Stoney is losing mayoral race badly in every District to @kimgray4rva in whose District are the Monuments. She co-chaired Monument Ave Commission, which conducted a thoughtful methodical process recommended remove Davis, add HISORY/context & ADD HISTORY of African Americans.
This issue which had been settled with CONSENSUS, Stoney brings back now in a desperate act trying to resurrect his currently losing campaign. Division as a political tactic.
@LevarStoney is the #RVA version of Donald Trump. This moment young black males walked across my street openly smoking reefers as they stride. This is an abject abdication of responsibility by this mayor. This #RVAMayor is lawless, in desperation enforcing no laws to gain votes.
@MargaretHoover I'm a great fan of you & @JohnAvlon, but you should not buy the attack ads of losing Dem candidates. I'm a Democrat. Here are #facts on the ground in #Virginia CRT is sold as something it is not. #FactsMatter It is pernicious, destructive,toxic, and more. @Acosta
RePass fails to grasp the Third Way, the rational center that has always been the place where consensus, the essence of governance, can be achieved. @HillaryClinton is far from wrong. That policy of the 90s is precisely what brought a decade of global peace, prosperity, progress.
He misunderstands the center, where liberal ideas can actually be implemented, where center-right, center-left can find common ground. Compromise, consensus are required to pass legislation. A far left agenda cannot gain required support, must not be rammed through by one party.
While I differ with RePass' misunderstanding of the power of the center in politics, I sure do like his #Math The accuracy of his models in 2020 was superb, within less than 2 %. How did they do in 2016 when so many models were off?
@DavidBrooks@CapehartJ the massive PARTISAN -Dems only- bills filled with hidden #PelosiPoisonPills like the PRO act without the name, $200Million Pelosi fave SFO Golf Park, $275BillionSALT, 2nd largest cost -were terrible ideas if you know anything about organizational dynamics
@davidbrooks@CapehartJ A course on successful commercialization of new products told how a nonskid mat for boat decks success depended on giving everyone whose help you need OWNERSHIP in the project. One group in manufacturing wanted to dye it fluorscent orange, to see in dark stormy seas. They did.
@davidbrooks@CapehartJ They got the mat to market on time. With all parties involved and with OWNERSHIP, cooperation is much easier to get. The faulty business model of Pelosi Schumer- don't let Republicans see the text till we tell them to vote for it -is doomed to failure- and poisons the well.
It is wrong on #facts -there's no 1 gene for race, but there are sets of genes that characterize different groups, races. It's just #DNA it's not political. hannah-jones misunderstood the genome science
It's pernicious in its indoctrination of children. @RTDNEWS "Whiteness is evil" is one central "truth" being indoctrinated into children. White children are forced to stand up, confess "I am white. I am privileged. I am an oppressor." 6 yo asks "Mommy, am I evil? I'm white." #RVA
@StephenAtHome Sorry but YOU need to know what #CRT is really about. It is NOT teaching "real history" of race. Marxist in premise & praxis, it teaches whiteness is evil, makes white children stand up & confess "I am white, I am privileged, I am an oppressor" & blacks can't learn
@JoeBiden YOU won Dem primary. YOU won election as POTUS #BernieIsARussianAsset who wants to make you fail which benefits only Putin. Pelosi dishonest legislation is why more Senators than Sinema & Manchin don't want to support it. Both represent egregious government overreach.
@JoeBiden YOU ran on overcoming divisions, seeking BIPARTISAN approach but that WAS DELIBERATELY NOT DONE by MY-WAY-ONLY @SpeakerPelosi with massive kitchen sink bills with her #POISONPILLS NEVER tries to include Rs, worsening partisanship. NO Pure partisan bills will pass.
I've rethought this and can explain what the problem is in terms of business practices. I think @SenSchumer will get that. @SpeakerPelosi may too. @JoeBiden. We need a different business model to pass bipartisan legislation, if Congress Dems actually WANT to do that. @SenateDems
