McAuliffe's comms team said this should be disqualifying so I can only assume if it discovered these individuals are associated with that campaign or VA Democrats that McAuliffe will voluntarily be dropping out of the race.
At least 2 of the individuals have already seemingly been identified as associated with @vademocrats and subsequently locked their accounts. Will the @TerryMcAuliffe staffers that claimed this was disqualifying condemn it and apologize?

@christinafreund? @jengoodman75?
Trying to collect all the large media and political accounts that promoted this obvious stunt as if it was real. Here are some. Please share those I may have missed.
Just for keeping track...
And there it is...

Hahahaha

My family is from the USSR. The shared poverty doesn't seem like a big deal when that's all you've ever known, but no one that has experienced freedom and prosperity has any interest in going back.
It's easy for people that never actually experienced daily life there to suggest it was great. People found ways to survive and enjoy life (as most people do in poverty), but that doesn't mean that anyone would sign back up for it when they have the opportunity at much better.
Yes. The argument is essentially that shared misery brings people together more than liberty and prosperity so that's preferable.

Sorry, I'll take freedom and prosperity over spending a few extra hours suffering together with neighbors.

I get that a lot of people think like this, but it's a really ignorant way to look at the world. I don't determine whether an idea/policy is good or bad based solely on who promotes/enacts it.
This has actually been a real problem with politics lately. Just look at how opinions on the left and right shifted during Trump. The border fence was a widely popular bipartisan idea until it got tied to Trump. The right hated tariffs until Trump enacted them. etc. etc.
The other trend in politics that I hate is the idea that if you prove a problem exists then it immediately justifies your proposed solution.

Climate change (AGW) is real so we must do the green new deal. Student loan debt is out of control so we must do loan forgiveness. etc.

Closer to electing Dems to own Republicans that won’t invent an imaginary reality to soothe one politician’s ego.
One thing I don’t get is ignoring results. I had someone say yesterday that we need Trump to fight against Marxists. Marxists have more power right now than any time in history. There is one literally in charge of the budget in the Senate. Maybe current strategy isn’t working?
Dems are floundering. The current administration is running from one self-created crisis to the next. Voters want a check on Democrats. The only threat to Republicans being able to take back the House in 2020 and providing that check is coming from the former leader of the Party.

Biden came into office with an incredible advantage because he was constantly being compared against his predecessor, who a majority of Americans simply did not like. His disastrous performance on almost every major issue has somehow completely squandered that advantage.
Biden was elected to be not-Trump. That was his mandate. Especially when he ran as the most moderate Dem and has a bare majority in the House and tied Senate. He instead decided to orient his whole domestic agenda around the far-left and spurred on several crises on FP.
No one forced him to do any of this. The crisis at the border was created by him pandering to the far-left. The crisis in Afghanistan was self-created. No one forced Dems to put a socialist in charge of their budget process and take a purely partisan approach to legislating.

Don't worry. I'm sure the same people wouldn't keep ignoring the consequences of their policy proposals. Anyways, Chris Hayes tells me that spending trillions more we don't have is a fake concern and will have no consequences.
Common with almost all of the far-left's policy proposals: substantial deficit spending, "free" healthcare, student loan forgiveness, $15/H min wage, GND, high corporate tax rates etc.

They all have obvious & very harmful consequences that proponents insist aren't real.
And instead, they insist the problem they create were unpredictable and can only be solved by more of the same.

Gov't subsidizes student loans --> tuition rates astronomically skyrocket --> Let's just do loan forgiveness!

Our society has incentivized all the wrong behavior. He had a bad 2 min interaction with someone and his first thought is to try to make it go viral, track the person down, and get them fired from their job.
You can barely tell what happened from that video, but because the guy has 100k followers and made an accusation, the other side won’t even matter. The girl has already been fired.

This type of mob justice will get abused repeatedly and incentivized all the wrong behavior.
The only way this ends is if it stops getting rewarded and those who feel entitled to harass and ruin someone’s life with a social media mob because of a bad 30 second interaction are the ones that actually face some consequences.
