That sounds stupid. If you want to get people to stop electing elderly candidates, then set a maximum age restriction, like the minimum age restrictions we already have on the books. We should never take away people's representation as a half-baked "punishment."

What if when you die your seat isn't filled until the next normal election time? Dying means your party loses a vote. I feel like that'd end up with fewer old people in congress.

No need to worry, I think it simply will not grow at those extreme levels.

You have to be going 20+ over the speed limit to get a reckless here. That’s obnoxious, and definitely warrants jail time in some circumstances.

I think parts of the fan are already there, the bartender at the cool restaurant you like to go to can’t also live in the neighborhood anymore

Or it could mean that Bagby supporters don’t post as much as Rodgers supporters.
The vocal minority skews perceptions when the majority does not speak up.

Reply to Anyone else have a weirdly aggressive run in with the guard dude(s?) outside of the Daughters of the Confederacy building? by -LadyofShalott-
One of my coworkers was chased across the lawn by them and, more recently, a lady-in her 70s-that I sometimes work with was yelled at.

I think it’s a bit ironic that you say “don’t litter or be a petty criminal if you want to accomplish anything” when
A. Talking about confederate terrorist sympathizers.
B. We could ONLY make progress in similar areas like removing racist statues by ripping them down ourselves whilst in violent clashes with police.

/r/rva is far more representative of people in the city of Richmond proper than anywhere else, from what I've found. A lot of the Rodgers supporters on here probably couldn't vote today because they weren't in the relevant district.

It's special elections all the way down.
(But technically, a challenger could still beat him in the actual election for SD-09. It won't happen, but still.)

I thought Dawn Adams would get blown away. But Rogers actually really underperformed, look at all the support for her here on Reddit.
Of course another example that one shouldn't take online too seriously

Wait, so now do we have a special election for his seat (after the general election next month)?

IDK, it seems pretty expected to me.
If you look at Bagby's district versus Adams' district versus the district of SD-09 that was up for grabs, you'll see that Adams' barely overlaps it, while Bagby's very much does. Rodgers has some name recognition because of the mayoral race, but so much of the district is outside of Richmond's city limits, where she's more of a no-name.
I would have been surprised to see a close result.

I have no idea what they're worth. They're in great condition, no rust, no chips. A single 10 pound weight is listed at $22 on ebay, a pair of 2.5s is $15, those don't include the bar. Can't remember what I spent on them, is $120 fair for everything?

She is an outsider compared to Bagby.
