    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”

      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.

          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?

            …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

              the fact that you don’t care your neighbours are being kidnapped, and you’re only complaint is that she’s from Chicago is the reason why you’re racist.

              you have no legitimate complaint

                I do care. You’re pulling my lack of care just because I’m criticizing her for legit reasons . And no, of my listed complaints being from chicago was not the only one. You didn’t read the list, did you?

                  Hard to care for what you say

                  I don’t think we should take seriously, anyone who doesn’t think “neighbours being disappeared by the state based on their race” isn’t the most important issue in their community.

                  show me another candidate you support that is actually fighting for your community not to be disappeared?

                    … All of them? Like it’s actually funny. You see her most because she’s an influencer. Not because she’s the only one active. Probably helps that she’s not yet been elected so she doesn’t have any official duties to perform, unlike many of the other candidates, she has more free time.

                    https://evanstonnow.com/biss-to-ice-get-the-hell-out-of-evanston/

                    He’s also been out protesting, also got wacked by ice a bit… And you don’t see him on the news as much.

                    When we have candidates with such strong, proven records of improving cities, who also will protect them as kat would. Why would we go with an unproven influencer?

                    neighbours being disappeared by the state based on their race" isn’t the most important issue in their community.

                    I’m not, and never will be, a single issue voter, but my a major part of my point is that there is no difference between her immigration stance and the other candidates.

            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.

            “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

              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.

                She’s not gonna throw you off a roof because of her last name by the way, just to be clear.

                I am not a racist despite your rabid accusations

                You not speaking English seems to be very related to your lack of understanding

                  And voting based on that is childish if you agree with the policies.

                  I haven’t called you racist, trying to look for a valid (logically, not morally) reason for your very obvious distaste for someone who is an extremely solid progressive I thought maybe a bit of internalized islamophobia could be one possibility.

                  Sorry, but your points aren’t hard to understand, they are just childish.

                  And I should have added native English speaker, I’m a fluent English speaker on A1 level, born and living in Switzerland, so you’ve been argueing with someone on a different continent. Instead of just dodging what policies you disagree with you could have just dismissed everything I say or do 😉

                    And voting based on that is childish if you agree with the policies.

                    Childish to vote against someone who doesn’t care to actually research the community or live in it? No, that’s not childish. Not when there’s candidates with actively proven records like biss, who’ve shown to be strong on issues I care about like bike lanes and walk ability…

                    Instead of just dodging what policies you disagree

                    I made a clear answer to the question. Stop pretending I didn’t. Clearly they are hard for you to understand. I made it clear. Her issues are boilerplate, not special in the district. So it’s better to vote for a local who understands the other issues at play, not just immigration, especially when we have people on the ballot with proven records.

                    so you’ve been argueing with someone on a different continent

                    So? The only thing that matter for is if you don’t understand that politicians are meant to represent their districts, or if you don’t understand the history of how bad, bought politicians tend to love to live outside of the areas of their districts.

                    I love how now you pretend you’re fluent after claiming to not speak English. Nice. I don’t know the ranking, the languages I know do not use it.
