mostly cuz she says the shit i wish more dems would say (about repubs, media, etc). we need to have more dems built in the same vein in terms of speaking clearly and critically about the forces undermining dems/americans.

people bitch at me on here whenever i point out the dangers of parts of her approach and how it can wear out the tread on her political viability quickly. but i *want* her to have longevity while a lot of people are just cool with the the short-sighted sugar rush regardless of political consequences.

she is already as unpopular as people like pelosi and mcconnell. congressional party leaders are traditionally unpopular because of years of criticism, blame, etc. thats not a good place to be in for somebody who has been in congress for less than 2 *months*.

and her unpopularity was measured even before the butterfingered roll out of the green new deal and her wanting to be out in front on killing an amazon deal that the majority of her state wanted...was wanted by 70% of blacks and 80% of latinos in ny...and had the strongest support in bronx and queens (the 2 burroughs her district spans).

an undercovered aspect of her primary win...and one that runs contradictory to the prevailing narrative around it...is that she actually underperformed in black and latino strongholds...but carried over the finish line by gentrifying white progressives.

the amazon deal shutdown isnt gonna do her any favors in that area.

overall...the more people generally see of her...the less they like her (her favorables go down).

this is the type of shit that gets you pink slipped early in your career. people on here will prolly still bitch at me or blame some 'establishment' conspiracy when that happens tho.
