    Astroturfing would not leave as many comments as I am under one account. It would use a variety. You can easily search my username and see I have a very long history of using it, that should be sufficient proof to show I’m not an astroturfing person

      So you say, yet here you are, up and down the thread talking shit about someone who seems to be genuinely trying to help.

        If she genuinely wanted to help, I don’t believe the district in question was a good target. She basically chose a well held district with an uncorrupt representative and said “I’m going for this one” instead of a more corrupt or issue politician

          If the incumbent is retiring, is it so bad to replace the “uncorrupt representative” with someone who spends more money on the poor than on advertising?

          Your objections seem really really weak. Loving nearby rather than inside, being kind to poor people instead of running ads, starting “too early”, using social media effectively to gain popularity, a bunch of apparently different redditors (that you claim are all secretly her) liking her work.

          Were you or one of your friends hoping to stand or something? You seem to be accusing her of being suspicious because she’s doing things you think are unfairly popular.

            with someone who spends more money on the poor than on advertising?

            Interesting way to phrase vote buying.

            Your objections seem really really weak.

            She hasn’t even lived nearby for a year yet. Not living inside isn’t some small objection, it’s a major issue.

            using social media effectively to gain popularity

            Influencer personality with no substance to back it up. She could start at a local level and work her way up. Jumping to the top with no experience is how you get an ineffective politician who’s incapable.

            Were you or one of your friends hoping to stand or something?

            No.

            You seem to be accusing her of being suspicious because she’s doing things you think are unfairly popular

            No? Her policies have little to do with why she’s an issue. I’m accusing her of being suspicious because she’s acting too fast and without proven history, in an area she’s never lived in. She doesn’t know what the area actually needs.

            It only takes a quick glance at her platform to see

            Despite what the right may have told you, the Green New Deal is not some woke scam to ban beef farming or take away your old Corvette.

            She doesn’t exactly understand the area in the first place. She’s campaigning to a population that is centrist. When the area is straight blue, it’s pure condescending

            Almost her entire campaign is the boilerplate minimum it takes to get elected in the area.

              Seems to me that she understands that poor folks need food.

              with someone who spends more money on the poor than on advertising?

              She could start at a local level and work her way up. Jumping to the top with no experience is how you get an ineffective politician who’s incapable.

              Because becoming firmly entrenched in the traditional ways of the Democratic party, and running a traditional campaign, and waiting until there’s an incumbent to challenge before trying to get elected, and not actually helping poor folks with anything other than promises is the best way of winning and actually helping ordinary Americans?!

              You claim to be left of most Americans but it doesn’t half make you butthurt that someone standing for elections helps poor people for real.
