    Not only that she’s likely a Republican funded plant. She’s trying to run in my district, but she doesn’t even live here yet, and she’s planning to run for our congressperson. It’s horrifying tbh and I’m going to help campaign against her

          You mentioned your post history elsewhere, so I had a look, and… nope. Your post history is largely unpleasant and tinged with bouts of xenophobia.

            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…

      What kind of anxiety do you have and how do I not get it?

      Have you done any research into her? She’s an influencer type who has been posting progressive content for a while.

        Anxiety? Yeah sure, someone who has never even lived in our district is trying to run being bad is anxiety.

        She’s an influencer type

        Yes, she’s influencer. That’s bad.faking your views is easy

          For example, you’re pretending that she’s a republican because you don’t like people to your left running. Or feeding the poor.

            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?

          She has a pretty well documented history of working in progressive media and pushing progressive points. If having conservative parents means someone is a conservative then my wife, myself and ALL of my progressive and liberal friends are faking it. Dang it.

            No, alone it doesn’t mean anything. However, when you consider the other factors, is what becomes suspicious

            I’d like to also add that on reddit she is known for astroturfing the evanston, Illinois, and cook county subreddits.

                I’ve had issues on some lemmies with edits not showing up. I was unsure exactly what caused the issue, so if it’s relevant I try not to just edit

            It is not remotely reasonable to run for districts you’ve never lived in. There’s no good politicians who do it.

              By that logic bet you think CO’s Lauren Boebert’s ® tenure is completely legit, then.

              Typical.

                    I said she’s likely one, and listed reasons. I did not state as a claim that she was.
