Once again, democrats missed the memo

I feel like the Democrat running for governor in VA has not understood the right thing to campaign on.

She is promising more teachers and better pay, but seems to not be aware that youngkin got in office on strong anti-education policies.

It just seems like a weird angle to try to win on when the state has shown previously it wants to destroy public education.

If she stays on this talking point, she will lose.

Nah, Youngkin won by scaring voters that maybe Democrats wanted to teach kids that white people are bad (Critical Race Theory). And I seem to recall reading that the problem wasn’t that voters believed what Youngkin was saying was true, it was that they weren’t sure that it wasn’t true. It’s not the policies themselves, it’s the framing of those policies. More teachers and better pay is a good and reasonable goal for Virginia Democrats, and they can achieve it with the right framing. From what I’ve seen of them in the recent past I have also thought that the Virginia Democratic Party seemed a bit feckless, but I don’t see anything wrong with what they seem to be doing this time.
