Disagree. I'm a lifelong (age 66) Democrat who's pretty upset by the racism and trans-cult anti-science that gets taught in our public schools these days. (And please don't tell me that it isn't taught, I've seen the materials.) I would have voted Republican in Virginia. If not for this issue, I would have voted Democrat (as I always have, and did in the mayoral election that I could actually vote in).
I wish this were true: "The main mechanism for fighting the pandemic is getting more people vaccinated" . . . but it now appears the vaccinations do not actually immunize but are only intended to mitigate, lessen the symptoms of people who are infected after having been vaccinated, while most people who get Covid even without vaccination do not have severe symptoms--so how can anyone tell if it is working or not? And since even people who have been vaccinated can be infected by the virus and spread it, how exactly is the vaccine supposed to be working to fight the pandemic?
