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.

Years ago when I went to NOVACC i was told I don't get financial aid because it "goes to poorer immigrants first" said this to my face I will not ever forget that. It took me more than a decade to pay for my college education taking just a few classes at a time not to go into debt. It still hurts me to this day.

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

You people are so shortsighted. Read the post above yours. and turn on your brain.

FFS the voting public is so stupid.

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.

Good for you but you're missing the point she changed her position on two key points she was running on! She's a flip flopper.

Why does the military need more college funding when they already get free tuition through the federal government? If in rotc you get it twice. Once for you and once for your kid. What keeps happening is people keep proposing more give aways for the military. This wasn't something the Democrats took away. They just didn't agree to yet another freebie request that is already covered by another branch of government.

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

I really dont want weed around. Is this really something we have to decide if we want changed? Why? Just leave the laws on weed alone.

The voters legalized weed by referendum. All Youngkin has done with his foot dragging is cost Virginia tax revenue from it. You don't have to like weed to realize that leaving the system unfinished so the state can't get revenue is massively stupid.

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.

Spanberger complimented Youngkin on moving toward nuclear energy.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MAGA has completely taken over this website. I mean, the comments on this debate are ridiculous. Sears was unhinged, rude, combative, constantly interrupting, etc. She came across as a lunatic. Spanberger didn’t do great but, that’s definitely true, but Sears? Wow.[/quote]

Yup. The malignancy has spread. Jeff should block all of these nut jobs.

Then he also needs to block the crazy bot that posts over and over and over about the Big Lie, attacking people, bending over for Trump, Republican shits, if you vote for a Republican you’re not an American, etc.

That was embarassing to watch with my teenager daughter.

Call me old fashioned but it's beneath a political candidate to interrupt her opponent every single time she speaks. But I was already voting for Spanberger

Earle-Sears is a religious nut who wants to get rid of gay marriage. She’s not mentally competent to hold office.

Abigail was preachy and couldn’t expand on her positions beyond her campaign TV ad talking points. Like a kid in class who is amazing at memorization but can’t actually critically think on the spot once asked something that wasn’t memorized. You could see her stimming when the camera panned out.

However - that all plays well with the NOVA crowd because they see themselves in her (wonky anxious striver).
