youngkin running on critical race theory that he knew hit a chord around race. and it should be no surprise to democrats anymore that from trump and for decades that some republican candidates are perfectly willing to use race as a motivating factor for their base. that has gone on for decades and it happened this year in 2021. so what can democrats do? democrats need to start fighting these issues and i guarantee you that if terry mcauliffe had come out head on fighting glenn youngkin around this race issue, it would have motivated all those voters in the tide water region and in some of the rural areas where there are plenty of black voters to come to the polls and that did not happen. so when voters see that you're not going to fight for them, then they're not willing to fight for you.
