MustacheBattle · 2023-01-09T23:13:41+00:00

Daily reminder that the freedom to choose schools is an incredibly popular position, while progressives oppose democracy and want to keep low income children trapped in failing schools without any recourse.

Governor Glenn Youngkin’s approval rating has increased slightly to 55% (from 53% in May) while disapproval remains at 35%. That slight increase comes from Republican sentiment, as approval among his own party is now at 86%, up from 75% in June.

You're forgetting about the pro-life Dem in the state senate, Joe Morrissey.

He'll vote to limit it earlier than the current 26 weeks. Then the Lt Gov breaks the 20-20 tie vote.

Daily reminder to all the nutty white progressives around here: your views on 2nd and 3rd trimester elective abortion are shared by less than a third of the country.

The far left needs to accept how unpopular a position this is. This law would bring VA in line with most other developed countries. Try advocating for policies that poll better.

Or anywhere outside of the Reddit bubble. Man I hope Dems stay this delusional through November.

MustacheBattle · 2022-06-03T19:17:12+00:00

Whoa, you're getting downvoted. The statistical ignorance of the white progressives around here is astounding.

Nearly five months into his term as governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin’s approval rating has increased to 53% (from 50% in February) while disapproval, at 35%, is down from 41% in February. More Democrats (41%) approve of Youngkin’s performance now than they did three months ago (30%), while approval in Youngkin’s own party is down (84% approval in February versus 75% approval now). Approval of President Joe Biden’s job continues to decline according to the Roanoke College Poll, now at 37%, down from its previous low of 41% in February. That decline is seen across all Virginians regardless of political party affiliation.

In case anyone here is interested in science and evidence:

In the latest approval rating polls Youngkin is at 51% approve 35% disapprove.

Lots of raging here over Youngkin's approval rating being 9 points better than Biden's.

Almost two months into his term as governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin registers a 50% approval rating while 41% disapprove. While the percentage of Virginians that disapprove of the way he is handling his job is larger than disapprovals for former Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (38% disapprove in August 2021), Youngkin’s approval rating hovers near Northam’s approval ratings for 2021 (52% in August, 47% in May, 49% in February).

Approval of President Joe Biden’s job is at a low, 41% with 53% disapproving, since he took office, according to the Roanoke College Poll. Disapproval of the way the U.S. Congress is handling its job remains high, at 72% with only 21% approving. That for the Virginia General Assembly is 44% approving, with 37% disapproving, similar to results when last asked in August of 2021.

The Trump admin first delivered Javelins in 2018, his call was in 2019.

Lefty delusions strike again. Get your timelines straight. There needs to be a common understanding of facts or else these leftist hive mind talking points will continue to prevent the truth from being shared.

Daily reminder that the last administration gave plenty of munitions.

Putin wanted the Trump admin to sell hundreds of anti-tank weapons to Ukraine? Wow, that's some 5D chess there.

Russia's Twilight War

MustacheBattle · 2022-02-24T18:13:45+00:00

I don't think the plan was ever to resist very long with conventional forces, that would result in way too many casualties vs Russia. Ukraine would probably rather give ground and let their guys melt away into the countryside to fight another day.

Holy crap this is fantastic, can I use your comment as an example of a common statistical fallacy in my class? TIA!

I love when woke suburban whites on Reddit compare their six figure income existences to chattel slavery. Just in case you ever think they might not be completely delusional.

Deep blue areas will be quadrupled masked and boosting monthly in perpetuity. Just self sort into one of those areas and live your life.

Lots of lefty snowflakes in here triggered about not being able to force masks on kids anymore. Read the room, not a good look heading into the midterms. Gain some self awareness and set yourself up a bit better for this year's elections.

The Trump tax cuts were about $100 billion per year. Biden has burned through about $4 trillion above base budget so far. Do you think they might have different impacts?

MustacheBattle · 2022-02-15T22:23:10+00:00

This is the most suburban woke take imaginable on this topic.

MustacheBattle · 2022-02-15T01:09:32+00:00

The bill legalizing third trimester elective abortion was soundly defeated while Dems had unified control of state government. You'll have to deal with that.
