Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I like Youngkin. However, I wish it wasn't legal to run for office if you're currently serving in a position that you were elected to when your current job wouldn't be over until after the next one starts. You made a commitment to serve in a particular role, you should honor it.
Funnily enough, I don't like Youngkin and there's no one the Republicans can run that isn't dog whistle milquetoast or Donald Trump. What they need to do is get in a time machine and change everything they have stood for over the 30 years.
Maybe if you know nothing about him because you don’t live in Virginia and he’s less crazy than Ron or Trump. Easy sign is, weed was voted legal here and he’s done everything in his power to prevent legal sales. Can’t even but delta-8 anymore.
I do live in Virginia. Have for 15 years. You can legally possess up to an ounce of weed in Virginia, not a fan of him blocking weed sales but that's not the only thing I vote about. Not saying he's perfect, I just prefer him over alternatives.
What do you like Youngkin for? What actually good has he done?
Well I liked his campaign and favored him over his opponent McAuliffe. Additionally I'm in favor of a lot of the bills that he's signed into law.
Education bills that I like:
HB 1526 (Coyner) and SB 1175 https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?231+sum+HB1526
HB 2225 (Batten) and SB 1253 (Dunnavant) https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?231+sum+HB2225
SB 1367 (Vogel) https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?ses=231&typ=bil&val=sb1367
Energy bills I like: HB 1643 (Kilgore) and SB 1121 (Hackworth) - https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?ses=231&typ=bil&val=HB1643
HB 1779 (O’Quinn) https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?ses=231&typ=bil&val=HB1779
HB 2178 (Morefield) https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?ses=231&typ=bil&val=HB2178
Public Safety laws I like:
