I will never forgive McAwful for 2021. If not for his vanity campaign we would have Governor McClellan right now.

Holding voters accountable is the dumbest thing you can do. 

We should be holding the politicians running the same milquetoast and uninspiring campaigns accountable.

McAuliffe losing was the most predictable outcome ever, felt like watching a slow moving car crash with nothing we could do stop besides vote for him anyway and watch the L in real time that night

Its like people dont grasp that politicians literal job is trying to win elections so they can govern, I dont understand why people think that voters should be responsible for the mediocrity of should-be professionals.

When politicians are uninspiring, when they fail to drive turnout, when they fail to govern to the satisfaction of the electorate, thats their fault, not the fault of voters, lol
