Tax wealth not work

@politicsgirl.bsky.social

She doesn't seem to have any real courage.

She doesn't look like she is willing to go to war with the Democrats the way Trump went to war with the Republicans in 2016

Genuinely looking for answers. The district she’s running for is according to Wiki “one of the most reliably Democratic districts in Chicago.” Wouldn’t it be a two birds one stone better option for her to be going after a moderate or red seat?

irishlace.bsky.social•17 days ago

I love her message but....

wdherndon.bsky.social•17 days ago

Her name is Abughazaleh, do you expect her to deny her heritage? Or do you think only terrorists wear that?

irishlace.bsky.social•17 days ago

I don't expect anything.
I am simply observing that it's there and asking how it might affect her potential voters.
If she had a trans flag on the wall or a picture of Karl Marx, I might ask the same question.
Is that not OK?

koinaoist.bsky.social•17 days ago

It kinda is (not ok) but you're entitled to your idea of world, just avoid to spook others with your prejudice.

lissatrodgers.bsky.social•17 days ago

Huh. Who else’s rights do you think we should toss aside to win votes?

irishlace.bsky.social•16 days ago

Where did I say anything about setting aside anyone's rights?
I am talking about messaging to voters & how those symbols might affect it.
What if she hung a Trump flag or a MAGA hat?
How might that affect her voters' reactions to her nascent campaign.
Jeez, why is everyone so thin-skinned?!

wdherndon.bsky.social•16 days ago

You implied it will be negative for her campaign: "but...".
What negative message do you think the scarf sends?
Why compare it to MAGA paraphernalia?
What does your thinking that say about you?
Maybe you should think about your own messaging?

lissatrodgers.bsky.social•15 days ago

I’m sorry that your stance of “hide our support of these people so we can get the support of people who don’t like them” isn’t as popular as you hoped. Try not to be so thin-skinned about it.

Oh right, it's as easy as this actress says.

Grow a backbone. So dated.

You go girl!!!!!!!!!

More of this please!

pattipms.bsky.social•17 days ago

We need a lot of people like her!

josephmarsh.bsky.social•17 days ago

Kat, wishing you the very best as you run for Illinois Congress

somewhat-confused.bsky.social•17 days ago

Best of luck. In my opinion, there should be less octogenarians in politics & more younger people. It's important because the future world, regardless of what state it is left in, will be yours.

countnathrakh.bsky.social•17 days ago

They're going to round her up in about 20 minutes.

kristinamcc.bsky.social•16 days ago

Thank you! I would never have heard of her if you hadn't amplified her video (New Yorker here). Heading over to her site right immediately now to help her campaign. Excuse me while I go donate.

kristinamcc.bsky.social•16 days ago

I'm back.. Donated, because I like her energy and her stance on most issues. But, the reservations I have are: she does not live in the district (she's in a lease she can't get out of, from what I read), has zero relevant experience, and is personally in a very shaky financial position.

flannekins.bsky.social•17 days ago

Clone her please 10000x

marylavagnino.bsky.social•17 days ago

This is what we need! If I lived in her district I would certainly vote for her

mmmjar1.bsky.social•17 days ago

She doesn’t even live in the district she’s running in. And she’s running against someone that’s progressive, just because the rep is old. That’s not courageous in my opinion.

sybilg.bsky.social•17 days ago

She has faith. Wow!

almunro.bsky.social•17 days ago

Isn't this a Republican (MAGA) looking to unseat a Democrat?

At least this is what I got from Google.

knitmyworld.bsky.social•16 days ago

She says some good things but needs to earn trust in other ways. We have seen people turncoat after elections....

Musk is the Manchurian Candidate.

kenoth.bsky.social•17 days ago

From any perspective, Trump exhibits all the attributes of tyranny. A tyrant has no place in a civilized world. As long as Trump remains, America can no longer be regarded as civilized.

dogfather1.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yep.

lalee508.bsky.social•17 days ago

!! Good for her! Love Kat.

ancientanubus.bsky.social•17 days ago

In 2016, the constitution party, a minor 3rd party ran a candidate named who had an interview on YouTube because main stream media wouldn’t give him the time of day. As questions were asked, he referred to either the constitution or federal law to answer those questions. THAT is what we need.

camelblue.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yep!

patryan.bsky.social•17 days ago

You are an inspiration.

skinaked.bsky.social•17 days ago

Us younger people need to run more in politics! Don’t be worried, just do it! You are better than so many other options! It’s time for the old guard (old old) to sit down and let us take over
