Unhinged is extremely racist, please be careful when you describe a black woman and how she speaks.

Ha!!! I am a black woman!! Yes, she is unhinged. I said it again. My black friends and my mother agree.

But it was glorious. Sears was having fun, Spanberger looked like she wanted to hide.

The moderators were really good.

The moderators completely lost control. They get a D-.

Did she say: “I’m speaking!!!”

Sears said firing people for being gay wasn't discrimination. She also said legal weed would cause things to blow up.

It wasn't just the constant interrupting, the actual things she said were either insane or abhorrent.

Sears is a brain dead moron.

Republicans hate black women they are racist to the core.

There is no way she gets elected in VA. MAGA is not voting for a black woman.

Only DCUM thinks that shit will happen.

By the way where are her policies besides bathrooms?

She supports nuclear power to help solve Virginia's energy problems. Spanberger could only talk about money she felt was owed to Virginia by the feds.

I believe Spanberger wants to leave it up to the individual school districts to decide. That's a fairly terrible compromise position.

I think that is a decent option. Better than an all or nothing approach.

My vote might come down to this - last year, the VA legislature voted to get rid of the college tuition waiver for 100% disabled veterans, Gold Star families, and the families of fallen law enforcement and first responders. My local Democratic legislators were immovable and did not care; they wanted to use the money to provide financial aid for immigrants (yes, really). Youngkin and Earle-Sears intervened to save it. I am relying on it and don’t trust it will continue to exist if Spanberger is elected.

It means policy hinges on the whims of the school board and can change month to month.

Agree; her performance was downright cringy tonight.

No. This is a state funded program and OOS families were applying for it to attend Virginia public colleges. It’s not a federal program. The program was also extended for any higher ed, not just undergraduate. So the money RAN out in a few short years because word got around with veterans in other states that their kids could also qualify for Virginia’s program if they attended a Virginia public university.

This is why we can’t have nice things. Because it was abused by OOS people. It’s not federally funded. Why should my tax dollars go to pay the tuition of a kid from California or Texas or Iowa to go to UVA or VCU or George Mason under this program. The program as it is now is not sustainable. What was proposed was 1) each applicant must exhaust financial aid options (like fill out a FASFA and apply for federal student aid, is that too much to ask), 2) only fund undergrad, and 3) be for Virginia resident kids.

Seriously, stop making up propaganda. Get your own state to start a similar program. All the money budgeted for our program is now gone.

I feel exactly the same way. Not going to vote for Spanberger for this reason.
