This evening, the Virginia Democratic party held an election eve rally in Fairfax County, Virginia, with speakers from gun sense (Moms Demand Action) and union organizations, Senator (and former Governor of Virginia) Mark Warner, the first female Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, Dorothy McAuliffe, and the three state-wide Democratic Party candidates. It was a boisterous crowd excited about the messages throughout the hour-long rally.
Truly, tonight, the best was saved for last as Terry McAuliffe made a passionate and heartfelt case for ‘Why Terry’ along with why HELL NO Trumpkin Youngkin.
Here is the event:
While you might wish to watch the entire rally, Tarey’s 15 minutes beginning at the 47th minute are well worth the watch. (Mea culpa, this video doesn’t allow clipping and there isn’t (yet) a transcript … ). Honestly, I am glad that I went and experienced Terry’s passion firsthand.
For some perspectives, see Blue Virginia's post on the event.
GET OUT THE VOTE
The polls show this as an extremely close race. It shouldn’t be. Youngkin is a Trump acolyte who denies climate science, is a life-time NRA member, will undermine election integrity, undermine COVID protections, and otherwise turn the tide back in the Commonwealth. Terry has committed to 100% carbon-free electricity by 2035, boosting worker protections, boosting teacher compensation (Virginia is 50th in the nation while being the 10th richest state), a $15 minimum wage by 2024, and … And … AND so much more.
