2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

I live in Virginia. Our shithead governor is one to watch out for. He’s absolutely trying to set himself up for a presidential run. He’s smart, he’s avoided the spotlight and hasn’t really tried all the stupid shit like desantis. He’s going to get revealed eventually as a front runner, if not this election than the next. He’s calm, coherent, and will appeal to independent voters that want ‘a normal republican president’. But make no mistake, he’s trying to do all the same bullshit here. He shutdown our path to recreational marijuana, he wants to pass a ban on abortions, he got himself elected by promising to go after all the school teachers teaching critical race theory (he even setup a tip line for people to report all these crt teachers, hasnt even been one instance, it was all bullshit).

Yogurt mcsweater vest is the kind of guy we need to be worried about. He’s just as much of a racist piece of shit as trump and co but he’s smart. It will take a strong democratic candidate to go up against a guy like that.
