Red, a word of advice, you lefties really need to move away from the racist rhetoric. It's not working anymore as proved by the Virginia Governor's race. Youngkin got as many latino votes as McAuliffe. And three times the number of black women voted for Youngkin than what is normal. If you want to keep losing elections then keep up with the white supremacist, homophobe, zenophobe, speal. It just won't work for you anymore.
What happened here is quite simple. African American Barack Obama twice won Virginia handily. Biden won by 10 points in 2020. But a republican wins governorship in 2021 and its those "evil white voters" striking again. GTFO! Obama or Biden could not have won without those "evil white voters."
You lefties made the mistake of messing with mama bear's cubs. Families are not going to let you turn their kids into 7 year old marxists. Black families don't want their kids segregated, or rewarded without earning it. Moderate dems bolted to Youngkin because of it.
It was a coalition of moderate democrats, independents and conservatives that did you marxist in. But keep on with the race baiting if you like getting punished by the voters.
PS, it's one person one vote. Marxist dogma about white votes counts more doesn't work here.
It's not one person, one vote. The electoral college assigns somewhere between .85 and .90 vote per person for minorities, and I may be underselling that. That's reality. The Senate is unbalanced when you go to two votes per state regardless of population. You get somewhere like West Virginia, which is 92 to 93% white, holding up the rest of the country. The House is the most "democratic" of the institutions, and even that suffers demography rigging, AKA gerrymandering. And finally, the Supreme Court makeup, because it relies so heavily on Senate approval, is probably the least "democratic" of the institutions.
None of it is democratic by any stretch of the imagination. Welcome to reality.
The founding fathers were well aware of what they were doing. They knew all about the tyranny of the majority. It was actually brilliant what they did. Each state no matter population gets two senators, and the house is based on population. States with more population get more reps.
We are a republic not a democracy. Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on whats for dinner.
Of course, I realize none of it fits in with your love of totalitarian central planning marxism.
Hey, I will admit the socialists have done a great job of redistribuing the wealth in Venezuela. Under capitalism half the country was poor. The socialists came in and redistributed everything. Now, 95% of the country is poor. Much more equitable. Oh, however, a little snafu has occured. They don't have anyone left to confiscate money from.
Yes, I know red. The Venezuelan socialists are fumblers....just like the russian socialists, just like the cuban socialists, just like the north korean socialists. BUT YOUR SOCIALISM, Comrade Dietz, will be successful. Because you know how to do it right. Just one problem in your theory. The talented simply will not produce to cover everyone's ass when they don't get paid more than anyone else for it.
You ought to move on down there redietz. You'll probably be dead by the time the US gets socialist enough for your tastes. Move on down to Caracas and you can spend the rest of your life in a great socialist republic. And with your US connection you can have someone mailing you food all the time....since there is nothing to eat in Venezuela.
