AP calls Virginia gubernatorial primary for Northam in a first test of Trump-era politics

 

Is this the part where we start making excuses about how Perriello was only a fake progressive and that's why he lost?


Pretty bummed, tho. I'm just going to assume the turnout sucked.

 

Bosses under fire for telling staff to vote Tory or risk losing jobs

 

In fairness there's probably been times that my SO was like "eh, he's being a dick, let him go take a long walk off a short pier etc etc" haha

 

Was the primary race in Virginia characterized as a re-run of the 2016 primary? Because both candidates seemed meh.

Official Birthday Card for President Trump

 

YOU GUYS I AM TRYING NOT TO GET TOO EXCITED FOR MY FELLOW SBU ALUM BUT OOOOOOOO SHE'S WINNING HER PRIMARY ATM

 

Gee, there's no way ANYONE would use that for any reason other than wishing Trump a happy birthday ..

I guess they're as enthused as New Jersey voters

 

Senator Harris had her prosecutor pants on today. No time for Keebler Elf's deflections.

 

I am bummed Tom Perriello lost. He's the only one I really felt comfortable voting for in November.

 

Also both GOP members who ran were basically racists, Virginia is a weird place man

 

What are the very very best articles that I can link my parents to show them that powerful GOP seat holders are literal fascists? And that the police force is an inherently racist institution. I want them to learn to the full extent and shut the hell up sometimes. They vote Democrat more than Republican but they're basic and old and don't understand the aforementioned and it pisses me off. They're like the average dumb American who only knows Fox or CNN sometimes.

 

A little disappointed in my state tonight, at least it's looking like it won't be Northam v Stewart though.

This surprises you?

 

Apparently Rep Steve Scalise was shot last night...details are scant but early indication seems to be it was an attempted mass shooting, not targeting him
