Morrissey seems a welcome addition to a Virginia Democratic party that includes governor blackface and a rapist Lieutenant Governor

O God, ease our suffering in this, our moment of great despair. Yea, admit this kind and decent political party into thy arms of thine heavenly area, up there. And Moab, he lay us upon the band of the Canaanites, and yea, though the Hindus speak of karma, I implore you: give the VAGOP a break.

- Every prominent Democrat in VA or otherwise has denounced Northam and called for him to resign

- The allegations against Fairfax haven't been proven any more than the allegations against Donald Trump have

Also it's rich how Republicans claim to care about racism and sexual assault when you know damn well you'll be voting to reelect a racist who's been credibly accused of an endless stream of sexual misconduct and even outright rape. Republicans only care about these issues when they can use them to bash Democrats over the head with.

It seems - substantial number of whites in Virginia tries to prove that they are "the most progressive people of the state", outdoing even Blacks, who, generally,  held this role since 1960th... Situation not too frequent in most Southern states, where, usually, whites became much more conservative even in comparison with conservative Democrats of the past. Probably Virginia is more "Mid-Atlantic", then Southern, state now...

Who took out half your brain and eliminated any semblance of coherent thought in your writing style during the time it took to create that post monstrosity?

If you are talking about Joe Morrisey he won because of black voters. Notice he won Petersburg which is 80% black by 40 points and he got the highest turnout there.

[Nyvin]

Is the VA GOP really only contesting one dem held senate seat?   That seems nuts.

In part - about him. But - not only. Some other white candidates tended to be among "the most progressive" too. Sometimes - more, then their Bllack primary opponents.
