As far as US elected representatives go... she's basically the best right now. She goes after the Israel lobby somewhat frequently and seems generally opposed to US imperialism and warmongering

And just in case people need to be told, no this isn't an endorsement of all of her politics. If the question is is she a good politician..... in the US.... then the answer is yes. If the question is are there any good US politicians then the answer is no. I dunno, parse that one however you need to

Iirc, she's relatively good on Palestine, but fell for the Ukraine propaganda. Ultimately, well meaning, but still largely a lib.

Israel has hypnotized the world; may Allah awaken the people, and help them to see, the evildoing of Israel and the United States!

::: spoiler thoughts I don't really know, I haven't heard her spoken of in a while. I do know she spoke out against Israel from the start so that's better than like 95 (or more) percent of U.S. congress. She's also endorsed by DSA, though I don't know if that means much considering they still endorse AOC (though last I heard they were debating on whether or not to continue that).

She’s borderline NATO-leftist. Has some based takes but then falls for the Ukraine and Xinjiang propaganda.

I wish she would go Green Party and tell Dems to fuck off.

I'm in her district. I like her. I think there's reasonable criticisms to make of how much she's pushed against the right wing of the party, but I think she's still representing her constituency well and not getting pushed around by the party in the same way as, for example AOC.

rashida is probably the best congressperson, but ilhan is just ok

SMH

She got censured for saying Israel shouldn't exist at least

Unlike Cory Bush or Jamal Bowman, she’s safe enough in her district to be a waste of AIPAC money.
