She’s from outside her own district. That’s the primary thing that shows her blatantly questionable goals. She lives in a challengeable district with a dem who should be taken out. And she chose to campaign in an entirely different one.
Yes, she’s very likely corrupt. She’s unemployed, runs a sketchy campaign with astroturfing and refuses to address in any AMAs why she’s moving to our district later and why she’s going straight for the highest seat in a district that isn’t hers.
Since when does temporary unemployment imply corruption?
It makes me question where she’s funding her lifestyle.
Her campaign seems almost entirely social media and local charity work.
That’s bad. Real world efforts are necessary. Giving campaign funds to charity is sketchy at best when you’re showing it off to pretend you’re morally superior
She’s campaigning in a district where she will replace an 80 year old retiring progressive
Irrelevant as the 80 year is retiring anyways.
She has 200,000 followers which seems to have grown over time with several prominent videos.
So? Genuinely hilarious how irrelevant this point is.
Not here to reduce a woman to her husband, just pointing out a cool fact and rock-solid evidence that she’s probably legit - she’s MARRIED TO THE CEO OF THE COMPANY THAT OWNS THE ONION?! The source of the Pultizer-worthy headline, " ’ No Way to Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens"?
I had not heard this. However, it will not change my viewpoint that she’s as this post demonstrates running an extremely questionable and too early campaign, as well as being an out of district plant by not even trying to have lived a real period of time in the district she’s planning to run in.
She lives in Chicago, is campaigning in Chicago
The vast majority of the district is out of Chicago. Also, she’s not campaigning in Chicago. She’s campaigning online.
By the way, anyone in the back: did you watch the goal posts move? Did you watch us move right along, without defending the first claims?
Any one of the points is enough to make her not worth voting for. Her being out of district alone is ridiculous. If she genuinely cared, she should be running for a district she actually lived in. You are blatantly ignoring how much an issue an out of district congressperson is. Pretending it doesn’t matter just because you like the vibes of the candidate. And it really is just that and nothing more, just vibes. She has zero lower experience in politics, no record, no evidence of capability.
Especially when she’s consistently astroturfing reddits, it makes me question where her actual in district relations are. If she even has any.
That’s BAD? Campaign financing is almost exclusively used for shit like billboards, TV ads, and wealthy silver spoon galas and you think it’s bad that she’s using hers for charity? What the fucking bad faith, Batman.
Yes. It’s buying votes. Giving people food sith the clear implication of asking them to vote for her.
Ohhh, you still give a shit about Reddit. Okay, now I understand the type of conversation this is. L, O, fucking, L.
So her astroturfing is irrelevant just because it’s on reddit. Ah, you’re that sort of person. I don’t even have reddit downloaded anymore; you’re making a bold assumption on that front.
Almost all congresmen have extremely blatantly obvious corruption and political bribery, and you’re just pulling absolute bad faith bullshit from thin air about how giving crowd-funded money to charity is a bad thing.
This is pure what aboutism. Seriously? You’re seriously pulling what aboutism?
The fact is she has a large social media presence that explains her funding, her campaign strategy, and her so-called “astroturfing”.
Yeah surely swarms of people saying only good things about her and drawing 5x more engagement on city specific subreddits than other posts is just people loving her.
I did not instantly make up bullshit about her husband. And additionally, “past jobs” are not important, past political experience is important.
It’s relevant when my current representative is not. She’s valued under a million dollars. You’re bringing in other reps corruption — when jan was, while too old, she was not some corrupt ass mfer.
That’s exactly how whataboutism works.
You’re completely ignoring that she still doesn’t live in district —instead of trying to contest a republican, or someone actually determinatal, she selected a safe seat to run, in a place she does not live, and never has. that alone is a major issue.
You are the type to see gangs providing people food and disaster relief and think “yeah, it’s purely good! We shouldn’t question it!”
No, I’m not terribly hung up on the location thing. I think they should absolutely be local, and she’s pretty goddamn close
She only just moved into the state less than a year ago…
Not caring about the location is for a different political system. In ours, location is important.
I think it’s entirely valid to run in a district when you clearly align with the values of that district.
What indicates that to you? You don’t live here, do you know the values of the area?
But you don’t, do you? You’re just asking questions.
I have provided explicit evidence in the form of largely out of state donations and not being in district as to show why she should not be elected in the district. As well as vote buying through using campaign funds in charity.
you don’t fucking have it.*
No, you just think it’s fine for someone who has not even lived in an area to represent them. That’s just a recipe for pure corruption. It means they won’t actually understand the values or wants of the areas. You are simply pretending it is fine because it suits your views best
