Wherever he is, I hope he’s doing good. I don’t remember if he was an open communist when he was in the Virginia legislature but probably the least lib politician in America in a generation. Seemed like a pretty genuine dude, too. Feels like he dropped out of politics and has been pretty quiet since.

Met him a few times, he’s a real good guy. Life in Virginia politics was hard on him, though he did flip a seat from a Republican and get reelected in a swing district. I think his run for Virginia governor was his way of getting out gracefully.

Not sure of he’ll get back into politics. I wouldn’t blame him, but the US needs more guys like him in power
