        i follow her, she’s awesome and I really hope she wins.

        but it would be false to claim her youth and aesthetic don’t help her charisma.

        it does, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t serious or competent.

        Hope she wins, we need her and people like her.

            She obviously pays attention to the community, she got thrown to the ground and got hit in the face doing so.

              Literally no. She cares about immigrants. She doesn’t care about the community specifically, at all. And doesn’t even care enough to live there. We don’t need to go from someone who responds to the community to someone who doesn’t even care to check the communities needs before doing unnecessary giveaways

                  I don’t like her as a politician for 3 main reasons: performative giveaways, where she gives away what is already provided and pretends her being in charge will allow these things to be provided, which they already are. It shows she doesn’t really care about learning about her community, and instead just prefers to virtue signal.

                  She is running a campaign without living in the area, with majority of donations from outside the area. Influencer first politician second is a red flag, and especially considering she’s showed bo willingness to actually move into the area despite repeated claims she will shows she’s already lying, not a good sign.

                  And the third is that despite living in a leas leftist area with someone who deserves to be contested more/not already solidly leftish politics, she decided to run in the district she does not live in.

                  Going straight to higher office without attempting to gain practice or build up a “resume” in lower office is questionable as well, but less so than the rest.

                  there is no shortage of people as left as her running in the district to vote for, who do not have nearly as many red flags.

                    So no policies you disagree with and she faces jail for trying to protect people in the community she’s running for, which I believe you acknowledged in these replies. (You did mention the citizenship status of the people you think she does this for, for some reason though) Sounds fine to me, you go vote for someone else, sure, but I will prefer someone who’s also willing to endure violence and legal consequences to protect anyone in your community.

            doesn’t really hurt her. just bigots will insult her for being pretty, or if she wasn’t, they would insult her for not being pretty. they’ll always use misogyny against any woman who’s against them.

              You don’t think being a young woman has ANY negative affect on being elected in the USA?
