Virginia will be a nailbiter. The decrease in early voting may suggest a shift in electoral dynamics. Notably, Republicans appear to be gaining traction within key voter segments. However, abortion and women's rights remain a central theme, and it will influence voters in favor of Democrats.

Then there is the Israel-Hamas conflict, and I am not sure how it will affect this election. That said, here is my prediction.

In the House of Delegates, Democrats will take control with 51 or 52 seats.

In the Senate, Democrats will gain one seat and maintain control.

The latest republican talking point is “parental rights”. That is how youngkin won the governorship. It sounds good - everyone thinks parents should have a say over their kid’s education, right? The problem is it really means banning books and targeting lgbtq kids. We have to develop a response.

Yeah, this is a rough one. Finding a proper response has escaped me so far.

It's infuriating because it's obviously complete bullshit.

I think a possible response is - do you want someone who hasn’t been inside a school or read a book since they were in high school choosing the curriculum for your child or do you want trained professionals making that decision.

Plus think of the absolute chaos if every parent could direct the curriculum for their child. If that's what you want- home school for Pete's sake.

the response is simple & obvious, they’re BigGovRepubs who’re so fragile & easily triggered they wanna turn the entire nation into their safespace free of anything they don’t like or understand & create a nanny state that regulates ppls lives & choices. don’t get why national dems don’t get it lol.

flip the script on them entirely. they wanna control, regulate & censor every choice you make, everything you read & consume, what your children can learn, etc. the only real exception to their big brother tendencies is if you happen to be a gun manufacturer or multinational monopoly…

Jane what you just said is the perfect response. Also Democrats have to hammer the point that “Parents rights were never taken away. We have the PTA. In addition, Parents rights shouldn’t mean harming other children, what about their parents rights?”
I think a group of us need to go on the road.

It's like when they euphemistically refer to "owning Black people" and "committing treason" as "states' rights".
