Her appearance has nothing to do with this.

To her opponents, appearance is basically the whole of her worth.

They understand in the current media environment that attention is power and attractive people get attention

i follow her, she’s awesome and I really hope she wins.

but it would be false to claim her youth and aesthetic don’t help her charisma.

it does, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t serious or competent.

Hope she wins, we need her and people like her.

She should not win. My district is not lacking in leftists, and deserves someone who lives in and actually pays attention to the community.
Show thread🍉 Albert 🍉Oct 30

instead of raising money for ads, she is using it to feed the people in her district.

if that isn’t something who pays attention to the community, I don’t know what you want

Show threadFredthefishlordOct 30
No, she doesn’t pay attention. She did free give aways for things already fully provided to those in need. That’s not paying attention, not doing research.

Yes, she’s been at the ICE facility constantly for a while now. She was the woman where video was captured of an ICE agent picking her up and slamming her down on the ground.
