Abigail Spanberger Pledges ‘Pragmatism’ — And Felon Voting Rights
Virginia's Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Abigail Spanberger Holds Election Night Party In Richmond

Abigail Spanberger, the Democratic governor-elect of Virginia, says she’ll govern as a pragmatic moderate — while pursuing a $15 minimum wage, constitutional protections for same-sex marriage and voting rights for felons.

Spanberger outlined her agenda in a Washington Post interview Monday, describing her approach as focused on “harder choices” and “understanding your mandate” after her 15-point victory in November. With Democrats holding expanded control of the state legislature, Spanberger plans to advance several progressive priorities when she takes office in January.

The agenda proposed by current Democratic legislative leaders and backed by Spanberger would echo the last period of unified Democratic control in 2020 and 2021, when the party abolished the death penalty, legalized recreational marijuana and passed legislation to reduce fossil fuel usage.

The felon voting rights proposal has been a Democratic priority for over a year. Virginia Democrats have pushed a constitutional amendment since November 2023 that would automatically restore voting rights to felons who complete their sentences.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

The election was Sears to lose and she did an outstanding job of that. WTF do you expect when you don't really start to campaign until a month before the election. we were virtually guaranteed to lose at least one of the houses, because of NoVa and Richmond. She should have been pout pounding the pavement from the gitgo, instead she was counting Younkin's coattails to slide her in.

I disagree, verga.
Sears wasn't going to be governor, not from the moment she got the nomination.

Looking back, even Youngkin was an anamoly.
Probably a one-election wonder.
I don't think we'll be hearing much from him again.

Virginia is a blue state now (notwithstanding all those folks down in the south and southwestern parts of the state). Northern Virginia rules the state as does New York City rule NY state.

Northern Virginia is too close to the District of Corruption to be anything but blue.  Maybe that part should be called gray. :whistle:
