Why do Virginia Democrats have no spine?

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

Pull funding from rural Virginia until they comply. Richmond and NoVa literally pay for everything and they represent the interests of the majority of Virginians.

Don't let a bunch of cornfields hold back progress.

hmm I wonder what the reason for this is....?

Rural areas are the past. The suburbs are the future. States like Pennsylvania in the 2018 governor's race show just how irrelevant Dem losses are in flyover country as long as we make gains in the suburbs.

Long response: This depends on the state and on exactly how bad the rural bleeding is; getting blown out 65-35 is not the same as getting blown out 80-20. Note the Kentucky 2019 governor's race, and note the infamous Chuck Schumer quote about winning two voters on the Philadelphia Main Line or whatever for every voter lost in Western Pennsylvania.
Short response: okey-dokey, wokie

Virginia Dems are legislating like the Seattle City Council but it's still not enough for you people because they aren't doing stop and frisk on Appalachians.

The newly elected Soviet majority in Virginiya Oblast is every bit as acrimonious as the California dems -- pulling that off is quite the "distinction."

They didn't even repeal Right to Work!

And why should they? 96% of Va. Workers choose not to be union members. Why repeal a 70 year old law that clearly isn't in need of change? The only obvious reason is to reward corrupt special interest donors that again only make up 4% of workers. Right to work is Pro Worker for 96% of us. The repeal proposal even called for eliminating the secret ballot in union elections... how the hell is that pro worker?

You realize of course that as a literal card-carrying member of the Federalist Society your perspective on this isn't going to be convincing to leftists either on- or off-forum.

What's  still in Buchanan is more the "elderly, disabled, let's house some prisoners, government check, left behind class"

And the "elderly, disabled, let's house some prisoners, government check, left behind vote" should be a key part of the Democratic coalition in a sane political alignment.
