    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

                What you believe you have is implicit evidence of corruption. Not explicit. And you just. Don’t. Have it.

                I feel like you’re failing to understand that my annoyance at her not living in district is not the same issue, though it is a contributing factor, in why I think she’s likely corrupt.

                I do think it’s fine for someone to represent anyone from any area - as long as they can convince the people from that area to vote for them

                A complete difference in foundational thought of what makes someone a good fit for an area will go no where in discussion.

                if you didn’t bob and weave through so many layers of random accusations and bullshit to get here

                My point on her being out of district was from the start.
