Virginia Elections-- Early Voting Is... Now-- Will Trump Toxicity Help Flip Both Houses?
*Most bigoted smear campaign of the year in being run by Republican Richard Stuart (l) against Qasim Rashid (r)* *-by Fergie Reid, Jr.* As November 5th-- Election Day-- approaches in Virginia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Louisiana, and New Jersey, Virginia Democrats can flip their General Assembly by re-electing all of their (D) House and Senate incumbents, and by winning a minimum of 2 Republican HDs and 1 Republican Senate district. But, we don’t want "minimums"; we’re playing for "maximums," right? Virginia Dems are challenging 43 GOP delegates and 17 GOP senators. The "really smart... more »

On Machiavelli’s Republicanism
Once a republic falls, it’s lost forever. This is because the strength of a republic comes from the morality of its citizens and once the citizens become morally corrupted, it’s impossible for them to be moral again. Niccolò Machiavelli makes this point in his work, the *Discourses on Livy*. He points out that while a republic is created by the politicians (he uses the word, “Princes”), it’s the citizens who maintain it because they are more moral and trustworthy than the ruling class. In times of danger, there is greater stability and courage in the citizens than in the ruling clas... more »
