Republican Winsome Earle-Sears is on the defensive in Virginia’s race for governor

Never underestimate the Democrats’ ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I spend a lot of time in leftist circles (various groups) and enthusiasm for Spanberger is pretty low between her very centrist campaign and her bragging about her ties to law enforcement and the CIA. My own view is that harm reduction…any harm reduction at all…is never a bad thing even if I don’t like her positions on other issues. She’ll be a welcome relief on abortion, LGBTQ rights, book bans, public education, gun control, and some other issues even if she has to be pushed on data centers/climate issues and police. I get that we all hate having to hold our noses and vote for the lesser of two problematic candidates but I never understood sitting on the sidelines and waiting around for some mythical progressive savior to descend from the heavens, as DSA tends to do.
