    Isn’t it strange that these kind of posts only seem to start to appear about half a year before an election in the USA?

      Isn’t it stranger that these watered down republican politicians appear on democratic tickets at all?

        And is generally off to a pretty poor start, she is more of a centerist that a lot of progressives would like and with the gun law restrictions has already managed to piss off the 2A crowd (not like they were going to vote for her anyway). Overall, barring her event handling skills (see: disasters, hurricane season which we have yet too see), I dont see her policies wooing anyone new, I sorta expect her to be a 1-term gov.

          You should expect almost every governor of Virginia to be a “1-term gov” since article V of the Constitution of Virginia only allows for non consecutive terms. Reelection to the office has only happened twice. The last former governor to seek a second term was Terry McAuliffe, who lost the election to Youngkin in 2021.

      You’re worried their PR before an election more than them continuously, predictably fucking over their constituency again and again, huh?
