Will the real Abigail Spanberger please stand up, please stand up, please stand up?

This is what Democrats do when they get elected; they forget who put them there, and try to reach out to the other side.

Predictable reaction from the other side to Spanberger reaching out: they’re still calling her a commie.

Why do we do this?
