Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

What a cunt. Virginia really needs to split in two. The top 20% of the state geographically makes up the majority of its people and wealth. The rest is rednecks and dumb shits who get retards like this elected.
A LOT of republicans live in NoVA. All that sweet government and DoD money they want to keep flowing.
What are you smoking and why isn't it legal in Virginia?
State marijuana legislation has nothing to do with the flow of FedGov money into NoVa. The area owes its wealth to two factors:
Also, both DC and Maryland already have legalized marijuana and neither of them have been cut off from the FedGov money train.
Lastly, "Republicans in NoVa"? I'm sure there are dozens, but if you start driving West on I-66, you're going to reach the border of West Virginia before you hit a major enclave of Republicans.
This is a wild take.
Northern Virginia and Central MD are full of Republicans and Conservative Democrats.
Maryland, and especially its DC suburbs (analogues to NoVA) are time and again ranked as top places in the USA to live.
The person you’re responding to didn’t say half of what you’re arguing.
I-66 doesn’t go to West Virginia but to your point I’d say when you hit route 17 you’re 100% out of the NOVA blue zone until you hit Winchester again, but that’s just typical city demographics at play there.
You’re full of shit lol.
Remember: WV quit and went back to the union. "Nope actually we're northern"
Northern Virginia probably has more republicans than the rest of the state. The cities have the dems. Richmond, Hampton roads, college towns etc
Northern Virginia is basically one large urban sprawl.
It would only have more republicans by population density allowing it, but it still leans democrat.
Incorrect. Graph of size of victory, see that it's more red in the north.
Yeah looks more split east to west than north to south.
