bought all in on the Big Lie, treats minorities and women as second class citizens, and wants to prevent all eligible voters from being able to do so.  If you cannot handle it, and don’t want to get negged, then leave.

I congratulate the Virginia R's on winning with a candidate who looks as if he can conjugate irregular verbs, and does not make me think of snake-handling tent revivals or guys at a kiosk in the mall selling Dead Sea cleansing salt crystals.

If you ever did stand-up, I'd pay to watch. I'll bring my snake to watch also.

Wait a minute, you wont travel to see your family because you dont want to spend money in Texas? That actually makes me sad for your parents. You make your parents travel to see you all the time? That seems out there. Family always 1st. Screw politics. 

I’m sure they’re crushed.

Shouldn’t you be spouting out some more insane bullshit in the taxes thread like the poor using their refund checks to reach the million dollar wealth goal by 40 you believe everyone should easily meet?

The Dems can’t compete the with R propaganda machines without having one of their own, they just don’t have one. They cannot compete with Fox News, newsmax and all the AM conservative radio shows.
The dems have npr to show some news, it boils down to 5 radio stations screaming about CRT and npr taking about a bird species in Idaho that one guy photographed.

They don’t talk about policies at local level and don’t energize the voter base. They do a bit on national level but get crushed in off years. 
it’s kind of like football recruiting, it’s a 24/7 game and not 1 month out the year.

 

IMO they need to have a charismatic person running for president like Clinton and Obama who know how to  get people energized.

if they run with Harris it will be a bloodbath, she couldn’t inspire who person who did a pound of coke in a rave.

 

Do focus groups of what to say to combat rs shit that will stick with the ppl and repeat it
