As usual, GET BETTER CANDIDATES.
Yes, the Dems suck. Their policies are horrible for the country. But, the Rs continue to choose terrible candidates in a lot of the areas.
You should not have had to this round. The country's law, economic, energy, fiscal, and foreign policies as configured in October 2022 should have been worth voting against, PERIOD. None of the details should have mattered.
And you can't "GET" better candidates. They have to exist. The next major system needs a way where the voters can directly express that wish, something like a "virtual generic candidate" idea for real. A check box or contract or something.
TERM LIMITS. Get the career ******bags out.
I know the Christians will never admit it, but the calls for Christian fundamentalism, and the demands the party platform be focused on religious and social issues, are actively pushing a population that is consistently becoming less religious away. You may not like it, but the Republicans being seen as the party of Christianity is not a positive.
Perhaps, but if you separate from what the board discusses, with candidates it came down to more like Youngkin's pushing against the transgressivism agenda, and that is not a loser. In fact, things are getting where the next kind of way fof dealing with it is becoming foreseeble. If you are talking about abortion, can agree with you where the scenarios seemed to include some further ban beyond what Dobbs did.
Quite willing to return to some kind of imposed `all religions co-exist' kind of scenario ala 90's ideals as a way of restoring the public space. But the Dems have a tendency to equate any moral limit in public sphere with some theocratic bent. Certain things should just be behind doors, period, for generation raising purposes.
