Current Events > Great news for Virginia! Abigail Spanberger is running for governor

(+) Yeah! (+)

She is a fantastic congresswoman and she will make an even better governor. About as good as the Democrats can get in the state of Virginia.

I'm a former CIA case officer

I honestly really like her and I think she'd make a great Governor but she better be prepared for weirdos to use this as a major line of attack against her.

It's kind of a bad thing....like are progressives and leftists supposed to like the CIA? Is disliking one of the most unaccountable and anti-democratic institutions and people who voluntarily served it unreasonable?

Not that I won't vote for her if she's the option to get rid of Youngkin, but come on.

Being a CIA agent is maybe the most immoral job a person is legally allowed to work.

She's a shitty centrist, I'm not really a fan, but maybe it is the best Virginia can do, and its better to get her out of congress.

And yeah, bragging about being in the CIA is like bragging about being in the mafia. There is no American organization that sucks more.

Unlike most states, Virginia doesnt permit anyone from serving consecutive terms as governor. So Youngkin is not on the ballot.

It's a similar situation to when a new judge (not supreme court, I mean at the magistrate or district level) is appointed. If you look into their history and find out they're a former prosecutor, it's a sign that people are in for some unfairly harsh rulings.
