Virginia Democrats are projected to win control of both of the state’s legislature bodies, according to Decision Desk HQ, dealing a major blow to Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s agenda for the remainder of his term.

Democrats won control of the House of Delegates and maintained their grip on the state Senate. Tuesday’s election results mark a reversal from two years ago, when Youngkin was elected governor and Republicans won control of the House of Delegates.

    That’s all very convenient rhetoric for you I’m sure, but you also fail to take into account that parties die off all the time. It wasn’t always Democrats vs Republicans, there is a rich history of political parties in America.

    I don’t see how wishing for the destruction of Democrats is any different then those who wished to see the destruction of the Whig party towards the end of its days. They see an inferior political party and wish to see is destroyed and born again anew.

    I don’t see what shutting down that conversation does short of keeping the status quo. The same status quo that the far right is abusing in the US to enact their racist/transphobic/homophobic/bigoted bullshit.

        Yes, I was being hyperbolic. Ya’know, to point out that the destruction of US political parties have happened multiple times prior: even to the main two political parties. Would you like to talk on any of my actual points?
