Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

Just caught up, and my take on the VA win is that it's not a win at all if #0 on the docket of "shit to get done immediately" isn't election security measures. Every state that goes red needs to have their elections made to look more like Florida's in terms of security or they're all hollow, incredibly temporary victories.
The GOP has one shot right now in VA to seal the deal on heading off any shenanigans in the future at the pass. They need to take it and do it ASAP.

Keep in mind that the Virginia Senate is still controlled by Democrats, but only barely. And the next election isn't until 2023. So there are some limits to legislation.

Oh. Double down. Dems are probably weighing the loss in Virginia against Newsom's victory while ignoring that was California.

Man I even said repeatedly to go ahead and have fun with the progs shitting themselves. Once again, asking what the practical gains and wins were is just anathema to you over socialized children. People were throwing frothing fits of exuberation like the tide has turned. Woke is on the retreat! Calm your tits lmao. There is never going to be lasting positive change if we get so caught up in the political point scoring that we can't simply ask "what are we gonna get here?" Why should I coddle the fragile children you are referring to? These people are doomers in denial. They can only take solace in any kind of setback the regime endures and cannot handle emotionally being pressed on how, besides morale, the regime is affected. Good lord imagine thinking the person who would rather we do better than settle is a doomer.
Stop letting idioms do your critical thinking.
I ask if these people are even "good". Better than awful is not good. "Now with lube!" is not good, it's just better than awful. I do not consider taking all of this energy against the education system and using it to funnel more money into it and making sure there is a choice in state-run child holding facilities you can send your kid to as a "good".

If anyone's having problems with critical thinking it's certainly not me, between the two of us.
It's at this point that I have to ask for you to back up your assertions with some form of evidence. The guy quite literally to my knowledge just got elected as a governor for the first time today. People are going off of his party affiliation, his platform, and his self-purported values as far as judgement of what he's capable of as well as what he might attempt to accomplish as governor, and that's where the optimism is coming from.
I made the point that perfect is the enemy of good because you're acting as if though %100 of the problem not being solved with a single election is the same as no progress being made whatsoever which is frankly fucking childish and myopic. Yes, I will say that this outcome was good because the alternative was pretty damn bad by all metrics. Other people have listed all the reasons as to why so I won't bother reiterating them here.
If it's not enough for you to have some measure of a positive emotion from it then fine, whatever. But prattling on about how nothing has changed and things are still fucked is absolutely asinine when people have been patient enough with it to bother not only responding but in those responses actually listing out and explaining to you why that's not the case. Now if he does go on to start advocating CRT and walking back everything he ran on then sure, I'll perhaps agree that you were right in the long term but even in that event I'd still say that your prognostications on the matter were ill-founded and made far, far too early into the aftermath of the VA election when you made them.

Wait, the former chairman of the DNC, close personal friends of the Clintons, just lost the DC suburb known as VA to a political nobody?

No handlers, just unfiltered autism. Really though, did we not learn our lesson from the last few years? Just because an opposition to the Big D wins doesn't mean they're our friend. McConnell, Pence, Lady Lindsey, I'm not taking it as a given that someone using the anger at the Big D is gonna do people right. Lord save you though if you interrupt the party to ask wtf they're planning to do? Oh more funding to public schools? More "choice" in public schools? Oh, well, that'll solve the festering issues. I'd also like to see how they're planning to truly ban CRT as you're gonna need to cut into all of the IDpol in order to do it. So forgive my lack of uninhibited optimism that a ConInc hedgie that's using IDpol themselves (come on...black immigrant LGov) is going to remove CRT in am effective manner.Lube on the suppository...
Props for pointing out that bullshit though.

If it's any consolation, Youngkin very publicly stated at the start of his campaign that fraud occurred in 2020 and hasn't waffled on that. He was among only a handful of GOP primary candidates that even had the balls to say it directly, and he was louder than most.
So yeah, milquetoast middle-of-the-road GOP guy in other respects, but he was willing to take the risk when the other establishment favorites tried to distance themselves from it.

It's pretty clear you've given up. I haven't. Others participating in this thread haven't. Being realistic - and some of your points do have merit - is one thing. Being envious of others optimism and spewing text walls of doomercope at them in an effort to recruit others to join you in your misery is another.

The GOP was sinking in VA till the Democrats, for the love of fuck, decided to go full blown San Francisco style retard.
This election was the Democrats to lose and they blew it so hard.
This election was a referendum on Biden, not if people like the faggots in charge of the VA GOP, who apparently cucked hard in the previous state elections that allowed Northam to get into office and lose the legislature.
Trump's strength is the white working class and those alienated hard by the culture war shit, no wonder Trump does real good in Middle America and rural areas of many Blue States.
The question is if Republicans in Virginia have the will to stop the pozz or just business as usual since they lucked out in this election.
As far as federal elections go, Virginia is not in play for 2024 and the 2024 election hinges on grassroots Republican activism and can Trump this time avoid the mistakes of 2020.
I am more concerned with Arizona, Georgia and the Rust belt since Trump just needs them.

So the dems took nothing away from last night. Except to double down again on the shit that makes them unpopular as all hell.

This was brought up by Barris and Barnes last night. A milquetoast republican running nationally like Youngkin could probably win VA, but only Trump can really win in the rust belt. GA and AZ were so blatantly stolen we shouldn't be trying to adjust anything for them, especially the RINOs in AZ (Doug Ducey flew to Europe for vacation right as the legislature got enough votes for COVID and Election law stuff).
You could win the presidency next time just winning back AZ, GA, and flipping VA, but there's much more wiggle room in fighting for the rust belt and you don't have to sacrifice so much or pin hopes on the fraud machine not working well again.
