I think it hurts AOC more than it hurts Kat, and I can’t put my finger on why. Both are attractive and intelligent small women with a “young” look, but I think AOC has to fight a little harder to come off as a “serious adult”. Maybe it’s ethnicity, but I don’t think that quite accounts for it. Might be just me.
doesn’t really hurt her. just bigots will insult her for being pretty, or if she wasn’t, they would insult her for not being pretty. they’ll always use misogyny against any woman who’s against them.
Literally no. She cares about immigrants. She doesn’t care about the community specifically, at all. And doesn’t even care enough to live there. We don’t need to go from someone who responds to the community to someone who doesn’t even care to check the communities needs before doing unnecessary giveaways
hello, are you aware that immigrants are part of the community? ones who are being kidnapped by the state? which she is fighting? maybe it is you who isn’t paying attention to the community.
you outed yourself as a racist, by “community” do you mean white people only?
Community as in the actual future of the community itself, not just the larger socioeconomic underlying issues. Immigrants are part of the community, but they are not the only part of the community. She focuses on charity saviorism, without regard to actual distribution of need, which is not something good for a politician to have.
you even acknowledge that those issues are “larger socioeconomic underlying issues”. you are sad that she isn’t paying attention directly to you? you want her to make you feel special by ignoring when your community gets kidnapped?
…racist. no, I’m saying that she’s trying to buy votes by doing giveaways of materials already supplied by school districts. She’s performative. She won’t even move to the area, instead staying in chicago.
I can have legitimate criticisms against someone who’s anti ice without being pro ice. The fact that you can’t understand that is shocking. She does not care about the community. The community is not just immigrants, it’s everyone interacting, going to school, etc. and she doesn’t care about all of that
I love how you’re intentionally ignoring what I’m saying to pretend I’m racist. No, I’m not saying it’s good for ice to kidnap people . I’m saying we already care and she pretends we don’t .the community is not only, it includes them as well as others
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.
You did mention the citizenship status of the people you think she does this for, for some reason though)
“Immigrant” is not a citizenship status. Green card, visa, undocumented, citizen, are citizenship statuses.
I will prefer someone who’s also willing to endure violence and legal consequences to protect anyone in your community.
… 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
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.
Kat made a post on Bluesky once where she showed a tweet by a Republican who was asking people to “stop posting photos of [Kat] when they attack her because she’s genuinely attractive and that makes the attack not land” or something along those lines. I wish I’d saved it. It was a solid self-burn.
That Republican was basically afraid that Kat would steal male GOP votes simply by looking good lol
And of Palestinian descent. Even if for really dubious reasons, humanizing Palestinians and extending any shred of support is a no-go in certain circles.
I mean, it kinda does. The fact that she is young, attractive, and media savvy means that people will pay more attention to her (not saying that’s good, just that it’s how our society works). The more attention she gets, the more of a threat she is to the regime, which is why the they’re trying to prosecute her for getting assaulted by ICE.
Her appearance has nothing to do with this.
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.
helps and hurts. wish I was in her geography as I would vote for her.
I think it hurts AOC more than it hurts Kat, and I can’t put my finger on why.

You don’t think being a young woman has ANY negative affect on being elected in the USA?
i meant that conservatives are going to hate her no matter what.
She could be a 60 year old grandma, and they’ll use that against her.
if course she has an uphill battle.
Some of them may even be republicans.
She should not win. My district is not lacking in leftists, and deserves someone who lives in and actually pays attention to the community.
She obviously pays attention to the community, she got thrown to the ground and got hit in the face doing so.
Literally no. She cares about immigrants. She doesn’t care about the community specifically, at all. And doesn’t even care enough to live there. We don’t need to go from someone who responds to the community to someone who doesn’t even care to check the communities needs before doing unnecessary giveaways
That explains it, “She cares about immigrants”

God you are racist
you even acknowledge that those issues are “larger socioeconomic underlying issues”. you are sad that she isn’t paying attention directly to you? you want her to make you feel special by ignoring when your community gets kidnapped?

The people who cook your food and build your houses and live in your neighborhood are not the community. Hmmm
I love how you’re intentionally ignoring what I’m saying to pretend I’m racist. No, I’m not saying it’s good for ice to kidnap people . I’m saying we already care and she pretends we don’t .the community is not only, it includes them as well as others

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
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.
Got any sources that ain’t your local fox “news”?
i love that any type of backlash someone gives your automatically a fox news subscriber lol.
Influencer politics clearly works on liberals too …
of course.
I don’t watch fox news. Her giveaways of backpacks and school supplies were fully supplied in Evanston already.

She is cute af on that real though
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 mean, it kinda does. The fact that she is young, attractive, and media savvy means that people will pay more attention to her (not saying that’s good, just that it’s how our society works). The more attention she gets, the more of a threat she is to the regime, which is why the they’re trying to prosecute her for getting assaulted by ICE.
Aren’t you a smart one
You haven’t been paying attention to the Republicans have you.
