Of course the OBVIOUS solution would have been for conservatives to vote for ANYONE with an “R” by their name, including RINOs, rather than trying to ‘teach the Republican Party a lesson’ by sitting out last November’s election.

So, tell me, how does one vote for the R by the name when the GOP in Virginia failed to run candidates in almost 25% of races. Then there was the redistricting done by a professor in California, overwhelming blue in Northern VA, Richmond and now Tidewater.

“So, tell me, how does one vote for the R by the name when the GOP in Virginia failed to run candidates in almost 25% of races.”

It’s not the GOP ‘running’ candidates, it’s potential candidates that deciding that a district is deep blue, so they don’t waste their time and money on it. If a person running as a Republican has an actual chance of winning, there WILL be a GOP candidate on the ballot - the party cannot stop that from happening. That would be the other 75% of the races.

While I can’t help the redistricting, I have had arguments here with people claiming the Republican Party sucks and there is ‘no difference’ between the parties, and therefore they’re not going to vote. Hopefully those people are learning something now.
