She's not to my left... Lmfao. I'm about equal to her stated viewpoints. Albeit more radical on environmental.

. Or feeding the poor.

Oh wow, I don't like buying votes. Jeez, who would've thought?

You obviously have the time. Look at your involvement in this thread.

I'm on vacation fight now, man. Flat out, I cannot run for the position. 25 years of age is the minimum requirement.

All of your complaints are covered in her many many materials

No. My primary complaint about her being out of district is covered by no serious answer.

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.

with someone who spends more money on the poor than on advertising?

Interesting way to phrase vote buying.

Your objections seem really really weak.

She hasn't even lived nearby for a year yet. Not living inside isn't some small objection, it's a major issue.

using social media effectively to gain popularity

Influencer personality with no substance to back it up. She could start at a local level and work her way up. Jumping to the top with no experience is how you get an ineffective politician who's incapable.

Were you or one of your friends hoping to stand or something?

No.

You seem to be accusing her of being suspicious because she's doing things you think are unfairly popular

No? Her policies have little to do with why she's an issue. I'm accusing her of being suspicious because she's acting too fast and without proven history, in an area she's never lived in. She doesn't know what the area actually needs.

It only takes a quick glance at her platform to see

Despite what the right may have told you, the Green New Deal is not some woke scam to ban beef farming or take away your old Corvette.

She doesn't exactly understand the area in the first place. She's campaigning to a population that is centrist. When the area is straight blue, it's pure condescending

Almost her entire campaign is the boilerplate minimum it takes to get elected in the area.

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

Genuinely, what? Xenophobia? Clear tell that you did not even slightly look at my post history and are making shit up. Either that, or you think my anti china stance on the basis of their authoritarianism is xenophobia...

If she genuinely wanted to help, I don't believe the district in question was a good target. She basically chose a well held district with an uncorrupt representative and said "I'm going for this one" instead of a more corrupt or issue politician

Astroturfing would not leave as many comments as I am under one account. It would use a variety. You can easily search my username and see I have a very long history of using it, that should be sufficient proof to show I'm not an astroturfing person

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!"

I've never heard of it, but a quick glance shows it was around before I got involved.

Also, it seems to be completely irrelevant. There is no front runner at this time, the race hasn't even started yet and there is no incumbent.

I'm simply mad that an out of district candidate is trying to plant themselves into my district without so much as pretending to be in the district beforehand. She isn't trying to really connect with the community, she's just leveraging her influencer vibes to gather support with no proven record.

Influencers becoming politicians is rarely something that works out.

If she had made an effort to move here, put in routes and actually get involved with the community instead of just saying shit online, my opinion on her would be different.
