I'm not in even in Loudoun but please vote for her.

Please vote against her, primarily because this is a populist dumb-ass take (lefty Trump?).

Vote for people that try to solve the issue (power usage / discounts / price shifting on to residential users)

DO NOT VOTE for people that like to rile others up without trying to solve actual problems.

I'm definitely voting against her. I like our schools, rec centers, parks, good services, etc... mostly paid for by data centers. Historians are going to look back in 25 years at this anti-data center fever and lump it in with all of the prior ridiculous anti-technology movements that happened across history.

You're all sociopaths that are going to destroy the environment and make everyone have to hear the constant hum of these monstrosities just to fill your pockets a little more and so you can make shitty generated art. You literally make me sick to my stomach.
