What are her policies you disagree with?
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.
"Immigrant" is not a citizenship status. Green card, visa, undocumented, citizen, are citizenship statuses.
... Do you think she's the only one who's done this? Like honest to god? Because, to be clear, she is not. Off the top of my head biss as well, though I probably won't be heading to him in the primary. You don't understand the district, which is why you think she's the only one like that
You will find the same list of issues on damn near every dem candidate in the district. Her policies are not special here. They're not different. They're the baseline norm
Don't play fucking stupid, you know what I mean and I'm not an english speaker. Are you dense, I already said I don't care if you don't want to vote for her, I just think you have a really big fucking rage about her for a very fucking petty reason, leading me to believe there's some underlying motivation for having a grudge. Or you're just an asshole, who's petulent because you haven't done anything in your life and vent that rage by insulting a woman who's been beaten up in your district, congrats. She's not gonna throw you off a roof because of her last name by the way, just to be clear.
Quite literally, the reason is stated. She doesn't live in the area.
I am not a racist despite your rabid accusations
You not speaking English seems to be very related to your lack of understanding
