The debt bill under consideration is a suspension until Dec 2022. They want Republicans to give Democrats a blank check on spending.

If you're no longer in the state, you may be less familiar with the fun stuff pushed by local Democrats in VA over the past two years that is pushing many long-time Democratic voters to vote for Youngkin this fall. The level of performative nonsense + utter hypocrisy is over the top.

Tax on plastic bags is being proposed again in Loudoun, and will likely be statewide if McAuliffe and Ds win.

And then both parties of whacky fringe players that are more interested in scoring re-tweets on fringe issues than making a difference.

+1000 So much this.

I remember you people from the Bush-Gore election and you completely ratf(cked the world by not voting or voting for Nader. Miss me with this.

Wow. You might as well start blaming ancestors for voting for Washington or Jefferson back in the day, Grandpa.

The debt ceiling is inadequate to account for spending under the last administration let alone anything Biden has or will do.

There are many, but they get checked by their voters. Standing against climate change means gas prices of $8 a gallon. Biden has already sent them over $3, but the goal is to get gas prices to the level of Europe, as Obama's Energy Secretary said.
Also energy bills will go much higher. Some states are already over 30c a kilowatt-hour, while other states without these renewable energy mandates, it is just 10c.

I am fine with limiting use of plastic but I am also old enough to remember that the reason stores shifted from paper to plastic was to limit use of paper because of the demand on trees. I am being serious. So when you yell at my mother for using plastic because she hates the environment, and she rolls her 80 year old eyes, it is because 30 years ago she changed from paper to plastic because she was told it was the best choice for the environment. Now you want to charge her to use a bag you told her to use.

Senate Republicans won’t even talk about a Manchin-backed voting rights bill. In 2006, Republicans fully supported reauthorizing the Voting Rights Act. How far they’ve fallen.

Trimp supporters staged a violent insurrection to keep votes from being counted and Youngkin supports trump, repeats the lie, doesn’t condemn his supporters spreading the lie and pledging on a flag used at the insurrection.

But you want to register disapproval with Democrats by voting for Youngkin!

Remember what the R general assembly tried to do when it had power? Transvaginal ultrasounds! The house is very close to flipping Republican again. We need a veto for the extremist crap.

+1

And this isn't a Hogan or Romney Republican. This is a bassackwards, Trump-supporting, evangelical Republican.

I wish Rs didn't fall into the fake controversy over CRT and I support transstudents rights. But VA public schools are messed up and the mask mandate needs to be lifted on kids. The CDC has jumped the shark with the latest statements about masking even after kids are vaccinated. Rates are low and vaccines are imminent, governors need to start announcing off-ramp plans now. I have zero confidence in McAuliffe on these issues.

The only way things will change is if you vote R to send a message of dissatisfaction. I’m like you. That’s what I’m doing. I’m sick of reasonable people like me being taken for granted as democratic votes.

So...you're voting for a Trumper because of...masks? I find that hard to believe.

Isn’t Youngkin self-funding millions for his campaign from his earnings at carlyle that came from shutting down businesses, laying off workers and pushing shady dental procedures on children?

If tmac didn’t start messing with schools he would’ve cruised to victory.

You can perhaps isolate and try to mess with tj, trans, and crt invidually…not all three at the same time.

McAuliffe is also way ahead in number of donors, because more of his in-state donations are coming from smaller individual donations, while Youngkin is getting fewer donations but they’re coming from more big-money interests. Wealthy people may be able to donate more, but they still only get to vote once.

What school system are you in that isn’t seeing Covid cases in schools?

You are so out of touch with reality, I don't even know where to start....
